I am the mother of 3 girls, and was my MIL upset.  When my first DD was born, there was big disappointment because there wasn't a "boy" to carry the name.  When I got pregnant for a second time, I found out that I was having twins.  Needless to say, they were hoping for boys.  My pregnancy was really bad, labor at 16 weeks, hemorrhaging every month.  But, by the grace of God, my "daughters" were born healthy.  When my DH came down to tell everyone that the girls had been born and that I was in critical condition and may not survive due to complications, my MIL turned to my mother and said, "My F----g sons can't do anything right.  All they do is make girls."  Then, the icing on the cake was that she was mad because I didn't name any of my DDs after her.  She didn't like the names that I gave my twins, so she started calling them two different names.  Needless to say, she is now my ex-MIL.

The following Mother's Day after my Ex-DH and I moved in together, we were invited to a Mother's Day Brunch with her, FIL, BIL and his new DW.  There was one catch; I had to leave my two little ones from a previous marriage at home!  When my ex-DH pointed out the irony of this whole invitation, my ex-MIL started whining and said, "But why not?  She sees her kids every other day of the year!"  What she had conveniently forgotten was that I was working full time and going to school part-time at night.  But even if I was lucky enough to be a SAHM, the audacity to ask me to leave my kids home on Mother's Day!  What a selfish, self-centered witch!

You know how they say, "What goes around, comes around"?  Well, they forgot to tell me that included the cycles in the love/hate relationship that I have with my MIL.  I have got it down to a science now; it's 3 months normal, 3 months pure evil.  She always manages to make sure that her evil comes out around my favorite parts of the year, like summer and Christmas.  She always goes out of her way to exclude me and make me feel about an inch big around these times.  What I don't understand is that evil MIL comes out when MIL is happiest and things are going her way.  It started about a week ago, when she decided that after 4 years that no one but her is allowed to smoke in her house.  She has smoked in this house for 20 years and you can really tell.  But what she meant by that was that no one but her, is everyone but me.  It's winter here now and very cold at night, and she is making me go outside in freezing rain to smoke.  I don't understand how she can be so cruel.  Last week her BF, a few other friends, and my 12 year old SIL's friends were all there, and they were all smoking in the house.  But she insisted that I go outside.  I was so hurt!  She actually was so cruel as to stand inside and wave to me while smoking in "her" house.  Yes, around this time she gets very selfish.  She even says things like, "You're lucky that I let you eat off my dishes and stand on my floor."  I only spend about 40% of my time at her house, and she insists that I pay her rent, too!  She even says these things to her own kids.  But the worst part of it is how she belittles me in front of people.  She will say things like, "Don't listen to her, she is clueless," when we are talking about a subject that happens to be my profession.  She knows that I am trying to save money and she will send me to the store with a list with 20 things on it (most of them personal items for her), and never gives me any money.  If I tell her that I do not have the money to pay for it, she says, "Never mind."  Gee, I guess these things are only necessary if someone else is footing the bill.  One time during her three months of he!! she actually kicked me out of her house, saying that she was not feeling well (did I mention that I pay rent?), but SIL's friends were allowed to stay.  She tries to make herself look innocent by saying, "I am not singling you out."  News flash MIL, you are sick all the time because you are an alcoholic!  You never stop drinking!  I would be "very sick", too.  Oh and my favorite is when she is in front of a bunch of people and she gets up like she is 100 years old.  She screams in agony because she is in so much pain!  MIL and I were in a minor fender bender (no damage to the car), and she is apparently crippled!  She even tried to sue and they laughed at her.  The water works that accompany this are amazing, too.  She can turn it on and off like a garden hose.  No wonder she is "in pain", she never gets her 300 lb @ss off the sofa!  She also openly admits to favoring SIL.  She will take her everywhere and give her anything that she wants.  DF is crushed by this!  It hurts me to watch this go on!  So, yet again I have to go through the holidays with evil MIL.  The rest of the time she isn't good to me, just decent.  I can really live with decent.  Sometimes I wish MIL really would get . . .
