I'm going to put a horse
tranquilizer in an IV drip soon! DF and I lived on the west coast,
and we wanted a change. His mother invited us to move in with her
a few states away. We agreed. We were to stay in the furnished
basement until we were able to find our own place. Keep in mind
that I had never met her before, but did have a pleasant phone conversation.
As we are planning for all this, my DF informed me that his mother
had invited my FBIL along to live in the basement with us! I was
like, "No." So the situation got rectified. But, that's
just the beginning. DF and I were all excited, so after the 3 day
road trip we arrived to an empty house, except for my DF's little
sister. THEY decided going out to dinner without us would be more
important than a welcome home to her son after 4 years. Not 3 days
into living here, we found out that FMIL's new DH has O.C.D, so
all of our belongings down here had to be perfect and clean, and
we had to use separate trash cans, etc. Then FH's sister started
telling me that FMIL is trash talking. I have tattoos and piercings,
but I am incredibly nice to the family. She apparently didn't like
the way that I looked, so she told everybody that I looked like
a freak. She then went on to desecrate DF's and my promise rings.
She said that I would never get a job looking like I do (even though
I worked in the medical care giving business as a top employee of
the company). She said that I was a bad influence on the way her
son looks. That's how I met him. Every single thing that I have
said has been picked apart and used against me. She accused me
of making "snobby" comments to her and disrespecting her
brother. I have no idea what this crazy woman is talking about
because frankly, I think that the only freak in this house is her!
One more thing - I have lived here 9 days and all this happened
within the first 5. FYI - FSIL, who is 14, is now being ignored
by my FMIL because the trash talking FMIL is upset that she came
to tell us the rude things that she has been saying. Take responsibility
for your actions, FMIL.

My MIL and FIL have always
lived above their means as far as houses and cars, so my DH and
his brothers had cr@ppy clothes that were always falling apart (they
traded up with houses and cars every two or three years). Fast
forward to the present. MIL and FIL bought a nice house about a
mile away from us. I had just quit my high paying job to be a SAHM
with my son and brand new baby (who had serious health problems).
We were BROKE due to medical bills, etc. FIL and MIL called to
stop by. FIL walked in and ignored the kids. He addressed me,
"I need to talk to you." Another important fact - FIL
has more respect for me than for DH, which sickens me. He constantly
asks for my opinions and even if DH has the same ones, I am the
golden one. FIL proceeded to tell me that we could buy a HUGE house
in a RICH neighborhood if we do it together. They would finish
the basement and live there, and we could have the upstairs. We
could all afford it because there would be four of us on the mortgage.
Ha ha ha ha! I said, "NO way. We cherish our privacy."
MIL chimed in, "Oh, we would have separate entrances, etc."
She would watch the kids every day so that I could get a job again,
since we are so broke. DH was awed by the idea of owning a huge
house (remember, these are the family values that were instilled
in him). I told him to think about it for a few days. I started
thinking about it, too. I realized that MIL has just offered to
baby-sit our kids only if we lived with them. I asked DH about
how the mortgage would be split - so he called his dad. FIL said
that they would pay 30% of the mortgage, since they would only have
the basement. Okay, so I should get a huge house with a mortgage
3 times more than my current one so they could say that they own
a big house. Their payment would drop to 1/3 of what they currently
pay. DH started laughing. He didn't even know why he entertained
that thought. I was beating myself up because I thought, "Whew,
I could get a job to pay all our bills." So, instead, I am
a SAHM and bills are piling up. But, I'm so freaking happy not
to have to live with them.

My MIL is truly evil!
She manipulates with the best of them, but this latest manipulation
takes the cake! We live in rural area, about 15 minutes from the
ILs. They are a farming family. My DH told his mother that he
wanted to farm when his dad retired (he had done so in the past
for his father). My dear MIL then told her DH that my DH did NOT
want to farm. Big lie, her plan was unfolding! My MIL wanted her
precious DD's DH to farm for them. So, she asked them to do it
(they farmed also) and told them that my DH just didn't want to.
The plot thickens! We didn't speak for a while. Finally, it came
to a head. Long story short: Her lies came out. The precious
DD stood up and said that she would not do that to her brother (my
DH). However, my MIL played it all off as a big misunderstanding.
Everyone bought it. She is still hoping that we won't farm their
land. It always irritates her when I tell her that we are doing
well enough financially to afford to start farming again. It should
make her happy, but it makes her cringe and I love it. I just really
struggle being in the same room as her. I only hope that she doesn't
someday shaft our little boy this way. The best revenge for us
is being happy!
