My MIL went crazy when we told her we weren't going
to travel 8 hours to her house on Christmas. We wanted to
spend our Christmas in our new home. We invited her to come
to our house for Christmas, but she responded that she wanted to
spend Christmas with HER family. Then, she said to my DH,
"I knew this would happen," referring to me. She
thinks that I purposely convince my DH to want to stay at our house
so that he wouldn't see his family. If that were the case,
I wouldn't have invited them to our house. Well, anyway, my
MIL has never gone to her ILs for any holidays. My husband
has never seen his father's parents for Christmas, Thanksgiving,
or even Easter. She always had to go to her parent's house.
She is sooooooo spoiled - I can smell her from 8 hours away.
I would love to point this out to her. I hope she finds this
page.
RESPONSE: She Is Sooooooo Spoiled
My MIL said exactly the same thing to DH when he told her that we
were going to my family's home for Xmas (6 hours away). This
was after we tried to juggle the two families for 7 years!
I guess I'm not considered part of MIL's family, or part of my DH's
family. Some MILs are soooo spoiled, as you said! This
year, we are adding our first child into the mix. The fireworks
should be better than July 4th!
RESPONSE: She Is Sooooooo Spoiled
That is so unfair!! I don't blame you for being frustrated.

Dear MIL, I really don't understand why you
hate me. I have been nothing but nice to you for the past
3 years, but I'm not going to do that anymore. As for what
I really think of you - you are a spoiled brat that thinks money
can buy love and happiness. I would love to make a list of
all the horrible things you have done over the years, but it would
be too long. Here are some of the highlights: You went
on a family vacation and invited your son, but not me. You
threw a fit when we moved closer to my parents - you called my husband
every day and made him feel badly, asking him to please not call
my mother "mom". You visited on my birthday and
gave me a card, while you gave my husband his very expensive birthday
gift that same weekend. You feel that if you are willing to
pay for us to fly to visit you, that we should drop everything and
come. We get some of YOUR bills because you filled out the
change of address to our address, saying that they are now ours
- not ever warning us that this was to happen in the future.
You complain of having no money, but you don't even work full time,
and you have bought a huge boat and 6 new vehicles in 3 years.
You were very rude to my parents when you came to visit. You
call my husband to make him feel guilty a lot. You call him
at work so you don't have to talk to me. You insult me and
have an attitude whenever you see me. You got upset when we
didn't go to your house for Christmas, but just remember that you
never visited your in-laws on any holidays! Basically, I just
think you're spoiled and would hate any girl who took your son away
from you. You need to get over it, because I'M going to be
the one having YOUR grandchildren. So you better smarten up.
There, now I feel better. DIL.

My MIL did not even come to my wedding shower.
She did send a present, though. But it was something my husband
really wanted, and she knew it. It was supposed to be a gift
for me, not for him.
RESPONSE: It Was Supposed To Be A Gift For Me
My FIL's GF did not come to my wedding shower. I was glad,
because my family was raised to be respectful and have some class.
GF was raised to be loud and rude. The GF, by the way, hates
being thought of as the GF (vs. wife). She was 3 hours late
to my baby shower. When she arrived, she ordered my brother
to load the gifts into my car. She had not even entered the
house yet, and she was already loudly ordering people around.
My SIL and her DIL were at my shower, and totally ignored her.
They do not like her at all. Now that my beloved FIL is dead
(I really did like him, and I do miss him a lot), I never have to
see my FIL's GF again!
RESPONSE: It Was Supposed To Be A Gift For Me
I'm sorry that happened. That WOULD hurt a person's feelings.

My MIL and FIL visited one weekend. We went
out to dinner with them and my parents. While at dinner, my
mother was attempting desperately to make conversation with my MIL.
She would answer her with short answers, and sounded very uninterested
in making conversation. When my DH was talking, she was glued
to him, involved in the conversation, and laughing at his jokes.
I thought it was so rude that she ignored my parents. She
was very nice to them before we got married. But, once we
moved close to them, she decided not to like them. MIL is
a very jealous woman who would call DH and beg for him not to refer
to my mother as "mom". My parents love and respect
my DH as if he was one of their own children. I would love
to say something to this b!tch, but it would cause an argument with
my DH. What should I do?

My MIL interrupted our last dance at our wedding
to find out if we were going to meet her in the morning for breakfast.
I was so annoyed. She is such a spoiled brat. It is
even on the wedding video.
