We had just been married and we were over at DH's parent's house when SIL asked my DH, "Guess who I just saw?"  SIL and MIL then said that DH had stayed all night with this person at a party that her brother had had, and then they were trying to make it sound recent.  I was sitting there thinking, "This is not happening," and, "How could they be saying that in front of me?" and, "Why are they teasing DH like that, like he is in high-school or something?"  I looked at the dog laying on floor and asked the dog if she needed to potty.  This was to get out of the house before I cried.  When I returned, DH was ready to leave, so we did.  I, of course, asked him about it, and when this was suppose to happen - and it had been years ago.  I asked why would they say something like that in front of me, and, of course, he made excuses for them, like he always does.

When I was pregnant with DD, my MIL asked me if she could be in the delivery room.  I wasn't exactly sure how to respond to her, so I told her that I would think about it.  I did, and decided that it would be just too weird, and that I wanted it to be a family thing, with my wonderful husband, our beautiful daughter and me.  Apparently, that wasn't good enough for her, and she went and cried to her DH.  She told him that she just wouldn't be able to live if we didn't let her in the room.  It was horrible, because my FIL didn't see it for what it was, manipulation by a deceitful woman, he just saw it as something that should be allowed, because it was easier to give in.  Never mind what I wanted, and what my DH wanted.  There wasn't really anything that we could do, either, because we had to live with them at the time.  No need to make waves, right?  So I sat in the delivery room trying to be calm and loving for my DH, and all she could do was complain because I had it easier than she did when she was having her sons, and her labor was nothing, and she didn't need drugs, blah, blah, blah.  What an annoying old hag.  There's more of her horrible stories involving my now one year old DD, but not enough time to write them all out now.  The worst part is that she thinks I'm on her side, and I just agree with my DH to keep the peace.  Little does she know, it's quite the opposite.

        Per the poster's request, no response necessary.

FMIL thinks that she is the "Domestic Diva" herself.  So, after DF and I registered, she checked up on the things that we picked.  And, of course, she hated everything.  She even called my mother and accused her of influencing the items that we registered for with her "bad taste".  Since DF was raised "with such beautiful things", it was clear that my mother has "bad taste and no class", and forced us to also pick out "such ugly things"!  She claimed that our place settings are "so ugly" that they gave her heart palpitations!"
