frequent fry her - LivingInLaLaLand, 1 of 4 needed Frequent Fry Her TM. - LivingInLaLaLand, 1 of 4 needed/Posted: 1-NOV-06
My MIL lives in La La Land!  She is living a double life.  In one life she is a rich snob and everyone else is trash.  And in reality she is a broke b!tch and she thinks everyone else is trash.  Let me give you an example:  DH and I had planned a mini vacation, and, of course, she insisted on herself and her daughter tagging along.  We informed MIL that is was a white water rafting trip and she may not enjoy it, but she insisted and offered to pay for it as long as I made the arrangements, which was very generous.  However, she insisted that only a 5 Star hotel would do.  Since she was paying for it, I let her have her way.  It turns out that the hotel was booked, so the poor woman (who lives in dirty, ripped clothes) would have to endure the horror of a 4 star hotel.  And, just my luck, they only had one room left.  That would mean that MIL, SIL, DH and I get to be roomies all weekend - what a joy!  So, when I told MIL that the four night vacation would cost $500, she flipped out!  The hotel that she wanted to stay at was over $400 a night!!!  She then asked if there was a small motel that we could stay in.  For the sake of argument I agreed.  But I do not understand how she demands such a pricey hotel, and we ended up in a $50 a night motel.  Well, there is only two weeks left until the now dreaded vacation, and she told me now that she can't come because there will be no one to feed her cat.  So now I am stuck paying some dumpy motel that I did not want to be in and baby-sitting SIL!  WoooHooo!

My SIL lives about 20 minutes from us.  Her DH is always "working" 12 hour days.  At the time, they had one young son and one on the way.  She called my DH one night, saying that someone was trying to break into her house and she was afraid that they might hurt her.  Could he come over?  He asked her if she'd called the police, which she hadn't.  If somebody was going to kill her, WTF can my DH do?  We live 20 minutes away!  Not to mention, it's not as if DH is a cop, or armed forces, or anybody who she thinks can "save" her (did I mention that her own DH is a marine??).  She was FURIOUS that he told her to call the police instead, even though he called back 10 minutes later (still sooner than he could have driven there) to see how everything was.  She claimed that the cops had checked it out already and had gone (he thinks that's pretty suspicious, BTW).  She then called to tattle to MIL that horrible, terrible me wouldn't "let him" go over there.  They both still throw it in his face that he wasn't there for his sister when she "needed him".  He asked what the he!! he could have even done in that situation, besides show up to find her dead body, but that's not the point, apparently.

MIL always remembers son's birthdays and her other DIL's, but she forgets mine, conveniently.  One time BIL had the nerve to call our house on SIL's birthday, after MIL had forgotten my birthday.  BIL said, "We are at mom and dad's having a party for SIL."  We just sent BIL a gift in the mail and my DH signed all of our names on the card.  We had all gone down to mail the present and get the card, etc.  My BIL sent a thank you card (first one EVER).  It was addressed and written only to my DH.  He sees nothing wrong with this.  His family comes over and I serve snacks, and they thank him by name and say nothing to me.  Am I just being a complainer?  Would this bother anyone else?  P.S.  My DH wants me to send SIL presents, and I even did so a week after giving birth.  She does not remember my birthday or even say thanks.  I don't give to receive, but I'd rather give to someone in need.  I don't expect anything in return, but . . .
