The date:  9/14/01  I survived the WTC bombing and was not relocated to a new office until the following week.  My MIL came out that Friday.  As she exited our car, I was standing on the steps to our house.  She walked right past me, as if I had died in the rubble.  Classy, eh?

MIL has done it again!  DF and I are planning on having a baby as soon as we get married.  MIL is aware of this and so excited that we are giving her a GC.  She has already stated that when this child is born, it is "hers", but we will have that battle when the day comes.  I am the type of person who will buy a Christmas present for someone in June, if I happen to find a suitable gift.  I have also done this with baby items.  I recently purchased a car seat for 50% off.  Now I haven't gone as far as to buy clothes, but when I see a good price for big ticket items, I think it makes perfect sense.  MIL thinks this is a smart idea.  She was out shopping and found a very nice bedside crib in an antique shop (the type that has a frame and swings, kind of like a bassinet), and she picked it up for me.  I was absolutely thrilled, as I had been looking for one and they are rather hard to find.  We had it for a few months when one of her friend's DD had a baby.  Her friend showed up with her DGD, and MIL said, "I forgot I had something for the baby," and she gave her friend the crib that she had given to me for my baby.  I was crushed!  She did this right in front of me and didn't even so much as say, "I will get you another one."  This is just the tip of the iceberg.  She constantly does cruel things just to hurt me.  If I give her something, she has no shame giving it away right in front of me, because she is very cheap.  One time she had forgotten about a friend's birthday, and the person had called and said that she was dropping by.  Instead of running out and picking up something, or even letting her friend know that she has forgotten, she grabbed a basket and decided that she would 'throw" something together.  I was appalled.  She took a basket that she had used to keep toilet paper in from the bathroom (which her friend had obviously seen).  She then went to her cupboards and filled it with things like cake mix, ketchup, food coloring and anything else that she had found unopened.  Her friend did not even know how to thank her, she was just in shock.  Now, as I mentioned previously, MIL definitely has money to spare, so I do not know why she gives such tacky gifts.  I have so many stories like this.  I could go on for ever.

( I want my own Frequent Fry Her TM Page )

When My DH and I were dating, we went to visit his family for Thanksgiving.  I spent time helping his mother get ready for dinner.  Sometime during this she said, "You are a lucky girl."  Being naive and assuming that she was just being a proud mother I said, "I know I am.  Her response to this was, "I know, because if he would have turned out the way I raised him, he would be too good for you."  Luckily I am the most lucky girl in the would, because when I told him what happened, he confronted his mother and made her tell me that she was sorry.
