frequent fry her - IDrinkaRumcosIneedit Frequent Fry Her TM - IDrinkaRumcosIneedit/Posted: 17-JAN-06
We celebrated our DD's 2nd birthday during the summer.  We invited family and friends.  Because of the other children at the party, my DD was running around like a normal 2 year old.  MIL was out on the deck with DH helping him cook.  She never looked at my DD.  When her 2 other grandkids showed up, she completely ignored my DD in favor of these 2 brats!

( I want my own Frequent Fry Her TM Page )

This is the perfect site for me right now!!!  Where do I begin???  BF and I live together.  We actually rent the house from guess who?  I know, mistake #1!  Anyway.  FMIL asked me, a month ago or so, what I was going to get my BF for his birthday.  I told her, "a (brand name) grill (mistake!!!!).  She so kindly asked if she and her DH could go in on it with me.  I, being so kind, said, "Sure," (another..mistake!!!).  After spilling the beans to him about his grill, she then said that they would like to get him the "next model up" from the one that I had picked out for him.  I got mad.  I felt like the grill that I had been saving months and months for, well, wasn't good enough.  They backed down.    They said that they weren't going to go in on it with me, that they would do something else for him.  Two days before I was to go pick up the grill, FMIL was at a store purchasing a different grill (not the one that HE wanted).  She had the nerve to call me and leave me a message, saying that she was making an "executive decision" and getting him the grill.  Thanks.  Thanks a lot.  I felt like my whole plan of the GF getting her BF the perfect gift was taken away.  On to other things that bother me.  BF had hurt his back.  FMIL came over and gave him some bogus magnet stuff that was supposed to "energy" heal him.  Pffffft!  She advised he come over to have her work on his back.  OK.  He is not a child.  He is 30.  I chimed in with, "Honey, I got your icepack in the freezer, and some anti-inflammatories in the medicine cabinet."  She didn't like the sounds of that at all.  Finally (well, not finally, but ---), the temp in our house is ALWAYS set at 72 degrees.  A constant, normal temperature.  We have come home 3 times and found that the thermostat had been moved UP to 78 degrees.  Huh????  I said, "Your mom is doing it (she has a key to the house - she is doing some work there - packing up the junk that she is "selling", which has been in that house for 50 years!!!)."  So, he asked her last night, "Are you moving the thermostat?"  She said, "Yes, I was cold."  GET OUT OF OUR HOUSE, LADY!!!!!!!!!!  Do I come into her house and do that?  NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Does she pay our bills?  NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!  After she replied, "Yes," she asked if that was ok.  BF said, "Yeh, don't worry about it."  I said, "Tell her that it's not OK!"  HE DID!  He stood up to her!!!!!!!!!!  This is a first.  He later went over to her house and asked, "Is she mad at me?"  Oh, dear god.  He says that she has always been this way (wanting to always take care of him and stuff - and she is not going to change).  I ask all of you, does this mean that when I marry him, I am marrying her, too?  I could go on and on.  I think she is jealous because I am taking care of him now, and he doesn't depend on her, like before.  Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My MIL had a dream that Australia was going to be destroyed by an earthquake/tidal wave.  So, she convinced her DH to quit his job, sell their home, and blow their life savings traveling to Australia to warn people so they could get "saved" before the devastation.  This happened when my DH was 14 years old, and it ruined his life.  He had to move from the home he loved.  When they came back, they were broke and had to live off credit cards until his dad found a job a gain, which took 9 months.  This was 17 years ago, and she still believes that it will happen one day.
