My MIL is a horror and
a half. She has complete control over her entire family and she
hates me, that is all there is to it. When DH and I were dating,
we broke up after a year. We were young and things were getting
hard for us, so we took a break. I moved out of our town house.
It wasn't a bad break up, we were still talking every day and being
very friendly to each other. I went to the house one evening to
drop off my mail key, and MIL was there doing dishes and hanging
curtains. It kind of creeped me out, but I was very nice to her.
She was curt and mean to me, which she had never been before. Apparently,
she had gone through some of my stuff and she found a letter that
I wrote to DH asking him if his mom liked me. It said that I didn't
ever feel very welcome in their home. She was irate and told me
how ungrateful I was. I just sloughed it off. Two days later I
came back to get the last few boxes, and the house was covered with
pictures of my DH and his ex that were cut out of a newspaper.
They were all over, with highlighted sayings like "Relationships
are supposed to be fun." It was so eerie. In fact, my mom
called her and told her that it was creepy and to stay away from
me. It was like psych creepy. DH and I got back together, and
it has been rocky ever since. She will like me for months and then
she will hate me and play games, like cutting off phone access to
her house, writing nasty emails, calling me up at work crying, etc.
It is really bad. After 5 years, one baby, and one on the way,
I finally stood up to her. Now she hates me for sure, and has turned
the whole family against me. I am not allowed to any of the family
functions or anything. When I told her off, so to speak, I was
curt and matter of fact, but I was not nasty. I did not call her
names. I did not go overboard. I just was very upset and let her
know that this is not how I and DH like to be treated. She was
very insulted. I even apologized later, but it wasn't good enough
for her. Now she is angry that I am pregnant and hasn't said a
word or seen me once in the last 6 months. DH avoids the issue
and pretends that everything is A-OK. I just wish that we could
move far, far away!!

I'd rather call it a
story, as at the time I did not find it funny. BF and I went to
his mother to tell her about our plans to get married. I was, according
to his mother, a bit young, and she wanted to know from us why I
wanted to marry at such a young age. BF replied that some women
don't want to get married until they find a rich guy. At this she
turned to me and asked, "Is that what you want, to marry a
rich guy ?" BF insists that it was just a joke. But if so,
I want to know why she then stared at me and waited for an answer.

Worst gift: My MIL was
ecstatic when we had our son. DH is her only married child, so
this was the first grandson, and she's forever thanking me for making
her a grandma to this beautiful child, etc. For my first Mother's
Day, we had the usual Mother's Day dinner at her house. She and
her mother opened gifts, completely ignoring the fact that the gifts
that I had received were still unopened. When someone else finally
mentioned it, I opened mine. I got some very thoughtful things,
with the exception of hers. She gave me two boxes of toaster pastries.
For the love!! This last year she didn't get me anything, which
is almost better!!!
Signed - Good Grief!
