My MIL started a trend on my birthday. She has
started giving me gifts that are not at all geared for me-they are
geared for the day that she has a granddaughter! So far I've
received a collectible figurine rag doll and a baby outfit with matching
bib that says "I love my grandma." Mind you, I'm not
going to reproduce anytime soon!

Since dealing with my MIL for the past 4 years, I've
yet to receive a decent gift from her. Every Christmas I get
a tacky soap set, and she clearly knows that I'm allergic to that
stuff. I've always gone above and beyond in getting her a nice
gift that she can actually use! The first Christmas I bought
her a beautiful porcelain figurine from a collection that she enjoys.
I guess she felt bad that my gift was much nicer than hers, so she
ran upstairs and gave me a used bracelet that was so worn out that
the gold covering on it was chipped!

My SIL and I are trying to get along better (there
was a family misunderstanding a few years ago). MIL hates that.
Recently, SIL invited me to a local festival that I was dying to go
to. MIL knew this and she invited herself along. She came
along and complained the whole way there. Within minutes of
arriving she said, "We need to go. I don't feel well."
She purposely cut our outing short because she knew that I was so
happy to be there!

This past holiday season my MIL was very depressed.
We had been without power due to hurricanes, her brother's house was
very damaged during the storm, and her sister was sick in the hospital.
As is customary, my parents and I usually celebrate Thanksgiving the
Wednesday before and then I celebrate on Thursday with my ILs.
She called the Monday before Thanksgiving to "cancel" Thanksgiving
dinner! DH and I were in disbelief and said, "No, let's
have Thanksgiving at our place. We'll take care of everything,
just come and relax." Immediately after our conversation
I ran to the grocery store and bought enough food for 30 people (ILs
and all their relatives). I made a baked ham, I got a huge turkey,
I got everything for the sides, dessert, the works. I called
MIL to let her know that I had taken care of everything. She
said, "We're going to bring a ham." I told her that
I already had prepared a ham, not to worry. I told her, "Bring
the salad, if you'd like," as I know FIL loves to make fancy
salads. On Thanksgiving Day, after I slaved in the kitchen for
4 days, everything was just right. The turkey was perfect, the
sides were incredible, the house was pristine, candles everywhere,
music, the works. My ILs showed up at my house with a salad
and A TURKEY! AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She knew
that I had made a turkey, she knew I made ham! She said, "We
were afraid there wasn't going to be enough food." Enough
food? She knew the entire menu! What was worse was that
FIL was in charge of "carving" the turkey, and he carved
their turkey, not mine! At the end of the night, everyone else
somewhat thanked me for dinner. Whenever anyone mentioned how
good my ham was, MIL would say, "Did you like our turkey?"
People later began noticing that I made a turkey, too, and everyone
asked, "Why didn't you serve it?" All I could say
was, "I wasn't in charge of carving it." It's been
well over 3 months since Thanksgiving, and I'm still waiting for a
thank you for an excellent dinner and an apology for not believing
in my cooking skills.
