The Cat Who Ran out of Lives:  BF's mother collects cats.  Being an animal lover myself, I understand her soft spot for animals.  HOWEVER, she has about 15 of them living in her ROOM and bathroom (I love all the cats, but these rooms are filthy as a result).  She also has some cats in other parts of the house that need to be separate from the other cats due to illness.  One of these cats was Miss Fuss Budget.  She was a sweet, old, VERY sickly cat.  She'd been through chemo, and was now suffering from liver failure.  She lived in a room with BF's grandmother, was confined to a cushion, and often defecated on herself because she was too weak to get to the litter box.  She barely ate.  I would often go see Miss FB because she was very affectionate, and I hated that she received NO attention whatsoever from BF's mother.  A couple of weekends ago, BF's parents went on a trip, and I was allowed to stay over, since the witch wasn't around.  Before she left, the witch told the kind, foreign lady who takes care of the grandma that she "better keep the cat alive" while she was away.  This woman was disturbed by this, and told BF and me.  Well, as luck would have it, Miss FB took a turn for the worse not two days later, and was bleeding from both ends.  Being a former vet tech trainee, I did my best to keep her comfortable and clean.  But it was clear that she was in great pain, and the assistant was scared that the cat would die.  We called BF's father and asked him what to do.  He told us to bring the cat to the vet.  His mother didn't know anything about this yet, as she wasn't with the father when we called.  So, we brought the cat in and waited for the doctor to see us.  He told us that the cat was dying of liver failure, and wouldn't likely make it through the night.  She was also in great pain, and was bleeding all over the exam table.  The vet recommended that we put the cat down, and we both thought it was the best solution, but BF was scared to death of his mother's reaction.  She finally got word of what was going on, called BF on his cell, and SCREAMED at him for bringing the cat to the vets.  She insisted that we bring the cat home at once and keep her alive.  However, the doctor would not discharge her, and I don't blame him.  BF's father then called again, and told us to go ahead with the euthanasia.  Then again, the opposite instructions came from his mother.  We finally decided to take the matter into our own hands, and put the poor cat to sleep.  We both cried and held each other, as it was a very sad thing to see.  But, at least she wouldn't be in pain any longer.  That's when BF received a voice-mail from his mother on his phone, "I can't count on you to do ANYTHING.  All you do is make things WORSE.  As far as I'm concerned you're DEAD TO ME.  & %$ YOU."  I was appalled.  I couldn't believe a mother could speak to her child that way.  My mother would NEVER!!!  She also knew that I was around when all of this was taking place, and she partly blames me for it.  She also will not speak to GM assistant, even now, a month later.  Psycho, selfish, crazy woman!!!  I have only disgust left for this woman.

How's this for classy?  I was IMing MIL, and told her that I was trying to get the baby to sleep so that I could make an important phone call (without him crying in the background).  Since I breastfeed, her response was, "Just put your big tit in his mouth."  And, yet she puts down other people as "trailer trash".  She has a mouth that is so dirty, its disgusting.  She has said inappropriate things to my 4 year old daughter!  She swears openly in front of the children, yet when we ask her politely to watch her language, her response is either, "That's just the way I am.  I can't change who I am, " (she doesn't swear in front of her boss's kid), or she says, "DH swears in front of the kids."  Yes, he does, but he TRIES not to, and I always call him on it, too.  Just because I do something, that doesn't mean it's ok.  If I slip up and swear, it's suddenly all right for her to use every cuss word in the book in front of the kids?

MIL used to be a very nice woman - that was before she lost 100 lbs. on a popular diet program.  Now that she isn't fat, she thinks that she is so good looking that she doesn't have to be nice anymore.  Before, she had a nice personality to make up for her obesity.  Now, she thinks that her looks will get her everything.  She constantly puts down other people for their looks.  She was obese for YEARS, but now she gets to sit and judge other people!  She even tells DH that he is lazy and fat (not true!).  She puts down a very nice lady at her work because she is "fat" (MIL is the same size!) and has no friends - neither does MIL!  All she has are guys whom she picks up at bars!  She spends all her money on clothes, booze, and her "boyfriends".  She even took toilet paper that WE bought and brought it to her BF's house!  Now we're out of toilet paper, and guess who had to go buy more?!  She doesn't contribute to groceries, either, but had money to buy her BF groceries, including fancy cat food!  I truly believe that losing weight has been a bad thing for her, as she was so much nicer before!
