MIL is a bit of a pea brain.  On my wedding day she turned to my mother and said, "I hope your daughter realizes what a good person she's getting in my son."  My mom thought that this was kind of trashy.  Another class act:  The day after DH and I brought our firstborn home, MIL visited and dumped a garbage bag full of her son's baby clothes on my bed.  Then she proceeded to tell a little story about each article.  The clothes all smelled like mothballs, and after she finally left, hours later, I had to strip everything off my bed.

Five months ago I was in the hospital awaiting the birth of my baby (I had a few pregnancy complications.  Every day for 1 week MIL would "pop" in 3x's a day.  It was never to see how I was, just to see if the baby was born yet.  Finally, after a 3 day induced labor and c-section, the baby was born.  There was MIL, waiting in the hospital hallway for directions to see baby.  Meanwhile, I was being pushed down the hall in bed, full of drugs, sleep deprived and an emotional wreck.  After that she still "popped" by many times a week.  Once, she came in when I was pumping milk into bottles.  That continued until the family and friends told her to lay off a little.  She would totally ignore me and could not care less whether or not I was around.  Now she complains to others that she has to make appointments to see the baby, and still pretends that I don't exist.

When DH and I got engaged, we threw an engagement party for our parents at our house.  We made a lovely steak dinner, complete with all the trimmings, and wonderful shrimp cocktails that my then FMIL gushed about.  She went on and on about how wonderful they tasted.  FDH said, "Yes, aren't they wonderful?  Your FDIL made them."  FMIL then changed her tune, saying that they were " Too Mayonnaisey".  Then FDH replied, "Mother, there is no mayonnaise in it."  She then added a bunch of horseradish to hers, and then left it, complaining about the taste.  When she thought that her son had made it, it was perfect.  When she found out that I had made it, it was not delicious any longer.

        Signed - Tasteful MIL
