I think I've got you
all beat! I was 33 when I met a 35 year old widower. He had lost
wife and two school age children in car accident. This was 18 years
ago. From that day my MIL has punished me. She wore black to my
wedding - my colors were peach and white. She claimed that I slept
with my husband prior to the accident, so she treated me very badly
because she convinced herself that I was a slut. She befriended
my DH's old in-laws, whom she couldn't stand before. She proceeded
to have them around all the time, until she realized that it didn't
bother me. She told me not to believe the ultrasound when I was
pregnant, as she said that they are usually wrong. She she said
that I was "not having a boy". She gave me a birthday
cup that had my sign on it, Cancer, it said, "wicked witch,
scrooge, no wonder you're always crabby born in the dog days of
summer". My 6 year old even cried when she read this, and
said, "I'm sorry Mommy." The woman is bitter and angry,
and I have not done one thing to make her that way. We paid all
their living expenses for 5 years, took them on lavish ski vacations,
and paid for beach vacations for them and their friends, and she
STILL treats me and my two DDs like we don't exist, or she just
wishes that we would go away or die. It is really sad after 18
years.

I have 3 kids from a
previous marriage. DH is a wonderful man and he treats my children
as his own. I never realized what a freak show of a family he had
until I had already fallen in love. HOLY COW! My life has turned
into a never-ending episode of "Everybody Loves Raymond",
only not as funny! MIL had 2 children, my DH and SIL. She spoiled
her kids to no end. She would come over and wipe my DH's butt if
he asked her to (NO KIDDING). My DH grew up in a two-family home.
His GPs (MIL's parents) lived on the second floor. DH was very
close to them. His GF died when he was 12 and his GM passed away
a few years ago. Somehow, my DH turned out relatively normal and
self-sufficient. Believe it or not (no matter how spoiled he was),
he cooks and cleans! SIL does neither! SIL and MIL could easily
be the same person. They do not have a brain independent of one
another. In fact, SIL does not have an opinion until she checks
with MIL first! SIL was very overprotected and sheltered. Get
this, MIL does SIL's hair and makeup every day! SIL is 28 years
old! MIL actually does not encourage SIL to do anything for herself.
She likes to pretend that she's a martyr for doing so much. The
reality of the matter is that she has no life outside of living
vicariously through her DD! She has said many times that she never
loved my FIL. She married him because he would be a good husband!
She says this in front of her children! MIL never encouraged SIL
to go to college. She always had plans for her to marry and be
a housewife, like herself. The only problem was that MIL never
wanted SIL to date anyone whom MIL didn't know. MIL never liked
her going out because she worried when she was out. Even at 25,
if SIL went out, MIL would lie in bed with her clothes on waiting
up. She would not listen to the radio or watch TV. This is because
my MIL's theory is if you didn't hear that your loved one had been
killed on the 6 o'clock news, it didn't happen. PSYCHO! SIL is
extremely insecure and was always afraid to go out with intelligent
men for fear that she couldn't hold her end of the conversation.
Of course, she never cared enough to try to learn a little bit about
what's going on in the world to actually be able to hold a conversation.
At any rate, she ended up latching onto this LOSER whom she knew
since 8th grade. You see, MIL never wanted her to go out with a
stranger, right? Of course, this guy is a pot-head, has a DD from
another relationship, and is not exactly the father-of-the year.
SIL likes him because he's stupid. Yes, you read that right. She
feels superior to him and she likes it that way. About a year into
the relationship the guy moved in with them. My SIL was still living
at home. FIL pitches a fit, but, because he is a pushover MIL got
her way. If he lives with them, SIL doesn't have to leave MIL.
Fast forward 4 years. SIL's biological clock is ticking. Now,
through the years she's cheated on her BF several times (usually
with her ex BF). However, she saw her friends (I use the term loosely,
as she really doesn't have any close friends) getting married and
having babies. She wanted that, too. So, she was ready to settle
for Senor Stupido and get married. MIL couldn't have been happier
because SIL didn't want to move out after the wedding. They used
money as an excuse, but it wasn't true. SIL and BIL work, and FIL
had $20K to give them whenever they're ready to make a down payment
on a house. Now, granted, in this area of the country $20K is not
a big down payment. However, it's more than a lot of people have.
Again, MIL didn't encourage SIL to move out. WHY? Because she
had no life outside of living vicariously through her DD! So, MIL
and SIL commanded that it was time for her to get married. SIL
is far too good to have just any old ring. So, FIL actually paid
for the ring (which is over a carat)!!! Of course, MIL had to come
along and pick out the ring. Isn't that romantic? We planned the
wedding of the century (at least, that's what they thought)! MIL
and SIL were obsessed with the wedding and the shower plans. It
was quite sickening. SIL didn't even want to go on a honeymoon.
This is mostly because her mother would have had a heart attack
if her baby actually went more than 3 miles away from her! God
forbid she got on a plane! MIL would die! So, they ended up driving
a couple of hours away for two days. They didn't even stay in a
hotel on their wedding night. They went back to MIL's house! They
didn't go on their honeymoon until 2 days after the wedding. Two
months later, guess who's pregnant? That's right. SIL! MIL was
incredibly thrilled. FIL had been encouraging SIL to look at houses
all along. MIL gave them the look of death and told him to stop.
Poor lil SIL. She can't afford a house. She doesn't want to move
now. She'll need help with the baby! WTF? Is it me? Are they
normal? SIL said to me, "I don't care what anyone thinks.
I don't want to wait for a baby." Well, nice of you to consider
the unborn child! PLEASE! So, I can see it now. MIL will be fitting
in feeding the baby with doing SIL's hair, makeup, laundry and all
the cooking and cleaning. Now, she doesn't let SIL do anything
for herself. She likes to act as though she's not capable. She
doesn't want SIL to be capable of taking care of herself. If she
could do that, she wouldn't need MIL any longer. MIL doesn't want
her to leave. WHY (everyone say it with me)? Because she has no
life outside of living vicariously through her DD!!! They are totally
sick!!! I'll fill you in on how they make my life a living he!!
later.

Worst gift: One year
for Christmas my MIL gave me a full ski outfit (accessories and
all), and a sewing basket full of "amenities". I don't
ski or sew! I've never even been skiing!
