I'm so frustrated with my MIL.  I'm starting to think that she is crazy.  When DH and I announced that we were getting engaged, she was far from happy, being that I already had a DD from a previous relationship.  Anyway, she spoke her piece and DH and I thought that was it.  WRONG!  This woman tried to stand in the way of my way.  She complained about everything: the church, the flowers, the music, the rehearsal dinner (THAT SHE BACKED OUT OF AT THE LAST MINUTE), everything.  Her main complaints stemmed from the fact that she is against the church that I had chosen (my family church).  On the day of the wedding she wouldn't walk down the aisle as the mother of the groom.  She sat with her family and sulked in the pews until the reception.  At the reception they wolfed down all the food.  She took 2 pictures, one included me, one did not.  Ever since that day, she has made my life he!!.  All she does is try to control us.  She brings up our "stupid wedding" constantly, and says that it was a waste of time.  She even has the nerve to trash me to DH about how bad of a housekeeper, mother, and wife that I am.  Did I mention that I a work full time, and my husband was laid off almost 2 months ago???  Much to our surprise, we found out that I am 6 weeks pregnant, and we are very happy.  My family accepted it, but she and her clan have not.  She has refused to be happy.  She had the audacity to call DH and tell him what a mistake we were making, how horrible a person I was, and how this was just another mistake in his long list of goof-ups in his life.  Then, she proceeded to list his many mistakes.  DH stood up for himself and me for the first time in a year and a half of her trashing us.  He hung up in her face, only to have my FIL call back to say how DH should apologize to his mother for the disrespect.  DH said, "No," and that he was not apologizing, when she was purposely trying to hurt him and his family.  His father then proceeded to complain that they are tired of seeing him screw up his life, and that they are just trying to help him.  To make the long story shorter, DH hasn't spoken to his family in a week (they used to speak every day).  I don't want things to be like this, but I'm tired of this woman claiming to be religious, and then trashing me and my family.

Worst gift:  MIL will go to the dollar store and buy things for Christmas, just for me!!  Or, I get whatever craft project she decided wasn't going to sell.  Two years ago, she made me a nightgown and matching cap, in battleship gray.  She also calls me (the name of my DH's ex).  The last time she did this, I said no thank you (her ex's new wife).  They go on these HUGE shopping spree's.  I never get an invite.  The worst thing that she did was giving us her old computer, and not deleting everything on it.  I was so hurt by the things that she had on there about me.  I got rid of them before DH.  He gets caught in the middle enough as it is.  My kids get the shaft over her other GC, and I (duh) named my DD after her.  I wonder if there is a special place in heaven for DILs??

Worst gift:  My Worst gift from my MIL came last Christmas.  It was a beautiful package, wrapped nicely with a bow.  I was excited that she finally included me.  I unwrapped it, and it was an empty box.  She then said that I could keep the box as my gift.  Uuuumm.  OK.

        Signed - Thanks For The Box, Am I Packing, Or Something???
