Frequent
Fry Her TM
- CrazyWoman/Posted: 20-FEB-06
MIL has got to be the rudest person ever. Our
oldest spent the night a couple of weeks ago. We were changing
sitters for our oldest because he starts school and he needed a
ride. The sitter is a mutual friend of ours. I mentioned
to her that I would be taking our son over there for a while on
Saturday when I picked him up from her house. I needed to
go over some things with her, and see how he got along with her
son. I didn't foresee any problems, but I just needed to check
things out. When I went to pick him up and leave our youngest
(due to her playing favorites, she cannot have them at the same
time, the oldest gets ignored), I told our oldest to get ready,
as we need to get going so we could go to the sitter's house.
MIL said, "Oh, I already took care of that for you. We
went over there yesterday for a few hours." WHAT!!?
Did I ask her to do that? She and my son were supposed to
be spending quality time together, not going over to a friend's
house and letting him play while she chatted. Besides, I needed
to go over there because I needed to see how things were going,
and had to talk to her about things. I would not have been
so upset, but for the fact this is so not the first time she has
done stuff like this. Almost every time I mention that we
are going to do something special with the boys, she does it before
I get a chance. It is very irritating. There are things
that I want to experience with my kids first. I AM THE MOM!
So, DH has decided to keep her in the dark. There is no controlling
the woman. He said that from now on, when there is something
that we want to do with the boys, we just don't tell her until after
we do it. Sounds good to me. The less communication
I have with her, the better. Oh yeah, when I went to pick
the oldest up, my wonderful FIL (who has made a complete turnaround,
he now plays with both the boys equally and talks to me) was joking
and talking to me. MIL, on the other hand, said two things
to me, then she just kept saying to our oldest, "Tell your
mom 'this', and tell your mom 'that'." Very rude.

Done

MIL keeps telling everybody
that my DH gained a lot of weight since he married me, and that
it happened because my cooking habits are so crazy and UNHEALTHY.
My favorite foods are steamed meals, stir-fries, and crudities,
and I have been vegetarian for years. I fill my supermarket
cart with veggies, fruits, and legumes, and I snack on dried fruits
- seeds and nuts. I never consume caffeine (tea or coffee),
and I probably drink one soda can every year or so. No alcohol
- no smoking. I always have homemade juices and smoothies
for DH and the kids, and I eat whole grain bread, rice and pasta.
I try to buy organic stuff whenever I can. I have maintained
my high school weight, despite 2 pregnancies (one with complications)
and a very stressful life style. And, by the way, my weight
is the towards the minimum weight in the average zone. I am
size 6. I exercise at least 20 minutes, 3 times a week.
So, imagine my shock when I heard people quoting what she accused
me of, while knowing HER dietary habits. Bingo: What
are the favorite dishes of my MIL? They include gratin's -
béchamel covered oven dishes with loads and loads of cheese
and cream and eggs, hot-dogs, half and half, and double cream and
butter. She loves all creamy dishes, such as chicken a la
king, etc. She loves everything deep fried and breaded, and
oozing of fat. She uses lard and pure butter in cooking.
For snacks, she takes tiramisu and all sorts of cakes with pure
butter icing (that is no joke) and she consumes 8 (yes eight) cups
of coffee daily. This is in addition to 3 (yep, three) packets
of cigarettes every single day. She (alone) once finished
one stick of butter when she was staying over my house for 2 days,
and she did that in two breakfast meals!! She eats bullied
beef from the can. She keeps meat and chicken out of the fridge,
on the kitchen table overnight, to eat it with her husband the day
after. She drinks a whole bottle of whisky with her DH over
the weekend - with frequent cans of beer now and then. She
is 66, diabetic, with heart problems and operations, and she and
her husband are seriously overweight. Open their fridge if
you ever drop by and you will see wonders. She buys whipping
cream in retail-store sizes (the pumps) and pumps it onto her coffee
mug - ice cream - cupcakes and waffles. She always keeps a
platter of full fat cheeses and heavy duty pates on the shelves
of the fridge. She eats red meat at least 7 times a week because
she eats meat for lunch AND dinner every day. One of the meals
of the day has to include red meat. She treats herself with
cream filled cookies, chips, chocolate chip cookies, candy bars,
and premium quality ice cream with cream AND chocolate syrup AND
nuts AND jimmies. When I saw it with my own eyes, I could
not believe it!!! What shall I say more than that? DH
told me that he has never seen his mother peel a carrot or chop
an onion in his life. She never prepares food from scratch,
but basically depends on ready meals (canned and frozen) and food
sauces from sachets and jars. And, by the way, DH, with my
"crazy" diet, has lost 20 pounds in 5 years of marriage.
He is a happier person and is much more self confident and positive.

I have 3 children.
I am 24, and my DH is 25. The kids are 6, 4, and 2.
For my DH's last birthday he received a bouncy seat for a baby.
Now, my kids were all way too big for this, so DH asked why they
got it for him. They said, "Oh, we figured you would
want it for the next time you knocked her up." Yes, they
call me "hey you", and refer to me as "her".
It's a great situation!
