My SIL mentioned that someone at her job admired her brother.  My MIL's response was, "Maybe she's interested in my son!"  Being the DIL that I am I responded, " Remember, he's married to me; the person who gave you two grandchildren?"  She answered, "So what!  I never liked you anyway."

Worst gift:  I was pregnant during the holiday season.  My now ex-MIL bought me diet pills!!!  I was nine months pregnant, and she said that I had gained so much weight (30lbs) that I would need to get all of it off if I wanted to be considered pretty again!!  I was never so insulted, and hurt at the same time, ever in my life!!

        Signed - So Insulted

MILs are people, too.  We love our DIL, but nothing we do is ever enough or appreciated.  We love our son very much, and would like her to be part of our family.  She hates our one daughter, who is very sweet and kind and will do anything to help out.  Her dad and mother are divorced.  We don't expect her to love us like her family, but it would be nice if she did not treat us like nonentities.  I would confront the issues, but my DH doesn't want to.  She is very well educated and talented.  Our son invited us to visit them at their cabin (which is 1/2 ours) on Father's Day.  She ignored us for the entire day.  ILs are people with feelings, too.

        Signed - A MIL
