When my baby was about 4 months old, I very politely asked my MIL to phone before she came over, even just 1/2 an hour before, to give me a chance to tidy up or whatever.  She and FIL have always just dropped in whenever it suits them, and it's always bugged the he!! out of me.  But, it bugged me especially with a little one.  I needed a little warning.  FIL rang DH the next day saying how dare I tell them what to do.  They have never had to "make an appointment" to visit anyone before, and they had no intention of starting now.  FIL told DH that they would never visit our house again.  Can you say, unreasonable?

SIL's children are 10 and 11.  They are nice little kids, and I hope they remain that way.  Every year of their lives we have bought them Easter, birthday, and Christmas presents.  We always brought them something back from holidays, as well.  DH told SIL last year that after the kids turn 10 we'll just be buying them Christmas presents.  We have 13 nieces and nephews between our two families, and we have to draw the line somewhere.  SIL cracked up about it at the time, but nothing more was said.  Our only child turned 1 this year, and there was no present from SIL.  Months later, SIL told DH that since we were no longer buying her children birthday presents, she wasn't going to buy our DD one.  I don't care if she never gives DD anything again, but it was her 1st birthday, for goodness sake.  Am I the only one who thinks that's about the pettiest, nastiest thing ever?  Later, I told her that she could shove her presents up her ***.  I probably shouldn't have done that, eh?

After DD was born I could no longer take being treated like garbage (I've been with DH for 15 years, and DD was born 16 months ago).  I wrote MIL a letter, telling her exactly why I won't visit anymore.  I reminded her of all the hateful things that she has done and said since my DD was born.  DH approved of me sending the letter, because it was all true!!  I honestly thought that FIL would read the letter and come to his senses, and maybe try and make MIL do the same.  NOPE.  FIL rang DH and told him that neither I nor our baby girl were welcome in their house.  I don't care if I am banned from their house for the rest of their lives, but how could they tell their own son that his baby DD is not allowed in their house?  Evil, nasty people.
