Mother-In-Law Stories
June 1, 2004

My cousin recently invited DH
and me to her wedding. She also invited my sister and her husband,
and my parents. She did not invite my brother and his wife.
The family is divided as to whether or not we should ask to have
my brother invited. Some of them are very upset about this, and
are considering not going because of the slight to my brother.
I feel that the decision is up to our cousin (she is a reasonable
person, and I am sure that she had good reasons for what she did),
and that we should not say anything.

Worst gift: DH and I
were given dental floss for Christmas one year. When we opened
the package, MIL said, "Now, leave Mine alone!!"
Signed - Dental Floss

Worst gift: My MIL is
obsessed with death, and is always "up" on the latest
news of who has died, who's got a brain tumor, who's on their last
legs, etc. She once bought my DH a full three-piece suit, complete
with shirt and tie, so that he'd have, "something to wear to
funerals!" The only two funerals that he's attended in the
past 20 years was his father's and my father's! DH has made me
promise that when he dies, he is NOT to be buried in that damn suit!

Worst gift: MIL does
not like me. She has made this clear to DH behind my back, thinking
that he won't tell me what she says. To me, she is sickly sweet,
and pretends that nothing is ever wrong, even though she vents to
DH about all the things that I do wrong. Anyway, I must tell you
about my "birthday present". I got a card on the day
of my birthday. Its message implied that God is doing the best
that he can with me. She said, in the card, that my birthday present
would be late. A week later, I received a package in the mail that
was full of toys and clothes for my DD. Hmmm. I wrote her a very
nice thank-you note, which repeatedly had my DD's name in it to
let her know that I got the drift. She then wrote to me to say
that she sent me a separate gift, and that she is surprised that
I have not gotten it. A week ago, she wrote to me and told me that
my package had been returned to her, that no one had picked it up
from the post office. I had never received a slip stating that
I had something at the post office, so I was a little suspicious,
but didn't really care. She told me that she would send my present
again and insure it this time with return receipt. Lo and behold,
today I got a package that was insured and had a return receipt.
Inside were Easter cards, Easter gifts, toys and clothes for my
DD. Oh, and a package of candy for me. Now, I'm not complaining
about the gifts. I will send her a nice thank you note, and my
DD will enjoy her toys. What bothers me is the fact that she is
trying to pass this off as the "birthday present" package
she "tried to send" back in February. Hmmm.
Signed - Apparently I'm
Not That Intelligent
