I was the unfortunate recipient
of a visit from my ILs this past weekend. They said and
did so many things to me that I am about half crazy over it.
First of all, I followed them to a store in my vehicle (two of
my three children were in their car). I had my baby with
me. I parked and got out. I looked at their car, and
they were gone. They had hurried and had run into the store
without waiting for me and my baby to get into the store.
When I did make it into the store, they were already in carts
and off. If you think that is rude ---- . Second:
My MIL took my two children to the mall cinema to watch a movie.
She left at 1:30pm to take them to the 2:15pm show. I figured
that they would leave after the movie because they were leaving
that night and the kids had school the next day. I guess
not. They shopped, and didn't leave the mall until 6:20pm.
There was no phone call, nothing. I called their cell phone
over 10 times to see where they were, and there was no answer.
I was worried sick. It was almost five hours later, and
no kids. I was freaking. I had told them that I wanted
the kids in bed by 7-7:30pm for the first day of school.
How was I to feed, bathe and get them ready for school in 20 minutes?
Not to mention, we had to order pizza because that was the dinner
arrangement. She finally called at 6:30 and I told my DH
to tell her that when she takes our kids, she WILL call our house
and tell us where they are and when they will be back. My
DH gave her an ear full. They all walked in while my DH
went to pick up the pizza. She said, "Oh, I am sorry.
Was mommy worried? Ha, ha, ha." I said, sarcastically,
"Just a little." I didn't talk anymore.
They ate a couple of pieces of pizza and left without saying good-bye.
I say, "Good riddance".

Worst gift: My MIL gave
me a potato peeler and a pot holder for Xmas last year. Needless
to say, we no longer speak. Sending her potato skins for her birthday
is something very naughty that I strongly thought about. But, instead,
I took the high road and sent her a thank you card gushing over
how thoughtful and generous she was.

Worst gift: For Xmas
my MIL gave me a flannel nightgown that I don't think my grandmother
would wear. I think that she wants to make sure that DH and
I don't have sex.
Signed - She Loves Me
Not
RESPONSE: She Loves Me Not
Sorry, I don't think that's a bad gift. A lot of women wear them,
married or not.
RESPONSE: She Loves Me Not
Maybe you should have written her a thank you note for the nightgown
(which her DS thought was "hot" when you wore it in front
of him). "DS and I BOTH want to thank you for that nightgown.
I'm really WARMED UP every time I wear it!" She can read into
it what she wishes.
RESPONSE: She Loves Me Not
You should have responded with, "Gee thanks, MIL, but I don't
wear nightgowns like that for bed. My DH prefers me to wear sexy
nightwear." Or, better still, tell her that you sleep naked,
as DH does as well. You could always use it if you wanted to decorate
your house.
