Of course they won't thank your wife. She's meek and mild and does NOT deserve any recognition for doing what she Should ALWAYS be doing for the MORE POWERFUL members of the family (meaning them)! Yeah right. Patty's family is afraid of the other sister because she truly is mean and is NEVER happy unless she is causing someone problems. Well what they don't know, is I am about half nuts and sometimes barely in control and don't care a wit about her sister. I'd tear her up like a can of kraut!
