I should have known that
it was trouble from day one! During the Thanksgiving holiday, shortly
after my DH and I started dating, I went to my MIL/FIL's home to
meet them and some of the extended family. I walked into the kitchen
and my MIL was standing at her kitchen counter preparing something
with her back facing me. She knew very well that I was there, as
I was talking with other relatives in the same room. However, she
did not turn from the counter to greet or acknowledge me for approximately
30 minutes!!! I have never forgotten that!!! To this day, eight
years later, she rarely greets me if she can help it. I can walk
up to her at church and she will ignore me, yet reach for one of
my babies. Often she will not greet me when she comes into my own
home. Usually I ignore it, but occasionally I will go out of my
way to say hello and chat it up just to force her to talk, especially
in front of others. Occasionally she will respond with a snippy,
"Hi," if it appears to absolutely be the only socially
appropriate thing that she can do at the time. However, she doesn't
appear to be lacking in vocabulary skills while offering unsolicited
advice on most anything. She is seriously lacking in the area of
social skills. She will pointblank ask someone if they have gained
weight (as she appears to be obsessed with weight, especially everyone
else's). She will argue with anyone about anything, and take the
opposite position just to argue. She will argue with people about
where their own relatives live, and I'm pretty sure they know a
little more about it than she does. She would stand and argue with
a fence post about the most mundane and benign of topics, because
she's just that smart and knowledgeable regarding all topics! After
my wedding 10-15 people approached me individually and told me how
unpleasant, snippy, and b!tchy she was, and I am using their terms.
She argued with my mother's BF. I introduced people to her and
FIL in the receiving line and she acted snippy and arrogant. She
was and is out of control! I just think that it's ridiculous, because
I'm sure that even a trained monkey could manage to greet someone
or extend some type of friendly gesture. Unfortunately, this is
merely the tip of the iceberg when it comes to this whack-job individual.
I have eight years of experience to build on, and it has only been
downhill from there. Oh the stories I could tell, and I will!!!

DF's mother has asked
DF what special thing HE wanted as a wedding gift. She did this
because weddings are mostly for the woman, and she wants to get
him something "just for HIM".

I have been happily married
for four years. I now realize that there has been a problem lurking
in his family that has been going on for years. Mother-in-law.
My DH's first marriage was forced, shotgun style, by his parents
(MOTHER), and this brief and loveless marriage lasted just two years.
This was 15 years ago. He has been honest about his feelings regarding
this woman to his mother through the years, from before they were
married to now. He dislikes her. Yes, they work out a schedule
for the visitation of his son, but the problem is that thanks to
his mom, his ex-wife is at the family reunions, birthday parties,
Christmas parties, etc. His mom sees nothing wrong with it, but
my DH feels rejected by his mother. Frankly, I'm starting to feel
a bit dissed by her disregard. MIL is a very nice person. I suspect
that she's oblivious, but she has been asked nicely!
