FIL enables SIL by getting involved
in her day to day decisions about her kids,
her job, and her marriage. He has always tried to be involved
in our (DH and my) life, but we gently let him know that we wanted
to handle things ourselves, even if we made mistakes. I feel
that FIL isn't doing SIL any favors by getting so involved with
her so often. It has to be hurting her marriage, and not allowing
her to grow up and think for herself. After all, FIL won't be
around forever. SIL has said that DH and I are secretive and
weird, since we keep our business to ourselves. But, I see that,
as being adults, and handling our lives the way we want, not the
way our parents would. I don't see SIL changing her ways. Do
you agree that I should say something to FIL or MIL about this?
I feel that it would be in SIL's best interest. MIL is easy to
talk to, and is more reasonable than FIL when it comes to these
things. DH says that I should stay out of it.

MIL brags, brags, brags
about her daughter all the time. We hear about her faaaaabulous
job, her genius of a daughter (MIL's GD), her home, and her son-in-law's
super job as a car salesman. Honestly, you'd think that this man
was curing deadly diseases or something the way she carries on.
And, my SIL's new home is so incredible that "The Donald"
himself would be jealous. This home has "everything"
that you'd ever want in it, according to MIL. She even told us
that the builder liked her daughter so much that he threw in lots
of upgrades for nothing (yeah, like anyone would believe that!).
Her daughter is the most treasured employee at her firm. She works
at a large, international firm, but she has the ear of all the upper
level management. And, we are to believe that they seek HER advice.
And, they love her and she can do no wrong, etc. Aaaagh. When
it comes to SIL, I am not sure which came first, the chicken or
the egg. Does MIL lie, or is my SIL feeding MIL the lies? Or,
is it a combination of the two? Either way, I find myself almost
laughing while she tells me these things, and I wonder if the disgust
that I am feeling shows on my face.

I've raised my children,
both are boys. I have learned a great deal reading all the different
postings here, and I was wondering about all the DILs who write
in complaining, and justly, about the behaviors of their ILs. I
wonder if they will remember how it felt to be snubbed, ignored,
belittled, lied to and about, etc., and try NOT to do the same behaviors
to their children's spouses. I mention this, as I know that someday
I, too, will be the dreaded MIL. I have had first hand snubbing
for all sorts of perceived wrongs on my part, so I know that I will
do my darndest to not treat the love of my children's life like
sh!t.

Frequent
Fry Her TM.
- crimsonbutterfly, 1 of 4 needed
/Posted: 2-JUN-04
I was 19 when I married my DH, and we had been together
for three years before we married. This all happened within the
last three years that DH and I have been married. There is still
three years worth of he!! that I have yet to go into. That's why
I decided to get a Frequent Fry Her page. From the day that I met
my FMIL, she hated me. She refused to make eye contact with me
when we were first introduced, and from the first day that I knew
her, she would call me by my DH ex-GF's name. Sometimes, I thought
that she was doing it on purpose. After getting to know her better,
I decided that I didn't want to be around someone like her. She
was very twisted, and liked to play people off one another. She
always borrows money from people, and acts as if everyone on earth
owes her something. She ruined our wedding by "accidentally"
forgetting to mail out our invites. She ruined our reception by
calling up our caterer and canceling the order behind our backs.
She even tried to ruin our honeymoon by calling up the hotel to
cancel our reservations. When I found out that I was pregnant,
she seemed very happy for us. It would have been her first grandchild,
if I hadn't miscarried. Two weeks before that happened, she invited
us over for dinner to "celebrate". After being rushed
to the hospital that night, I found out that she had put peanuts
in the dessert, even though she knew that I was horribly allergic
to nuts. Later, she told her sister, who in turn told my DH, that
she did that on purpose, because she didn't think that I deserved
to have his child. After I got a full time job that I adored, I
mysteriously got fired one afternoon after my boss called me into
his office to inform me that a woman had called and said that I
threatened her life. That woman, of course, turned out to be my
MIL. This evil, twisted woman would send letters to our house with
random names on them to try to make me think that my DH was cheating.
She would put phone numbers in his pockets when he went to visit
his father, in hopes that I would find them and think that he was
cheating. She even went so far as to contact DH's ex by email pretending
to be DH, telling her that he wanted her back, and to come to the
house. The ex showed up one day, but told me that she knew it wasn't
DH who had sent the email. To the anger and disappointment of MIL,
DH's ex and I are actually good friends now. I think that it's
a friendship based on mutual hate of the MIL. My DH can't stand
this woman, either, and he has done all he can to cut ties with
her. However, he loves his father, and has to see HER in order
to visit HIM. We recently moved out of state after the last thing
my MIL did. We had just bought a puppy, and this dog stayed inside
with us most of the time. On warm days, we would let her outside
in our fenced in back yard. It got back to MIL about how much I
adored this dog. One day, our dog became violently ill, and we
rushed her to the vet. Our dog died a few days later. We were
told that she consumed a lethal amount of rat poison. About a month
later, because she loves to gossip, MIL let it slip to her sister
that she had poisoned our dog. Her sister, who didn't like me before
because she bought into all the things that MIL said about me, realized
that MIL was a nutbag. She had her arrested, and then told us what
happened. We pressed charges for animal cruelty and immediately
moved out of state.
