frequent fry her - LondonCalling Frequent Fry Her TM. - LondonCalling/Posted: 11-NOV-06
For a little while there I felt sorry for MIL.  FIL was diagnosed with cancer, and we were warned to expect the worst.  Luckily, they caught it early.  FIL underwent major surgery 2 weeks ago, and they think they got it all.  For a little while MIL became human.  She was very frightened about what was happening, and I actually thought that I must have misjudged the woman, that she really wasn't so bad after all.  Well, all good things come to an end.  Now that she knows that FIL is out of danger, she is slipping back into her old self.  She is really enjoying the attention that FIL's illness has brought, and she has cast herself as "best actress in a starring role" and "director of the melodrama".  Gone is the scared woman of 2 weeks ago - the b!tch is back!  She controls everything, and everything revolves around her.  FIL is coming home tomorrow, and he must be bracing himself for being put into the clutches of chief gaoler.  I am wondering what is in store for all of us.  There is bound to be a strict rota for visiting, shopping, etc., that we all have to abide by.  Not only that, but she used to make FIL do all the "heavy" housework for her (she won't lift anything heavier than a teacup or a knife and fork), so who is going to do that for her now that he is incapacitated?

( I want my own Frequent Fry Her TM Page )

DH and I met in elementary school, but didn't start dating seriously until I was 17 and he was 19.  I didn't know too much about his family, just what he had told me over the years.  I knew his sister.  She seemed normal and they had a nice house (it was really MIL's current BF's house, she was just mooching).  When I met her, I found out that she was a crystal meth dealer and heavy user.  Fast forward a few months, and my addiction was about as bad as hers.  But I held my job the whole time and she went through many.  I made my car payments and paid my cell phone bill every month, the only two bills I had.  She couldn't even keep her electricity on, and she stole my DH's car.  She would disappear..  When I found out that I was pregnant, she wouldn't leave me alone.  She told me that it was ok to do drugs because she did them, and her kids are fine.  I RAN.  I didn't let them into my life until I was strong in my sobriety and she had convinced me that she was, as well.  So my DD didn't meet her daddy until she was 2 months old.  He missed the birth and everything because his mother dictates his bad choices.

I am 40 weeks pregnant, and my MIL is a nightmare!!!  She tells me how to clean the dishes because she doesn't like the way I do it!!!  She calls my unborn child hers!!!!!  She brings the whole family to stay with us and takes over!!  She said that the day baby comes out of the hospital, she will come and stay, along with the whole family.  Guess where MIL and her 4 DDs will sleep?!  In my bed, with me!!!!!!!  The cheek of her!  What shall I do?  This is no joke!!!

        Signed - No Joke!!!
