It's not so much one
event, rather an accumulation of small "things" that have
pushed me over the edge with my MIL. We enjoy my FIL very much.
He's helpful, handy, quiet and willing to go with the flow. His
wife, my MIL, is the total opposite. She's bossy, demanding, and
controlling. She lays the guilt trips on THICK. When we were first
married, we went over a couple of times a week, as we had little
income and would have dinner there. Now, 3 years later, we're doing
very well and have bought our first house. We also both work full-time
and are extremely busy. When we first bought the house, she would
show up unannounced and unexpected at any random given moment.
We would be in the pool, cleaning, in the shower, painting, etc.,
and there she'd be. If we didn't answer the door right away, she'd
walk around the house to find us, yelling for us. And sometimes
she'd bring other people over to see OUR house! Oh God! DH is
kind of weak around her and won't tell her directly to stop. He'll
kind of beat around the bush and suggest it. So I had to send an
email to everyone to "call before you come over". Then
she complained, saying that I yelled at her to not come over anymore
(not sure how you yell in an email, but whatever). Since we put
a stop to that, she's been emailing me constantly, claiming that
the mail is for my DH (to my account??). She plays the "poor
me" card. She whines we don't come see her, and says that
her "baby boy always used to come over to hang out" (read:
You stole my son, you evil DIL). This past week I received 23 emails
from her, and she was gone for 2 of those days. I finally had to
write back, politely, that we were our own family and will visit
when and whom we choose. So now the message she puts on her instant
message is, "Busy, but always have time for our kids."
Yes, my MIL uses IM to constantly check up on us!

I have been engaged twice
to the same man. Why did I leave him the first time? HIS MOTHER!
Sorry, I couldn't do the MIL from he!!. I refused. So I left the
man that I loved. Then, after two years of trying to find that
happiness again, we both decided to try it again. Now we are getting
married. But she is ruthless. She hates the colors of the wedding.
She hates the dresses. Even my FSIL isn't excited about being a
bride's maid. My poor FFIL is sad all the time. I can only imagine
what she says about me. She has called me everything in the book.
She even got into it with my mom. She told my mom that I won't
leave her son alone, and that I "just won't go away".
She even picked out white fabric for her mother of the groom dress.
She told me that would look better with her complexion! Finally,
my DF got some balls and told my parents and his parents that we
were getting married, and if they were coming, fine, if not, so
be it! That's was 6 months ago. She hasn't talked to either of
us since!

Get this! My MIL gave us her end tables a few years
ago when she moved in with her BF. They match the rest of our stuff,
and DH and I needed new ones (used or not). Before she gave them
to us, she sanded down the corners. My first DS was 3 then, and
she was sure that he would crack his head open on one of the pointy
corners. Now we have a 2nd DS, who's 9 months old. She asked me
if I was going to sand the edges down some more. He's very active
and climbs on anything. I said, "No, my kids will learn NOT
to climb on things they don't belong on. I won't alter anything
in my home." MIL did not like that comment. She showed up
with sand paper at her next visit. I was out getting the mail,
and when I came back in I could hear her sanding away at my end
tables. I told her to stop, and she just went faster. I pulled
it away. She got up, wiped off her clothes and said, "Well,
if you want him to hurt himself, go ahead." Then, I looked
down and my 9 month old DS had his mouth on the corner, wood dust
and all. I told her to get the vacuum and clean it up. She threatened
to take back HER end tables. It's been 3 years since she gave them
to us. I had her leave shortly after.
