I have 2 children, a 4 year old
son (her first grandchild) and a 1 year old daughter (her youngest
grandchild). I am at the point where she is going to hear
everything that she has ever done to tick me off. When my
son was born, she was so nice. She would by him cheap little
trucks at the dollar store every 2 weeks or so. He loved
her, and thought that she was the best. Then, my DH's sister,
then 20 years old, got pregnant. I was also pregnant with
mine at the same time. My DH's sister is a spoiled brat,
and can barely look after herself. Her mother did everything
for her; fed her son, changed him, got up in the night, everything.
She lived in her home for free. She moved out a few months
ago. She has no car or license, and no desire to get them.
My MIL drives 1 hour to get her, and gets her groceries for her.
She comes into my town and never visits me, ever. Well,
she now treats my little guy like he doesn't exist, or she acts
like he is a pest and she doesn't pay any attention to my little
girl. This witch doesn't work, and has all the time in the
world to come see her grandkids. Today is my DD's 1st birthday
and MIL "forgot that it was her party". We went
out to her house this evening, and she bought this little baby,
who is 1, a new toddler race car bed. They really don't
have the money for it, and he can't use it for a while.
I could keep writing, but I will stop. My DH is chicken
and told me to drop it. We can spoil our kids, but it's
not the same as grandparents. They spent the night at SIL's
house 3 times in 1 year. This nephew is there every Friday
and Saturday night! Help me now! What should I do?
Do you agree that I should confront her over the phone?

Just a few questions:
What kind of grandmother would refuse to take her handicapped GS
to the hospital when her DIL didn't have a car? What kind of mother
would give her son a guilt trip over her own failed marriage and
cause his family to lose everything? What kind of mother keeps
her son from his biological father and tells him that his father
didn't want anything to do with him, when father had been sending
birthday cards every year that he was able to find DH. DH didn't
even know that his mother's husband wasn't his dad until his biological
dad called and accidentally talked to DH when DH was 13. What kind
of mother would tie her child up to a chair and duct tape his mouth
shut? What kind of grandmother wouldn't want her 4 beautiful grandchildren
to come over for Thanksgiving, as she wanted just the adults. What
kind of mother would beg her son and family to move into her house
and help her catch up her mortgage, and then go crazy and tell them
to get the #$%%@# out. She left them homeless and out of money
because she couldn't deal with her grandchildren making noise.
What kind of grandmother would let DH's little brother taunt her
grandson until he wet himself (and then she got mad when we said
something about it). What kind of grandmother would give her tranquilizers
to grandson so that she didn't have to deal with him (GS was 3 years
old and was in the hospital for 5 days fighting for his life).

Frequent
Fry Her TM
- sonotthedrama /Posted: 13-NOV-04
I am laughing so hard about this, but really, my
MIL's attitude towards me isn't funny. Yesterday, DH answered his
cell phone and it came up unknown. He assumed that it was my friend.
As it happened, we were both in the store shopping while our DH's
waited outside. So, when DH answered his phone, he jokingly said,
"Tell my wife to get her butt outside." Instead of my
friend, it was MIL, and she said, "I wish your wife's butt
was here, so I could kick it." She then proceeded to rant
about me, because she found a mouse in her apartment. She took
the day off from work to clean her house (shocking!) and to find
out if more mice were there. She put out peanut-butter traps, but
the mice didn't eat them, because she said that grandma dropped
some cookies and they rolled into the closet and the mice have been
eating those. So, she admits that grandma spills food everywhere
for the mice to eat. MIL NEVER vacuums, but that isn't why she
has mice!!! NO, apparently the mice are there because I left the
front door open all the time and the mice must have gotten in that
way! I am LMAO because 1) I always had the front door closed
AND locked because I have a 2 year old DS who would love to run
outside at any chance he could get. Plus, I wanted a little warning
when MIL came home with her drunk BF. And 2) Yes, the mice in
this state ONLY come in through the front door! I can see it now
- they gather in the bushes waiting for someone to open the front
door so that they can dash inside and set up house. No, it couldn't
be that mice come in through the air ducts, etc., it has to be that
I left the door open. LOL! Oh, and apparently these are stealth
mice, because I've been gone for 2 weeks and this is the first time
that she's seen them. They've been hiding since I left, and just
slipped up and got spotted now. LOL. So, now my MIL is blaming
it all on me. But, maybe if she actually vacuumed and took out
the trash once in a while, she wouldn't have this problem! I was
her maid for 10 months. Now she's seeing what it's like when she
doesn't have me to clean up her and grandma's mess!

RESPONSE: I Love The Mice!!
It sounds like your MIL is lazy and doesn't want to take responsibility
for anything, so she finds it easier to blame DIL for everything.
Maybe you can forward her name and address to the show, "How
clean is your house?" so we can all see her pig sty!
RESPONSE: I Love The Mice!!
Tell DH to stop taking MIL's calls if she just wants to complain,
or she should at least to stop telling you about her most recent
delusions. You are now far away from this woman, stop thinking
about her!
RESPONSE: I Love The Mice!!
I don't blame you for laughing! Isn't it funny when they blame
you for EVERYTHING. And, the more you listen to it, the more you
realize that there is no way that it was your fault? I also don't
blame you for laughing that she no longer has you for a maid, and
is now POed about it. Keep laughing! I do!
