Mother-In-Law Stories

My MIL is as cheap as they come.
I was pregnant, and it was Christmas, so my MIL offered to make
outfits for my 3 girls to wear for their Christmas photos. She
made cooking aprons for the girls. The problem? They were from
a shower curtain - not a clean one, either. The shower curtain
had been used in her house for years. It had soap scum all over
it, and the edges were curled up. She had cut the pattern with
pinking shears, so the edges poked into my girls every time they
moved. The ties were not on correctly, so one was 8 inches higher
than the other. It had dried mildew that was flaking off. My
MIL wanted to have the girls pretend to make cookies wearing this
"apron" to send to the relatives. My girls could not
even bend in them, much less cook in them. And, the 2 year old
kept trying to taste the mildew flakes. MIL was furious. I would
not let them wear them. I am labeled now as the ungrateful, picky
DIL.

Worst gift: Last month,
my ILs went for a trip out of the country. Ok, let me tell you
that I'm a healthy, beautiful size 9. MIL is always talking about
how pretty thin girls are, since my SIL is like a size 3, and all
of DH's cousins are really thin. It's a genetic thing. Do you
know what the woman brought me back as a souvenir?? She brought
me a horrible, crappy t-shirt, SIZE XL and there was a discount
coupon for the local gym. TOP THAT!!!!
Signed - TOP THAT!

I have been married to
DH for almost 10 years, and I still have not figured out my ILs.
They choose to ignore anything that was unpleasant in the past,
and they pretend that it didn't happen. Know of almost no family
history on DH's side, because no one will talk about their parents
(mostly MIL). DH had some very nasty things happen to him when
he was very young. I believe that he needs counseling, so I took
a deep breath, and asked MIL about one thing, she said, "That
never happened!!! I know nothing about such horrible things!!!"
End of conversation. How can people just forget about the past
and not care about things that have really hurt their kids?????
