I can relate to many of you when it comes to your MIL.  My DH and I have totally put her out of our lives.  We are much happier without the drama.  We are an extended family.  He has two children and I have three from previous marriages.  To MIL I was the best thing that ever happened to DH, this is, until I married him.  MIL buys for her grandchildren and not mine.  Of course, they used to have hurt feelings over it, and now they just go with the flow.  MIL is so mean to everyone.  I think that she has a mental illness, or something.  Nothing is ever her fault, of course.  She has managed to keep one of her four children away since the DD was 16.  She married all of her girls off at the age of 15. YEH, they were kids.  Now, none of her children want anything to do with her.  She is spiteful and greedy.  MIL just sold a home that her own DD lives in with her 9 children.  She and her DH have nowhere to go, and 60 days to get out.  Even though they had an approval for a loan themselves to get the house, MIL sold it to a contractor to get the money sooner.  Go figure!  Tell me that this is not mean.  DFIL is so miserable because none of his children go over there to visit.  He doesn't get to see any of his GC anymore because none of us have anything to do with MIL, and he is afraid to visit us because she will find out and give him he!! for it.  He is such a sweet man.  They have one son, my DH.  MIL cries all the time because he has nothing to do with her.  But, she does nothing to undo the damage that she has done.  She doesn't understand that he has three more children whom he takes care of as his own.  It hurts both of us that she talks about my children and me consistently to family members.  Luckily, they all know how she is.  They know me, and they know that it's hogwash.  I just don't understand people.  I have an 18 year old son, and I have never treated any of his GFs indifferently.  I don't think that I ever could.  At least I know one thing, those of us who are mistreated by our MILs have learned what not to do with our own children's wives and husbands.  I could never be cruel to them, or to any stepchildren that may come along.  Am I right, or what?

My MIL can't seem to keep her nose out of our bedroom.  We lived together before we got married, and at a family Thanksgiving dinner she had to change the subject to ask her DD what type of birth control she used.  Now, this might be a subject for a mother to discuss with her college age DD, but the Thanksgiving dinner table does not seem to be the right place.  Since then, she has asked me some very personal information about the first time DW and I had sex.  I did not respond, and just said that our life was private.  The day after we were married, while we were on the way to the airport, she called us to ask if we had done it.  Same story - none of her business!!!  When we mentioned that we were going on a trip to the beach, she had to pipe in and tell us that we could go anywhere to "do it", and she said that we did not need to spend money traveling.  Since there were a few other family members present, I had to tell her that although we had been together for 4 years, we have never had sex, and that her daughter was still a virgin.  Therefore, her questions and comments were not relevant, and she could stop asking.  Everyone burst out laughing at her.  She got steamed and stomped out of the house.  At first, my wife did not like the fact that I had embarrassed her mother like that, but then she realized that this was nothing compared to all the times that her mother has done it to us.  If she does not take the cue, I think that next time I'll start to detail everything, and contrive the most unbelievable stories (and not stop).  If this is what she wants, I'll give her a story that reads like a porn movie script.  It will be neat to see how thick I can lay it on before she figures out that the joke is on her.

MIL is a hateful old witch.  But, she's also just plain crazy.  One Christmas, DH and I bought her a beautiful, very expensive (but on sale) cat figurine.  She collects anything to do with cats (don't witches use cats as familiars? LMAO).  When she opened it, she said, "What the he!! is it?"  DH said, "Obviously, it's a cat."  She said, "Whatever it is, it's ugly.  You know I don't like things like this.  I'm going to have to exchange it.  Where did you buy it?"  DH and I didn't make a fuss.  She was drunk and just out to start a fight.  The crazy part is that two weeks later we visited her and she had bought DOZENS of the same cat figurines - no joke.  She bought every single one in the collection, and keeps them scattered around her house.  It's scary - all these cat ninja's, cat clowns, cat doctors and nurses just staring at you.  Obviously, when she found out how expensive they are normally, and how cheap they were on sale, she had to buy the lot to impress her friends.  I told you that she was crazy.
