I can't help but wonder,
"Where are all the good MILS?" I've been married for
over 2 decades now. MIL is kind of self-centered, attention-seeking
and controlling. You know her type. Her cooking is the best, etc.,
etc. It was pretty tolerable, since we live 4 hours away from them.
Over the years I have developed a pretty decent relationship with
her (by most standards). A year ago she was diagnosed with a curable
type of cancer. The prognosis was very good, since it was caught
early. Suddenly, she became an attention-seeking maniac, wanting
everyone's attention 24/7. DH has to call at least once a week.
If possible, he must visit every month. But it has become increasingly
uncomfortable for us (especially me) to visit because of her constant
complaining and whining. She'll have a new rash or some worsening
condition every time. She has had test after test in the hospital.
All turned out negative. Yet, she tells DH that she's dying. The
first time she OD'd, it was quite traumatic for all of us. We later
discovered that she faked it (MIL is an ex-nurse). The second time
it happened (yes, there was a 2nd time) she had a stomach wash out
because FIL was frantic. An hour later she was sitting in her hospital
bed, grinning from ear to ear. Again, it was staged. She probably
wanted to get back at us for not wanting to visit her that weekend.
I don't know anyone who is more manipulative than her, Do you?

My MIL is a real psychotic.
The people I know think that she doesn't have a real good touch
with reality. I had a dog that I grew up with. She is now 12 years
old. I have had her since she was a puppy. My mom got a new dog
and it used to attack my dog. MIL asked us to let her house my
dog until we got our own house, with the condition we take the dog
with us when we did. Well, the time came that we had married and
moved out. When it came time to get my dog back, she refused.
She lied to our faces and said that she never told us we had to
take her back. She also overdosed my dog on her medication (she
is epileptic). She gave my dog a month's worth of pills in a week.
So, we began to dole the medication out to MIL, but she went to
another vet and got a second prescription! Then, when we forcibly
removed my dog, she went nuts and dragged us into the vet's office
and made this huge deal out of it. DH gave her the dog back and
excommunicated her. Well, she called MY BOSS at HIS HOME and fussed
because we wouldn't answer her calls. All she wanted was to give
us our Christmas presents. It came to the point where I had to
choose between my dog and my DH. So, obviously, I chose my DH.
His mom chose the dog, and my DH knows it.

Worst gift: The worst
gift I have ever gotten from my MIL was last Christmas. She kept
asking me what I wanted, so I finally asked her for a hair straightener,
because, ya know, we wouldn't want her to pretend to be thoughtful.
Instead, she decided to buy me a coat - a children's size small
coat. I tried it on and it was obviously waaayyyy too small. But,
then I noticed the sleeves weren't even, one sleeve was 6 inches
longer than the other one! Let's not even mention that she left
the $3 price tag on it. Thanks "mom".
