My MIL isn't coming back!!!
I'm SOOOOO happy! I posted here years ago when she first came to
live with us. That only lasted a couple of months, as we just couldn't
get along. Each of us felt that we needed our own space! So, we
got her an apartment. She stayed there for two years, but guess
what? WE paid for everything, and she still wasn't happy! The
day after we closed on our new house she up and told my DH that
he had to buy her a new $600 bed. Apparently, the one that we gave
her wasn't good enough. Then, it was story after story, usually
told to other people (instead of confronting us when she had complaints).
The bad thing was that they were mostly lies, or embellished stories.
She even lied about my DH, HER OWN SON! She said that he stole
from her, that he never visited her, etc., etc. It was the exact
opposite. She even claimed that we only gave her $75 a month.
OMG, who can live here in the United States for $75 a month???
In the course of the two years that she lived here, she was able
to accumulate 30 pairs of shoes, 7 coats (DH, the kids and I have
only 2 coats each - one for fall and one for winter), and an unbelievable
amount of clothes. Need I say who gave her the money to buy all
of that stuff? My DH really spoiled her, and she's one ungrateful
pain-in-the-you-know-what. Even now she badmouths him, and he was
nothing but a wonderful son to her. There were several times when
he was tired from work and she still asked him to take her shopping.
The nerve! I'm just soooo glad that DH finally put his foot down
when she went home. She's not coming back!!! But, like they say,
all good things come to those who wait. I'm just happy that we're
back to normal now.

My MIL worked for my
family business for over 20 years. Many little things irritated
me during that time. She was the only one who was not in our family
that we trusted to run the cash register. Needless to say, it was
misplaced trust. We put in some security cameras to catch a thief.
Little did we know the thief would turn out to be my MIL taking
cash out of the register every day. She got away with it for so
long because she wouldn't ring the sale up, or would ring a refund
in after a sale. Then she would pocket the money.

What a relief to find
people who share my pain! My first fight with my MIL was because
I got upset with her calling me the 'B' word, even though she claimed
to be joking afterwards. She gets upset and complains to my DH
when I spend a day with my own mother instead of her, and tells
him that I'm a spoiled brat. She takes things that I say offhandedly
and turns them against me. In the past few days she has had a fit
and spoken to my DH because I am not helping her fix her house up
enough. She says that she plans to sell it and give us part of
the money to buy our own house, so she is holding it over our heads
right now and making our lives he!!. She can't tell me to my face
when she has a problem with me. Instead, she continues to complain
to DH, who is stuck in the middle!
Signed - Hoping She Dies
Soon, But Probably Won't
