I'm getting married in
a few months, and my shower was a couple of weeks ago. Longgggggg
story short, after the shower everyone went back to my mom's to
look at the gifts again. I re-invited MIL, but it was casual, and
everyone was just coming - no engraved invite required. MIL ended
up saying that she felt that she wasn't invited. After we waited
2 hours for her at my mom's, I called to see if she was coming,
since she had eventually agreed. She SCREAMED at me top of her
lungs and said that she was upset, since her sister had come. She
was not invited, but we were thrilled that she came. MIL never
showed, and I broke out in tears in response to her scream and said
that today was my day, and now she had ruined it. We later talked
it out, but what about all the work that I had put into making sure
that we got along, regardless of major personality differences.
It's very awkward when we are around each other! We fake it all
right, but the wedding is coming and she hasn't said a word about
it. Not that she was ever really interested, but you would think
that she would ask how the plans are
going.

This Thanksgiving, my
FBIL decided to make jokes about a particular religion. Generally,
I have a good sense of humor about it (that is my religion). Then
he stepped over the line, making jokes about an awful period of
time for that religion that included genocide. He is only 15, so
I politely told him to stop, thinking that he may not have known
any different. FMIL responded by DEFENDING him. She told me that
I was too sensitive, and that people who couldn't laugh at jokes
are just insecure. Needless to say, DF and I left with out saying
good-bye. She had the nerve to call and yell at DF because we hurt
her feelings. I'm seriously considering not allowing her to attend
the wedding ceremony (it will follow my religion).

This happened about 22
years ago. We just moved to the west coast from overseas. DH was
in the Navy. We found an apartment and were still waiting for our
household goods to arrive. Then, my MIL, BIL and his wife came
to visit us. I was appalled at how inconsiderate they were. DS
was only 6 months old and just had a terrible cold. I was very
anxious and we are still trying to settle down in the new town.
On the day that our household goods arrived they want us to go to
a large theme park with them. I told DH that we didn't come here
for a vacation. Imagine that, I've had to deal with these intrusive,
insensitive and clueless ILs for last 22 years.
