Well, i had a paw-in-law like that, too! It was his way or the hiway!His main thing in life was telling me i had it all wrong! So, i bought a nice house 20 miles away. We'd go visit every other week. He'd ask how things were going-i'd say alright, never talked about my work, never advanced any ideas, just smiled and kept the peace-after all i had to live with his daughter!! to make a long story short, the guy was going partially blind, his wife had died, he was living all alone, couldn't see to cook, and couldn't see to drive any more! I made him an offer: If he'd pay for the addition, upper living area, i'd pay for the foundation and garage, and he could live there in our home as long as he lived! He took me up on that offer, and he lived with us until he died, which was quite a while! And, he never said anything bad about me ever again. He and i would sit and watch tv on cold dark evenings, with the snow blowing around! And, i made big points with the rest of the family! so, be nice to F-in-Law. He's probably afraid of losing control of things, as he gets older. so, just smile, say O.K., and do what you want with yer field. And, hide the tractor keys! by: Rustyj
