Mother-In-Law Stories

My MIL is always in our business.
She calls the house every morning and afternoon asking millions
of question. She is just being herself. She asks my
DH what he ate that day, what time he had to work, what time got
off of work, what did I cook, etc. It makes me so mad, because
DH sits there and answers her like he's some 4 year old kid.
But, I'm always in the background as DH answers his mother's questions.
I say li'l smart-mouth things like, "Gosh! Why is she
asking all of those questions? You're grown, and I'm grown.
It's none of her business." I think that she hears
me, too, but she asks her son anyway, "What did she say?"
Of course, DH lies to her and says something totally different
to her. Gosh! Even if he's sick, she calls the house
and wants him to come to her place, as if I don't know how to
take care of him. That pushes my buttons all the time.
So, guess what I did? I had to work on DH to get him not
to go to his mother's house every time that she asks him to visit.
The reason being that she only asks him over to ask him questions.
She knows that when she calls the house, he doesn't say much,
like he used to. So, she found a better way of getting him
to talk. I have a time limit on him when he goes to see
his mother. I told him that if he's at his mother's house
for an hour or longer, then I will come and get him. He
knows that I will do it, and when I do it, he also knows that
there's going to be nothing nice about me coming to get him.
So, he visits her, then he heads straight back home in 25 to 30
minutes. She always tried to push me around. She even
went as far as trying to make vegetable soup better than mine
only because her husband liked my soup better. She's still
competing against me today. I wish that we could move away
from her. That would solve a lot of our problems in the
marriage. His mother's messing it up for us both.
Either that, or he's going to have to find another woman to marry,
one who's going to put up with his mother. I'm not the one.

Ugh. Yesterday,
I got an instant message from my SIL. It told me, "Don't
answer the phone." Baffled, I asked, "Why?"
She replied, "Just don't! Where's my brother?"
I said, "He is outside. What on earth is going on?"
She reluctantly told me that my MIL and SIL are trying to reach
my DH. They have found an old fling of his, and want him to
come see her. MIL has been saying that she likes the other
girl better, and wants my DH to divorce me and marry this other
woman. Ugh She called, and my DH ducked under his pillow
and whispered, "Please! Please! Tell her that I
am asleep!" So, I did, and she didn't believe me.
*Ugh!* She said that the other woman is "better"
for him. She can give him free haircuts because she is a beautician.
Hmmm.

Worst gift: I know that
she means well, but the gift that my MIL gave us for our first anniversary
present was truly awful. It was a cake cutter that looked
pretty cool when we took it out of the box. Upon closer examination,
however, we discovered that the handle was, in fact, fashioned from
a mini-sculpture of two naked, intertwined bodies!! My question
is: To whom would I serve cake with this? Ick!
