Worst gift: My MIL's
birthday was last month, and DH and I went out with his parents
for a big dinner. I, individually, gave her a card and a book
that she had wanted. I felt weird about giving it to her at the
same time that she received gifts from her husband and son, as
our relationship is less significant. So, I put them on her bedside
table. She never said anything about them - no "thank you",
nothing. I know that she got them. Furthermore, my birthday
was exactly one week after hers, and she didn't even say happy
birthday to me, let alone get me a gift. I'd say that the disrespect,
the disapproval, and the feelings of insignificance that she gave
me are by far the worst gifts ever.

I have been married for
24 years. DH has never stood up for me when it comes to his family.
My son was killed in a car accident a year ago. At my DS's wake,
my friend heard my MIL saying, "With how religious DIL is,
I'm surprised she never got her DS confirmed." My friend just
told me this recently, when she felt that I was strong enough to
handle this. DH knows how upset I am. It has been 6 months since
I heard this, and I refuse to see MIL or speak to her. Now his
family is getting upset that I never attend any family things or
speak to any of them. I feel that DH should have brought it to
his mom's attention and told her how hurt and devastated I was that
she would say something like that about me. But, he won't. When
I asked him why, he said, "I don't know." I am so hurt
and frustrated, and my marriage is falling apart over this. I need
help. Thanks.

Before DS was born, MIL took us to a secondhand store
to buy some clothes for him. Instead, she got DD a dance leotard
that was 2 sizes too big (it falls off her shoulders) and a leopard
print pantsuit. She got my other DS a plastic fire hat. They have
enough stuff and clothes! We were there to get stuff for the baby
(DH and I picked out some sleepers and outfits). Well, the total
was more than she had wanted to spend (more than half of it was
the cr@p that she had gotten for DD and DS), so she made DH and
I pay for half. If she had said that in the beginning, I would
have gone to a discount department store and gotten better prices
for new stuff (ok, not name brand, but I could not care less about
name brands - a sleeper is a sleeper, IMO). She always does stuff
like this! She has said, "Let's go out to eat, my treat,"
and then when the check comes, she asked DH to pay half. If she
had said that straight up front, we would not have gone, and she
KNOWS it! She knows that we don't have that kind of money to blow,
not when she doesn't pay for ANY groceries for herself and GM (but
she buys her boyfriend groceries). She's so cheap that she won't
even buy toilet paper, but she has enough money to go and buy fast
food for herself. She took DH and his friend out last weekend.
She told DH that she would buy all his drinks if she could go with
them, because she didn't want to go all by herself. Well, they
got to a sleazy bar, and she hooked up with a man within 30 minutes.
Soon, she told DH to take $40 and her car, and take a hike. He
paid for the drinks that she had ordered for him, drove his friend
home, used part of the money to put gas in her car, and came home.
Now she wants her $40 back!
