My MIL is known as the "phone Nazi"
in our house. She can answer the phone on a half ring, and will
not put anyone on the phone unless the caller answers all of her
questions, even if she doesn't understand what the caller is talking
about. If she feels that the caller is getting cocky, she'll hang
up and not tell you that you had a call.

Our first baby is due any day now. The baby
will be too young to travel to either of our family's houses for
Thanksgiving this year, which made me kind of sad at first because
it will be the third year in a row that I won't be with my family
for the holiday (we lived in another state for the past two years).
My parents will be coming and spending a lot of time with us and
the new baby when he is born, so they will be going to spend Thanksgiving
with the rest of the family, as my dad can't travel down here too
much because of work and health issues. Well, there are only 5
people in DF's family. FMIL is crazy and is really challenging,
but she at least likes me. Besides, I get along great with everyone
else in his family and love them all very much. So, knowing that
it would mean a lot to DF, I suggested that he invite his mom, dad,
sister, aunt and cousin to come spend Thanksgiving with us. I love
to cook, and I want them to know that I value them as part of our
child's life (first grandchild on their side). Well, FPILs have
four dogs that my FMIL is absolutely obsessed with, to a very extreme
and unhealthy level. So they want to come, but their concern was
(of course) who will watch over the dogs. They don't feel that
they could find someone to watch them over the holiday. So what
was the solution? FMIL and FSIL will come down and LEAVE FFIL BEHIND
WITH THE DOGS!!! I think that is so mean and selfish! FFIL is
so excited to have a GS. He is such a sweet man and has done everything
to make me feel like part of the family. I just think that is so
selfish of FMIL to make him stay home with no family on a holiday
and miss out on seeing his new baby GS. Plus, he keeps his wife
in line, so I was really banking on him coming. This would mean
that it will be 1 man (my DF) and 5 women (including me), on a holiday
that involves a lot of cooking, and a new baby. You see where I'm
going with this? I suggested that DF tell his mom to board the
dogs at the vet or a pet motel. He didn't think that she would
do it for her precious babies, but when I told him how unfair I
thought is was to his dad (and reminded him about how many women
there would be), I saw a light go on in his head and he said he'd
talk to them. I was thinking that my next tactic would be to tell
DF that the invite was for all or nothing. Do you think that's
wrong of me? I would just feel so bad for FFIL to be sitting home
alone with 4 smelly dogs, instead of with his family.

Worst gift: My lovely
MIL has 18 GKs, but she only considers one every year for Christmas.
She says the same thing, "I have no money to buy gifts,"
but that certain GS gets at least 500 dollars worth of gifts from
her. One year she surprised everyone and had gifts under the tree,
one for each of the 17 other kids. So at Christmas, when the kids
were at the house to open their gifts, they all got the same thing
a pair of socks. She caught a sale, 6 pairs for $2.00, so she decided
to break up the pairs for the kids.
