My BIL is a little slower than everyone else, but he is obnoxious about it.  He has a much lower IQ than my DH or me.  He is not retarded by any means, but he can't learn in a classroom like we can.  He left high school last year.  He has taken the graduation exam TWELVE times, and has failed it TWELVE times.  My DH said that if he took the test in 9th grade, he would have passed. (I was in private school and not required to take it).  So, my MIL pays for BIL to take the graduation test over and over again.  Now she wants him to get a job as an electrician with my DH.  My DH told her that there is no way in HE!! he could pass the entrance exam to get into the school, because even he had a hard time with it.  And he had "A"s in Calculus in college.  Not to mention, you have to have a HS diploma to enter (BIL does not have a diploma because he cant pass the test).  But, MIL refuses to believe him and is pushing BIL to take the test.  At $40.00 a test, how many thousands will it take before she gives up?

I was at a family gathering with my DH's family, DH was not there.  Everything seemed to be going all right until MIL broke out the comment to her DD, "Make sure you let me know when your next ultrasound is going to be so I can schedule time off from work."  I don't know if she meant it to be such a slap in the face to me, but it sure seemed like it.  She hasn't missed 1 of her DD's ultrasounds, but she hasn't been able to make either of my children's.  Too bad she doesn't know what she is missing.  People can be so cold-hearted, especially my MIL.

Worst gift:  A few months ago I was diagnosed with uterine cancer and had to undergo a complete hysterectomy.  For my 24th birthday, 2 weeks after I got home from the hospital, I received a free visit to a fertility specialist.  The card read that they thought we could "use the help," since we were taking so long to "get pregnant".
