When I went for my last
annual visit to MIL's house, she made me do clerical work for her
the entire two weeks that we were there. She has her own business,
sort of, so I didn't mind helping out. But, DH didn't have to do
anything but loaf around the whole time. I, however, was instructed
to make labels for mailings, file, and type up stuff for her, as
well as help her out around the house. I don't really understand
it. DH is usually the most wonderful, helpful guy in the world,
but when he goes to mommy's, he turns back into a three year old.
I guess I should just suck it up and deal, as I only have to see
her once a year. But, it's so darn frustrating!

Well, MIL, who always
made pasta with tomato sauce or beans and pasta every Saturday for
several years, suddenly started roasting enormous pieces of meat
as soon as I said that I was trying to cut down on meat! Can you
believe it? She even looked at my DH and said that he looked so
pale and underfed. Poor thing! B!TCH!

Worst gift: My worst
MIL gift has to be the "Latkes, Latkes, Good to Eat" book
that she gave me for last Hanukkah. Yes, I was in the process of
converting to Judaism, but, A) I am not a child, nor am I a half-wit.
So, I have no idea why she would get me a picture book meant for
five- and six-year-olds. B) I may not be Jewish by birth, but I'm
not completely clueless. I know what latkes are, and I've celebrated
Hanukkah with friends before. I'm from a very large west coast
city, for Pete's sake. You can't grow up here and escape exposure
to Judaism in some form or other. C) The latke book was about a
woman COOKING latkes. I don't cook - I know how, I just don't enjoy
the labor. MIL knows this. In fact, she frequently comments about
how much money DH and I waste going out to eat, and tells me that
we (meaning ME, the girl) should cook at home instead. Grr.
Signed - Frustrated DIL
