Gilly Hon, I know exactly how you feel. Just realise she's probably beat herself up quite a bit over it and hopefully will learn from it. That won't replace the glasses but having kids isn't ever cheap. When I was reading your post I could hear my Mom saying "Money doesn't grow on trees Ya know!" Maybe Murphy took a day off and the FIL and she will find them. I'll keep my fingers crossed. Hang in there, it always gets better.
