Worst gift: For my birthday
I received a book "Gentle Reminders to Help You Cherish the
Ones you Love". On the inside my MIL wrote "Thank
you for loving my son and for bringing my granddaughter into my
life. I have read each word in this book, and I expect you
to read them and take them to heart."

Ok, ok, I may just have
the craziest MIL ever. A little background first: My
DH is abut 7 years older than I am. Before he and I married,
he had a GF for about 6 years. MIL LOVED her, and I mean LOVED.
When he met me, MIL was out of state visiting my SIL (lucky her).
Well, from the moment MIL came back to find me in her son's arms,
she has hated me. We married and it was the worst wedding
ever, thanks to her. We had 2 miscarriages and separated after
many upsets. My MIL called me at a friend's to tell me to
"get over it" and that "they weren't real babies,
anyway", even thought I was starting the 2nd trimester in both.
She said that she knew what it was like to lose a child, and that
it doesn't even compare. Well, while separated, I found out
that I was pregnant. And yes, it was DH's. But that
didn't suit her. After a year of her telling everyone in the
free world that I was nothing, she finally warmed up to the idea
of having a GD. Although, she had 3 GSs in another state.
This would be the only girl and only GC in her state. She
now thinks that she is her mother. She is always acting so.
She is there for school interviews, sitter interviews, everything.
She has even taken my child to the doctor without me knowing until
after the fact, when she called to ask for money for the medicine.
Then we had our son. She wants nothing to do with him, and
I mean NOTHING! She will not keep him or anything. If
I have a Dr. appointment and ask her to sit for me, she tells me
that she will keep the girl, but not the boy. She even threatened
my DH. We were going on a trip to visit my SIL. MIL
asked if she could come. Now, SIL is the next best thing to
sliced bread, according to MIL. Every time she is near, she
and the MIL go to the beach, or camping, or something, and they
never ask if we would like to go. So, I told DH that I did
not want her going, but, she insisted on it. SO, she came
along, (d@rn it). Horrible. We couldn't do anything,
and when we wanted to go to the city, she threw a fit and said that
she would just go along for the ride (she has seen it all before
many times, she said). But, that was not the case. She
had her own plan and it didn't include anything that we wanted to
do. So, let's get to the point. One night we put DD
to bed downstairs in the finished basement. They were moving
chairs upstairs on a hardwood floor - they were so very loud.
DH asked them to be more quite. NOPE. He got ill at
them and told them so. The next morning MIL came downstairs
and told DH that if he ever talked to her like that again, that
she would kill him. She said that she would come at him with
everything she had and would KILL him. We ended up having
my mother pick us up from the airport and she went home with FIL.
Thank God my mom lived close. And then today I got an email
from a "friend" telling me off. So, I called her
sister and she informed me that my MIL has been running her mouth
about me, telling people that I have been saying stuff about them.
WRONG! I called MIL, and she yelled at me. She told
me how bad a mother I am, that I don't deserve my kids, and that
my DH raises them, not me. I started shaking from anger and
tossed the phone to my DH. He calmly started talking to her,
asking what was going on. She told him that I cheat on him,
and so on and so on, which I don't. She told me how bad a
mother I was and all. He started yelling at her and she said
that she would have the kids taken from us and everything.
Finally, DH said, "That's fine, you do that. But, remember
this, you will never see my kids again," and he hung up.
We haven't heard from her. I hate that it had to come to that
, but there is sooooo much more that she has done. She has
told people things about us, especially me, that aren't true.
And yeah, she's the worst gift giver. That doesn't even come
close to naming her correctly. I think she hates me because
I am not his ex-GF. I really feel that way. For one,
MIL would give her furs and real jewelry as gifts, and take her
on all expenses paid trips with her. Not once has she done
anything like that for me. She has always put me down, to
my DH, to my kids and to everyone else. I know she does this
stuff on purpose. How can she not?

Worst gift: My MIL is
the queen of all those who give horrid gifts. She has given
me used bathing suits from the thrift store, dirty and rusty dishes
from garage sales, and soiled sheet sets. She even gave my
DH and I (we are the only ones who live in our house) a case of
48 rotten caramel apples. But, what she gave me for my birthday
tops the cake. She came over to my house and said, "Since
your birthday is coming up, I decided to go out and get you something.
She handed me a pretty basket with a bar of soap and shower gel,
as well as a half-used bottle of lotion. As I looked at it,
it looked terribly familiar. Two years ago I gave her the
same exact basket, with the same exact soap and lotion in it.
It also had bath salts and a few other things. Apparently,
she used what she wanted out of it and then gave me the rest back
as a "gift".
