My MIL would win "hands
down" over anybody else's, I'm sorry to say. I've been married
nearly 30 years, so there's a lot I could write about. But that'd
take too long. The one thing that's been at the root of our problems
all these years is that MIL truly believes that she was the Queen
of England TWICE. Therefore, she totally expects to be taken SERIOUSLY
as the Queen, and all the attendant "perks" that go along
with being the Queen of a country. She's REALLY irked that she
"probably" won't ever get the state funeral she "deserves"
(lol, that even sounds funny to write about). The situation that's
presently irritating me (to no end) is that over all these years,
she doesn't acknowledge MY birthday at all, but I'm supposed to
throw a royal shindig for HERS. I did go out just a few days ago
and purchase a nice gift for DH to take to his mom, but there I
drew the line. I wasn't giving any party, and I wasn't attending
one for her. DH understood. But I cannot figure out how anyone
can totally diss someone ELSE'S birthday and so totally EXPECT hers
to be a wonderful experience - at the dissed person's expense.
The same thing happens at Christmas. At 52 years old, I am TIRED
of all this. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Thanks for
giving me a forum to vent.

My MIL is a hypochondriac.
She hopes to get sick in order to get her children's, or at least
my husband's attention. If she doesn't naturally get sick, she'll
pretend. She calls EVERY DAY, and she lives less than a mile from
us. She has a 35 year old DD living with her. SIL has a new car.
But, on Saturdays she calls us, no later than 9:30 am, to have my
DH take her places for shopping and to run her errands for her,
etc. She does this while she has a useless DD living with her -
a DD who has good transportation. She questions DH to see if he
has had dinner, because she cooks his favorite dinner for him??!!
URGH!!! She even asks him what he wants for Christmas. Ohh, itsy
bitsy baby, poo poo!! If she doesn't find him at home, she calls
our cell phone, which is actually MY cell phone. When she calls
every day, she only talks about terrible stories so that she can
feel like a victim, and then my DH can feel sorry for her and show
her some attention. There is never a happy story with her. Something
always hurts in her body and she calls to tell my DH about it.
During our family vacation he has to call her every frickin' day,
too. I am about to send her "far, far away". The I'm
sick and tired of my MIL.

Worst gift: When my
DH and I married, my MIL had us over for dinner. Lamb is the only
food that I don't eat, and that was what she made (she knew this).
She presented us with our wedding present: A COMPOUND HUNTING BOW
to kill deer. DH was thrilled, and did not understand what was
wrong with this, since he would have purchased one anyway, saving
us $500. I sold the thing at a moving sale for 20 bucks (tee hee).
It never killed a single deer. I still think of this years later.
Signed - NO MORE DEAR
