Worst gift: My Christmas
present last year from ILs was an ugly wall calendar on which
my MIL had marked all of my DH's families birthdays, anniversaries,
family get-togethers, etc. We bought MIL diamond earrings,
and the FIL a palm pilot. They bought my DH a nice sweater
and hobby book. Twelve nieces and nephews all got Christmas
presents, as they always do. I have never forgotten a birthday
for one of the kids. Between our two families, we spend
about $5,000 for Christmas presents (on credit, of course, paying
back all year). Guess who pays the bill??? Me, I pay
it. I told my DH that his mother is a "B".
Now he is mad at me. She ruins every occasion with her nonstop
mouth, always insulting or embarrassing one of us in-laws, never
her own children. They are treated well, and do not stick
up for us. I am the only IL who got a present. The
rest were told that she donated $30 for them to her friend, who
needed the money for Christmas. Is this not rude?
She is stupid, mean, heartless and a rude pig. The bad thing
is that any time any characteristic of my MIL comes out in my
DH, I get so angry at him. That is why I called his mother
a "B". I said, "Quit acting like your mother.
She is a "B", and I cannot stand to be with a man who
acts like an ignorant "B"." Now we are fighting
all the time. We will probably get divorced because his
mother is a pig and he can't help but act like her on occasion,
because he has been so brainwashed. The thing is that he
is embarrassed by his mother, and he really does not like her.
So, what gives!!!?

Worst gift: For my birthday
this year, my MIL gave me a shaving bag with men's cologne. You
know, the free gift that you get with another purchase! I keep
thinking, "Well, maybe she didn't know that it was men's cologne."
But, then I thought, "What a cheap b!tch," because it
was free. I wonder what the gifts will be for Christmas! She loves
to steal ideas. For example, I had mentioned that I'd like to get
my kids a sled. The very next day, she called and acted as if she
had thought of it (a sled) herself.

This is my first time
encountering this wonderful site, after looking for a site where
I can find other women like me. I, too, cannot take it anymore
and I need advice from everyone out there. My MIL is the kind
who acts very nice to me. She acts like she likes me, and
she does nice things for me. I believe that she is sincere.
Also, I just had my first baby who, by the way, is the first grandbaby
on both sides of our families. My problem with this woman
is that she has repeatedly run over us in her sneaky damn ways about
things. For instance, she got my DH to give her permission
to allow her to claim him on her taxes for the past two years when
he wasn't even living with her. In the labor room (where there
are only two visitors welcome at a time) she refused to get out
when my DH and mother were there. She asked my DH what he
wanted for Father's Day. He said, "We can use some new
brakes on the car." She said ok, she would do it the
next week. And, of course, she was nowhere to be found that
week. We live about 30 minutes away, and after I had my DD,
she was calling every other day, wanting to come over to my house.
And, when she did come over, it wasn't ever just her. Oh no,
she had to bring GM, DD, DS, aunt, uncles, cousins. Then,
she expected me to feed all these people, when she knows that we
are tight on money! Just recently, we asked to borrow 2 hundred
dollars for our rent, which we WILL pay back ASAP. First,
she said that she didn't know, and that she would call on Friday
and let us know. Saturday came and she said that she would
loan us 100, my DH's brother would loan us the other 100.
Great! I didn't ask to borrow money from him. He's only
20. Later that day, she told my DH that we probably wouldn't
pay her back, and that it's OK, and we should not worry about it.
We should just remember to do her a favor if she ever asks.
Later that evening (after we had to run out of their house because
our DD was crying hysterically in her arms and she could not calm
her down) she called to see how our baby was doing (she was perfectly
happy as soon as we got into the car) and she asked my DH whether
she could use our address as her own for her insurance payment.
This lady is using a friend's address to get license plates in because
it is cheaper there, and now she wants to use our address to get
insurance (in our county) because it is cheaper than hers.
He told her that we had to talk it over. When I went to get
the mail, 5 minutes later, we had 2 pieces of mail with her name
on them in our damn mailbox. My DH called her, and he was
furious. Would you believe that she had the nerve to deny
the whole thing, saying that it must be a coincidence. She
has never had anything delivered to our address before, and she
wants me to believe that it's a mistake? She got defensive
and told my DH to call her back when he is ready to apologize.
Five minutes later, my DH really didn't care about it anymore, but
I sure did. We had plans to go out to eat, the next day, for
his sister's birthday. I didn't want to hurt her feelings,
so we went. And, of course, the b!tch acted like nothing was
wrong. Two days later, she was hounding me again, wanting
to bring GM over to see the baby. I have been avoiding her,
because I do not want to give her a piece of my mind. She
finally caught me today. She wanted to know if she could come
over on Friday. I told her that DH and I are going to go over
there on Friday. She kept on insisting that she come over
here, saying that we could go out for lunch, dinner, or ice cream,
and isn't it too far of a drive for us. A bunch of BS.
I said, "No." I would really rather go over there.
This way I could leave whenever I wanted. What am I supposed
to do about this woman? It's hard to really give it to her
when she plays dumb, like everything is OK, and acts all nice.
But, I wouldn't mind if DD and I didn't see her at all. My
DH is always on my side, but every once in awhile he says that his
mom needs to see our baby, too. How do I go about keeping
this woman as far away a possible, yet still allowing our DD to
see her??

I don't think MIL "needs" to see DD; there's a difference
between "need" and "greed". You don't need
MIL, DH doesn't need MIL, DD certainly doesn't need MIL, so why
bother? Take a little time out of your schedule to print up a sheet
or two of small "return to sender" labels, preferably
in red. Use as necessary.

We moved, and have always lived at least 1,000 miles away. It's
great, we take the kids (now adults) to the "home town"
once a year so that both sides of the family can visit with all
of us at the same time. We have already made the plans for this
for next summer. You are in a tough spot if you can't move. Please
get DH's support.

I find it interesting that when you need money, you have no problem
dealing with MIL. But, when you don't need money, you think that
she is a b!tch. You sound like a user to me.
RESPONSE: Wouldn't Mind If DD And I Didn't See Her
At All
Why don't you keep your DD away from her? If DH finds his spine,
he can tell MIL no. Until then, it is your job.
RESPONSE: Wouldn't Mind If DD And I Didn't See Her
At All
You are short on money, and your DH is allowing his mommy to claim
the child that you gave birth to and financially support on HER
taxes. He is not on your side.
RESPONSE: Wouldn't Mind If DD And I Didn't See Her
At All
This woman wants to commit tax fraud AND insurance fraud with your
help. For your own protection you need to distance yourself from
her, and not get entangled in her criminal behavior. This means
NEVER borrowing money from her, or she will hold it over your head
forever.
