When my DH and I were
planning our wedding, we decided that we would invite about 200
people. I contacted my mother and father and told them that they
had 40 seats, which they could fill however they liked. Then I
called my now MIL and told her and they had 40 seats to fill however
they liked. My DH and I had the remaining 120. I also requested
the lists of names and addresses. I requested that they get back
to me within 4 or 5 weeks so that I could start sending out invitations.
My mother and father prepared their list over the next couple of
weeks and got it back to me, well within time. My MIL, on the other
hand, did not. Seven WEEKS later she was still "working on
it", AND complaining about having to get addresses. I had
to start sending out invitations and called her several times to
tell her that it was really important that I get the list so that
the first round of invitations could get out and there would still
be time to invite other people if the first invitees could not make
it. TWO WEEKS after that she finally dropped the list off with
my DH. It had about 150 NAMES ON IT, a lot of them with stars next
to the names. AND, only about 1/6 of them had addresses. I said,
"What do the stars mean?" and he said, "I don't know."
He called her up and asked. She said, "Oh, those are the people
whom I already invited who can't make it." It was around 110
people!!!!! Need I finish this story???

When my DH and I were
dating, I had to have all four wisdom teeth removed. I went in
for the procedure and then went to his house so that he could take
care of me for the next day or two. We were upstairs in his room,
laying in his bed and watching TV, when his mom, who does NOT live
in the house, marched through the door (WITHOUT EVEN KNOCKING).
I was still groggy from the procedure, but managed a barely audible
"hello". She said that she was in the area and stopped
by to say hi. She was nosing around the room when she noticed that
there was a large bouquet of flowers sitting on the dresser. She
went over and smelled them. Then she turned to my DH and asked,
"Who are these for?" He said, "For GF, since she
had her teeth out today." She frowned and said, "You
never get your MOTHER any flowers," then turned around and
walked out the door.

Worst gift: Top this:
My mother and MOH put on a beautiful bridal shower for me at my
parent's house. My MIL showed up, in all her snobby glory, and
presented me with my gifts. Now, all of our family friends, and
the family and friends of my DH gave me lingerie, lotions, house
goods, candles, and other things that they knew I would like. Basically,
pretty things that made sense for ME and for a bridal shower. She,
on the other hand, presented me with a set of four pink plates and
four margarita glasses that did not even match. She has PLENTY
of money (which she carries around in a $450 designer bag), and
PLENTY of time on her hands (as she sits around all day and does
nothing while her husband works his a$$ off), but I just bit my
tongue and said, "Thank you for the 'thoughtful" gift,
even though it appeared as though she grabbed the first thing that
she spotted in the department store. Well, it gets better. The
next day I was at a clearance store, to look for some frames for
our new house. I spotted the SAME PLATES AND MARGARITA GLASSES,
and they were on SUPER clearance - like $3 for the plates and $1.50
each for the glasses. I am POSITIVE that she got them there because
I cannot imagine any other store on earth that would carry the same
items.
