I had pre-eclampsia and
had to be induced. My active labor was 38 hours long, and ended
in a C-section. I'd repeatedly told DH that NO ONE, and I mean
NO ONE but him was to be in the delivery room with me. Granted,
when I said that over and over, I didn't realize that I'd be in
labor for 38 hours. Still, I am very independent, and when I'm
in pain I like peace and quiet. MIL apparently called out of work
and sat in the waiting room for over a day, leaving only to get
food in the hospital's kitchen. After 24 hours of labor, she entered
the delivery room and said, "I know you didn't want visitors,
but I figured you could use the company." I wanted to jump
out of the bed and toss her out the window. Thank goodness I was
in too much pain to move. The doctor came in to check how dilated
I was, and MIL didn't budge. I had to ask her for some privacy.
She returned as soon as the doctor left, with food. Now, anyone
who's been induced or just in labor knows that you go an awful long
time without eating. I hadn't eaten anything but popsicles in about
35 hours at this point, and there she was with a chicken Caesar
salad and candy. The doctor came back to discuss options with me,
and AGAIN I had to ask MIL to leave. The options for my delivery
were between me, my doctor, and DH, but it had nothing to do with
MIL. At that point I asked the doctor not to let MIL return. If
DH was so spineless that he wouldn't tell her, the doctors would
have to. I was in active labor and didn't need to be addressing
anything but the birth of my child. So, we found out that we needed
an emergency C-section, and that happened at 12:31 a.m. Well, I
was being stitched up and couldn't hold my son. They took him to
the nursery. Later that day my DH got pictures of the whole thing
developed, and I saw one of MIL holding my son. My first child,
my first born, and she held him before me!!!!!!! She held him before
me!!!! I burst into tears. It was bad enough that she showed me
no respect by not acknowledging that I didn't want her there, but
then she held my son before I even did??????? I flipped out on
DH, the doctors, or anyone who would listen. And, I've barely spoken
a word to her since. I don't answer her calls (although she calls
very often) and won't visit her home. I cringe any time I see her
holding my son. It's been 4 months, and I am not even close to
over it.

My MIL is a pain in my @ss and SIL is no different. She copies
everything that I do!! At first I thought it was flattering, but
now it's creepy. Here are a few things that she has done to look
and be like me. I have always dyed my hair red. Well, she went
and dyed her hair red. She even asked me what color I used! I
didn't tell her and she bought the one that she thought I chose.
She asks me what mousse I use in my hair because she wants hair
like mine. It was ok at first, but now it's annoying being asked
over and over about my hair. Every time I do something to it, she
goes and does it. I got really cute slippers that look like sandals,
and the next day she went and bought some and kept telling me about
it, and how much better hers are. We were shopping together and
I saw a jacket that I loved and wanted. She wanted the same jacket.
Even though, earlier, she saw the jacket and said that she did not
like it. So annoying. She only likes clothes if I like them.
I love pink and have a lot of pink things. She hated pink, but,
you guessed it, now she says she loves it. She buys everything
pink, like me. I have always wanted a particular type of dog, and
now she says that she wants one! I am a purse freak and now so
is she. She never even owned a purse until she knew that I love
purses. I know these things seem trivial, but imagine it in your
face EVERY DAY!! Imagine everything you do being copied. I like
my individual style and being me. I don't like it when someone
tries to copy that and become me. Thank you for letting me vent!!

Worst gift: Ilk! This
one is easy. When my MIL comes here for a visit, she always brings
a boatload of junk with her to give out as "gifts". Usually,
the majority of the "gifts" are t-shirts out of the 49
cent bin, but have included some real stinkers. One Christmas she
gave me four wooden knives. Yep. Four useless wooden knives.
They weren't to use, but were too ugly for decoration. BUT, this
doesn't get the worst gift award. She once brought my DH the foot
of a dead cow (leg, hoof and all) that had been hollowed out and
made into a CANTEEN! He was not only suppose to keep this piece
of DEAD ANIMAL, but he was suppose to DRINK OUT OF IT! I couldn't
stand it. We hid it under the couch (it gave me nightmares just
having it in the house) until she left and then tossed it. Oooooh,
it still gives me chills thinking about that ugly thing.
