I don't want to go down
for the holidays to visit the ILs. They treat us like doody. We
have slept on the floor with our baby, while BIL and SIL get the
double bed and never offer to take turns. This happened when they
weren't married, and we were. We have said that we will stay in
a hotel, but MIL cries to my DH on the phone, so he gives in to
her. Now BIL and SIL live in same town as the ILs, and in their
old house, which supposedly they are paying rent for. Why should
we go down now, when the room is theirs? They are rude and poke
each other under the table when they ask us questions. SIL flirts
with my DH and is always following him around. I ask her where
BIL is, and she says, "Upstairs." It is not fun being
around any of them. DH acts like he wants to see them, but he brings
bottles of stomach medicine with him. It is an ongoing sick relationship,
and I am tired.

I've managed to get along
with "MIL" for almost four years, though that all changed
back in September. She invited her entire family to our house,
that is ten hours away, for Thanksgiving, since I'm expecting our
first child in early November. I told her that I didn't think I
could accommodate the ENTIRE crew, and have been accused of trying
to divide the family. When I noted that I hadn't even talked to
my DH about the holiday, she told me to, "Get over it,"
and that I had a lot of things wrong with my life. I can only assume
that she was referring to the fact that my own mother was ill (and
ultimately died of cancer recently). She is a sick, sick woman,
who only makes me appreciate how wonderful my own mom was. I've
been told that babies make people crazy, and man, have I witnessed
this first hand!

Worst gift: I know that
it is the thought that counts, so the more I think about it, the
funnier it gets. DH and I started dating in high school. DH's
birthday is only a few days before Christmas, and his mom usually
only gives him one combined gift (for both birthday and Xmas).
The year he turned 18 she got him a VCR. At the time, that was
a nice gift. He hooked it up, but it did not work. His mom insisted
that she would take it back to the store and get a new one. Fast
forward six months to his high school graduation. Guess what he
got? Yup, a VCR. The same one, still broken. No card, no congrats.
