My MIL is so nosy.  She always gets between DH and me.  It's not only her, it's my SIL, too.  I can't stand them.  DH and I live in one apartment with my ILs, and my SIL comes and visits at least 4 times a week.  She has 2 kids, who come with her, even though she lives 6 blocks away.  FIL is so quiet.  He never says a thing.  DH sort of takes his mother's side all the time.  I never say anything to her.  I guess I just don't have the heart to.  She always want to know where we are going.  I love my DH, but I wish he could understand me.  I wish it was just DH and me living alone, without them.  One night I had trouble sleeping.  MIL and her DD were up in the living room.  They were talking loudly.  I get up early.  They don't care, because they don't work.  I told DH to tell them to stop, and he got up and told them, "Sshhhhhh, people are trying to sleep."  SIL, who has a big mouth, told him, "Oh, I'm sorry.  Are we bothering you guys?" in a sarcastic way.  The next day, SIL, who was still there, said, "Did we stop you from sleeping last night?"  I said, "Well, you guys were kind of loud."  MIL then said, "What about all the times when you guys kept us up?" which never happens.  I felt like cursing her out, but I dropped it.  DH was upset with me the whole day.  He said, "I can't believe you made me tell them to be quiet last night."  He just doesn't understand my feelings.  Come on, was I really wrong???  A word of advice from someone with experience - never live with your ILs.  I don't care how nice they are.

        Signed - Never Live With Your ILs

FIL and SMIL visited in June, and she seemed continuously more annoyed with me as the visit went on.  When I went to kiss her good-bye, she turned her head.  Days after they left I opened my address book to see that she had crossed off her cell phone number and her son's home phone number with a big, black, permanent magic marker.  I was so mad.  About a week later I called and railed her about it.  I said that it was rude, nervy, and immature.  Now both of them are mad me.  They never call anymore.  When DH talked to his father about the situation, he justified her actions.  He said that they don't like me and they don't get me, and, I make them feel uncomfortable.  I feel that he is adding insult to injury by blaming me, instead of acknowledging her bad behavior.  Luckily they live on the other side of the country, and DH is on my side.  He understands that I will not permit her to see our children until I receive a sincere apology.

        Signed - Disrespected

My FIL, also known to me as "the troll", called me again the other night to give me cr@p.  It seems that he didn't like the fact that I was resting on my night off.  It was a Wednesday, and I had already worked 40 hours this week.  My MIL has resorted to using him to give me her insults now.  I love my DH.  He is very kind, a little too kind.  If he doesn't encourage them to leave me alone, I will give him back to them and live my life happily ever after with my children in the sunny south.  Hugs and kisses.

        Signed - DH Is A Little Too Kind
