My MIL thought it would be “good to give the nice young black man a chance”. Oy! I didn’t speak to her for two years.
Now when you speak to her you can tell her you told her so.
I know quite a few who thought the same way. Now they have buyer’s remorse. It’s all I can do sometimes to keep from saying, I told you so.
I almost didn’t speak to my sister for part of a year because they voted for Obama. Their reasoning: (1) they are good union Democrats; (2) they wanted that free Obamacare for their unemployed 25 year old son, don’t you know.
If that was what she thought, she was wrong on all counts. He is not nice, He is not young. He is not Black. But at least the Obama voters are getting what they voted for . They should be happy. My hope is that they get a lot more of the same.
Tell her you’re going to return the favor when picking her retirement home ;o>
Mine said nearly the exact same thing.... I nearly fainted because I couldn't channel the anger in any other direction.
