Worst gift: My BF and
I are just starting to talk marriage, but we have been together
for about 2 years. His mother is always making rude comments
to me. But, last Christmas I was so embarrassed. She
told me that my present didn't come in the mail yet. Three
weeks later, I got a blank card with a gift card in it.
A gift card????? How does someone not have time to pick
up a gift card before Christmas? She drives me Nucking Futs!!!!
When can I stand up to her? Do I need to wait until we are
married, or do I just need to take it for the rest of my life?
HELP!!! My BF sticks up for her all the time. I don't
want to upset him, either.
Signed - MIL Nucking
Futs!

Worst gift: My tacky,
redneck MIL never even gave us a wedding gift. Oh, yes, and don't
forget that she cried like a baby all through our engagement party,
and through our wedding weekend. And they weren't tears of joy.
Get a life, lady. Your son is my DH now, and . . .

My FIL has driven away
all of his family members, and also my MIL's (they live on the same
road, and have not spoken for over 15 years!!!). This is the
advice that he gave my four year old son. "When you go
to school, and some kid takes your toys, don't give the toys.
If necessary, beat up the other guy, and let them know what stuff
you are made up of." Believe me, he made the mistake
of giving the advice in front of me (lucky me) because, for the
first time in my 6 years of marriage, he got it back from me.

RESPONSE: Not So Docile DIL
A not so docile DIL, who apparently wants to raise a docile son.
Your DIL will be posting on this site in 15 or 20 years. Maybe
FIL is a jerk, but he is right in this case. Don't raise a wimp.
RESPONSE: Not So Docile DIL
Your FIL may have many bad qualities, but there's a germ of truth
in what he told your DS. A kid has to learn to stand up for himself,
or he will always be the victim of bullies. Bullies pick on the
weak, not the strong. Now, of course, your FIL put it wrong - making
the issue about toys, rather than self-defense. But, he wasn't
completely off track on this one issue.

one set of responses will be posted per day).
