My lovely SIL rang up to see how my DH (her brother) was.  He was in the hospital with 2 kidney stones, a very painful illness.  She asked about 100 questions in her usual nazi interrogator way (none of which are her own business), and then she said, "Why does he have a kidney stone?  Who gets kidney stones?  I've never had one, have you?"  Like he's inferior for getting one.  She then said, "He's having a rough time, first his appendix, now this kidney stone."  He had his appendix out 20 years ago.  She then went on, "I've never had my appendix out, have you?"  I told her that I'd had mine out, and she then said, "Well, your children have absolutely no hope with both parents having their appendix out.  They have no hope at all."  At this stage I told her that she was out of line and rude.  I was very upset.  Who does she think she is making fun of a sick person in the hospital, and then attacking my children?!!!  I would never make fun of a sick person, or a child, yet she seems to think that it's ok.  Need I say that she is a carbon copy of her mother - my lovely MIL.  This was the final straw.  I have now decided to "divorce" them, and my DH agrees.  He rang her to tell her that she can't criticize him or my children.  She said (to him) that she was sorry.  I am still waiting for my apology!

This is about my DH's cousin.  He used to visit us, but one weekend he informed us that he paid a dating service to match him up with the most "PERSONAL LEVEL" person to himself.  He found someone who moved in with him right away.  I think that they only knew each other for one week.  His "new found love" called me up out of the blue, after about 9 months of us not seeing him.  She asked for my DH, as if they were on a personal level.  She wanted to meet us for dinner.  For as long as I have known DH's cousin, the custom was that whomever invites, pays the tab.  Long story short - she took us to a place that had no prices on the menu.  The bill came to $80.  I don't make the money that he makes, and I know that she doesn't make that money, either, but she was very informative about every dish.  After putting up with her feeding him and other "awkward" moments in front of my husband and 18 month old DD, we paid the bill and dropped them off.  The cousin stayed in the car for a brief moment.  DH told him that she seemed like a nice girl.  He responded basically, "I DON'T VALUE YOUR OPINION.  I WOULD STILL DATE HER NO MATTER WHAT."  Well, we let that slide.  That's when I remembered that he had stated his opinion that women look for money and power.  The problem continues.  We didn't talk to him again after hearing other stories of this "Power Hungry Woman".  They headed up for a vacation and saw more of family and friends.  Again, long story short, they got into the lake and she removed her bathing suit in front of his friends (not to mention the public got the frontal view of her chubby body).  They later stayed in the cabin and had a huge fight, and then LOUD make up sex.  Now we are informed that they are to be married, while no one likes her, and this includes his parents.  I have only met her once, unfortunately, and don't know what to do when we come across them or get invited to the wedding

Worst gift:  DH opened up Christmas gifts from his 2 sisters and parents.  Lovely outfits, shoes (that alone cost over $300 - they were quick to point out).  Everything under the sun.  Then, my turn came.  I was handed one small bag from "everyone"- a candle from an odd lots store, with a 1/2 price sticker still over the 75 cent price tag.  There was some other piece of junk in there, too, but I'm concentrating on the nicer of the 2 gifts!!!!!!

        Signed - It Was From Everyone
