frequent fry her - beyond pissed, 1 of 4 needed Frequent Fry Her TM - beyond pissed, 1 of 4 needed /Posted: 5-JUN-04
Well, I, as some others decided to tell my MIL what I can't stand about her.  And, I found that all it did was give her more ammunition.  MIL moved in with us about a month and a half ago in hopes of landing a better job, etc.  Since she has lived with us, I have come home from work every day and completely flipped my personality to a ferocious, mean person.  The minute I pull up into my driveway I snarl at the sight of her car parked in front of my home.  And, as she knows, the minute I walk in the front door and see her standing there waiting to greet me, I flare up and walk right back out the door.  I feel so bad that I just want to knock her nasty, buck looking, big gapped teeth down her throat.  The problems first began when she decided to try to mother my kids, one of whom is from a previous marriage.  My oldest is almost 6, and my youngest is 6 months old.  Then, she somehow came to the conclusion that it was her decision to make whether or not my DD got dessert, what she would drink with her dinner, or whether she could play outside prior to doing homework (yeah, kindergarten assigns homework!).  We moved into a bigger home, with rays of hope that we would see less of her, and enjoy our privacy with our children.  Work?  NO!  I think that I see more of her now!  She cries and says, "I'm lonely," boo hoo!  I don't care!  I have had it.  DH and I sat down and told her all the things that she did that pissed us off.  She said, "Okay, I'll work on it."  THEN, she started doing it more!!  And, ONLY when DH isn't around to see her do it!  And, when I would yell and curse at her, she would act innocent and say that she was "only trying to help".  I want to take that "only trying to help" and shove it up her $%*!  Every time she does something, like pick up our son, or answer my daughter (yeah! still!) she looks at me with a distinct smirk!  OOOHHH!!!  I could SCREAM!!  I will write more later.  There is lots more!!

( I want my own Frequent Fry Her TM Page )

She is really not my MIL yet, but she might be sooner or later, if I can hang on.  This woman is an ex-army, postal worker.  She is very far from intelligent, and anyone can tell from miles away.  Here is my story:  First off, I need to tell you that I am 35 years old, and have an 11 year old son.  DF is 25 and has 3 children from three women.  Yes, he was young and stupid, but he does pay child support.  He is only allowed to see his son from the last GF he had, who is now 4.  He made the choice to have the first child adopted, because he was still too young and he had no job.  The child's mother was a nut case.  Regarding the second child, the mother told him that if he didn't want to be in her life, he was not allowed to be in the daughter's life.  Well, he didn't know that he could fight for the right to see her, so he respected her choice.  The third is a wonderful little boy whose mother is annoying, but we can deal.  FMIL is a completely different story.  When DF and I started seeing each other, I had just gotten out of a 10 year marriage.  I was broke, jobless, and had nowhere to go.  His mom asked me if I wanted to move in with them to get on my feet.  I got no unemployment pay, but kept the home clean to make up for it.  We did not spend any of her money, and DF helped take care of me.  I was job hunting daily, but it is difficult in our area.  I finally got a job, and boy was I happy.  Then, she was going to Europe to visit friends, so I figured that she should meet my family.  While there, she told my mother that her son (DF) is a total moron and is learning disabled, that I am fat and lazy, that all I do is eat and sleep, and that my son (my mother's grandson) is annoying and she can't stand him.  In the meantime, she told her about her own grandson and what a joy he is.  This was rather interesting to hear from my mother.  At that point, my mother told me to be careful, because dumb people are more dangerous than smart people.  She asked whether my DF was mentally handicapped, and if he even had a driver's license (had I seen it), because she made him sound like he was a space case.  This was his own mother.  I just laughed and dealt with it.  Finally, DF decided to get our own place and move out.  DF told her, and she said that, instead, she would look for a different place to buy for herself, and we could just stay here and rent from her.  That was fine, since we were pretty settled in.  This finally happened about 4 months later.  In the meantime, my best friend sent me a ticket to visit her in the southwest for 2 weeks.  While I was gone, FMIL tried to talk my DF into getting rid of me.  I was too old, I was rude to her friends (she has none), and she didn't trust me.  Finally, when I got back, she moved.  To get a little off the subject, this woman had DF file bankruptcy at the age of 18, because he had a few bills, and then she bought him a car that is financed in her name.  But, he makes the payment every month.  Anyway, so DF received a rental agreement with just his name because she says that she doesn't trust me.  I am a very giving person - I don't expect anything in return.  For Mothers Day last year, we got her a few cool gifts that we thought that she could use.  For her birthday and for Valentine's Day we also got her some things.  She did take us shopping for Valentine's Day, and told us to both pick something out.  After we went to have lunch, she wanted to let us know that we were her last choice (to go anywhere with), but everyone else whom she had talked to was busy.  That was a great feeling, if I might add.  For Christmas, we gave up and didn't get her anything because she didn't even want to be around when the kids opened their gifts from us.  She got them nothing.  The only thing that she is able to do correctly all the time is make DF feel like a blithering idiot, not able to stand on his own two feet.  After I talked him into taking some college classes that he was proud of, she asked him what he was taking.  When he told her that he was taking some business classes, she laughed at him, and told him that he was a moron anyway, and that he was wasting his time and money.  She wants to control every move he makes, but can't even control her own.  She gets monthly rent from us.  She had a cable bill in her name so that it's not in mine, because DF still owes them money from when he was younger.  She doesn't want it in my name because she doesn't trust me.  Trust me with what?  If the bill is in my name, then it's my problem.  What would she have to trust me about?  She doesn't own the cable company.  She is such a blithering idiot that the best thing for us would be to move far away.  In order to do that, there are quite a few things that we'd have to do first.  Example:  I can't move out of state with my son unless my ex-husband agrees, which he won't.  I feel a little better about writing this.  She really makes me angry, and I can't even say anything to her because we do still rent her home right now.  I guess she assumes that my DF is not telling me all the cr@p that she is saying behind my back.  Duh.  By the way, I am going to school to hopefully become a police officer, and am working full-time.
