My MIL pisses me off
every 4-5 months, like clockwork. The latest episode was when I
called her to ask her a question and she asked me when my DH was
going to receive his bonus (he is re-enlisting in the Marine Corps).
I told her that it would be sometime next month, and the EVIL B!TCH
had the nerve to say that she was entitled to a chunk of his bonus
because she raised him by herself. Don't get me wrong, if she needed
money for bills, food, etc., we would be the first ones to help
her. But, we are not a bank. Then, she insisted that her Christmas
present should be huge. I DO NOT THINK SO. We happen to be moving
from the east coast to the west coast in December, and we are trying
to save up for the move and for all the expenses of it. Both my
DH and I have birthdays in December, so money is always tight that
month. However, we always manage to get each other everything we
want. This year though we put a cap on what we would spend on birthdays
and Christmas. Little does she know that we are gonna accidentally
forget her Christmas present in the house we are leaving (evil grin).
Oh, and aside from the big gifts that she demanded, she also wants
us to pay for a plane ticket for her to come see us a month after
we move. Grrrrrr.

My poor DH has been caught
in the middle of an immature battle between my MIL and me. I wrote
my MIL an e-mail expressing my concern over the little time and
space that my DH and I have to ourselves. I should have known to
expect such an extreme, hysterical response. She even left work
early, stating that she felt sick after the horrible e-mail that
I sent. As if it isn't enough that my DH works 50 hours a week,
and I work 40 hours and attend school full-time. Excuse me for
wanting to enjoy my DH and 9 month old son without my in-laws intruding.
You would think that they could be less selfish. Apparently, my
FIL feels left out, which is why they needed to make it a point
to come over once or twice a week. Who are they to decide how often
they NEED to be over? Granted, they come over when I'm not home,
which I find disrespectful and rude. But, don't you raise your
kids so that one day they, too, may raise their own kids? I'm sick
and tired of her undermining my decision making over my child.
If I say no, she does it anyway. For example, we all went to a
barbecue. I said that my son will not be going in the pool. He
is too little, and I, myself, don't swim. Sure enough, she snatched
him (yes, snatched him) out of my hands and handed him over to her
sister, who was in the pool. It is bad enough to have her manipulating
my DH. That's fine. After all, he is her son. However, I draw
the line when she starts manipulating our marriage and our family.
It's seems as though my email was so offensive that she refuses
to speak to me. What can I do? Honestly, having my MIL not speak
to me has been by far the best few days of my life. But, it's been
he!! for my DH. So how can I mend things? Especially when my MIL
birthday is coming up? Please help?

Worst gift: When I married
my first DH, his mother didn't bother to attend the wedding, which
was held in the town where he had been raised by his grandparents
(her parents). She opted, instead, to drive to visit the week
AFTER our wedding. She did not work outside the home, and
her travel schedule was completely flexible. The first time
that I met her she said that she had a wedding gift for us.
She then went to her garage and returned with a toaster-oven, with
about a 1/2 inch of dust on it. When she presented it as our
wedding gift, she bragged that she was pleased with her purchase
because she had been able to get it at a yard sale LAST YEAR for
only $5. Um, I hadn't even met DH a year ago.
Signed - Yep, I'm Toasted,
All Right
