Should I be mad that the worming schedule is off?

A few days difference between them will not matter.

I think this woman is doing her best to rankle you and she is winning!

You married her son so, she has every right to be able to boss you!! (Or so she thinks)

The way to get to her is to carry on and do your own thing, Just let her get on with it and never let her see that she has got to you. That will be the most upsetting thing you can do to get back at her....Show more

Nah, it doesn't really matter. In an ideal world, they would all get wormed at the same exact time, but a couple of days aren't going to make a huge difference. Technically, if you take fecal samples and get them evaluated, you might find out your horses don't need wormed right now, or that they need different wormer. We just worm consistently on a schedule to be safe, not because the horses will all collapse if they get wormed on different schedules.

It's not worth the fight with your Mom-in-law, and if her horse is dropping weight, she might well be correct that she needed to get it wormed asap.

Edit: Ah yes... yes, that would start to get old. It's probably time to talk nicely to your spouse about the fact that you are going to kill your mother-in-law if she keeps it up. Then write up a very clear schedule for everything to do with your horse establishment. Along with costs, actually. If the gentle hint that you have an established method for doing things doesn't get through to her, it might be time to return the favor. If her mare doesn't get along in the pasture with your horses, then put HER in the separate paddock, and let your Mommy-in-law start taking care of her on her schedule. But truthfully, you are probably better off venting here, and breathing deeply the rest of the day. Some things are just really hard to change....Show more

I really do not think a few days will make that kinda difference. In laws are tricky creatures. Chose your fights carefully and weigh the after fight with the spouse. I would suggest that you write up a worming schedule and hand it to her. Thank her for being involved in the care of her horse and ask her if she will take care of her horses worming for hereon. If she says yes, then just worry about your own horses. If sounds like you have other issues that are bothering you so don't let the little stuff distract you from whatever the real problem is....Show more

Stage an "break out" and provide it to any one who will handle it competently. It's the correct factor to do for the reason that she Sounds ...... Not fair. Stealing any one's puppy and giving it away is so fallacious but if the animal is being omitted and abused then you definately have to use a few discretion and perhaps do whatever that might in any other case be immoral and fallacious. Not the whole lot is black and white / this can be a gray main issue....Show more

Try not to worry to much! A few days between will be ok :)

See this is why I have no contact with my mother-in-law!

She might be wrapped up in her own little world and not even realise she is rubbing you the wrong way. I have not seen any of your other posts bout her and your situation though so I may be very wrong!

Smile grit your teeth and bite your tongue, someone needs to keep the peace and it might need to be you...

Good luck I know how horrible the out-laws can be....Show more
