My MIL has been dying for over
40 years, NOT! She takes 16 different kinds of meds, and
there isn't anything wrong with her. At the moment, my DH
and I are living with her, and I've never seen anything like her.
She barks orders from a chair that she doesn't move from all day.
She says she has no energy, yet she sure can flap that yap of
hers!!! DH and I just moved, and have asked for a small
amount of money. We are very appreciative about it.
It's just too bad that she handed it to us in rolls of nickels,
dimes and pennies. A dish can't even sit in the sink for
2 minutes. She mentioned to me that she can't believe the
amount of toilet paper that we've gone through!!! I've just
never felt so unwelcome anywhere in my life.

MIL is in the hospital
after having had major surgery. She called DH, a couple of days
before she went in, to let him know about it, and to beg him to
come to the hospital to see her. He said that he would come to
visit her, and then she begged him to come and stay with her the
entire time that she was there! Now, this is the same woman who
didn't come to see DH when he was in the hospital for almost a month
because she doesn't like hospitals. And DH does????!!

Frequent
Fry Her TM.
- desperately seeking sanity /Posted:16-AUG-04
I just thought I'd add a little MIL to DIL
translation phrase book from my own experience that may help other
DILs: "It's all in your head, " means - I didn't
expect anyone to remember that. "Where do you get these
ideas from?," means - They weren't supposed to tell you that.
"Oh, I can't remember," means - I don't WANT to remember.
"No, you've got it all wrong, I didn't mean that," means
- That's EXACTLY what I meant, but I didn't expect anyone to confront
me about it. "Of course we like you, but XXXX day is
the only one that's convenient for us to call round," means
- Except if you take a day off work, then it's any of the other
days that you work. Please feel free to respond with some
of your own!!!!!

RESPONSE: Desperately Seeking Sanity
LOL Thanks for the translation. I think it will help me with my
own MIL, he, he.
RESPONSE: Desperately Seeking Sanity
When she is on the telephone with her son, "Give my love to
your wife". That means, "I really don't care about her
at all, and only ever call to talk to you".
RESPONSE: Desperately Seeking Sanity
And a little step-MIL input. My step-DIL is not quite as subtle
as yours. Here are a few gems: "So, you're still in the same
job that you've been in for years?" meaning, "You're so
boring". Pointing at the food you've lovingly cooked for the
whole family, "This salmon is not organic," meaning, "However
much you try, your food's never right for me." "Technically,
I can't eat smoked salmon," when you've just brought them $50
worth of wild smoked salmon for the Christmas meal - she knew about
it, but hasn't bothered to tell you that she won't eat smoked salmon
because she's pregnant. Step-SIL to his dad,"We're canceling
our invitation to dinner for your birthday because my wife (DIL)
is too busy" - then you find out that she's been home all day
doing nothing, but is "very tired". "We're going
out at seven, you can stay if you like, but the baby-sitter will
be arriving soon" - you've been asked for a drink at 6.30 pm
to celebrate your birthday and find DIL in her going-out clothes,
with her boots on, ready to throw you and your husband out half
an hour later. Moral of the story: Give up on the nasty DIL and
concentrate on your friends and family instead!
