My IL's generosity has
always "under-whelmed" me. But the final straw was our
silver wedding anniversary. One year prior, my SIL had celebrated
her 25th. I picked out a silver clock/picture frame and had it
properly engraved. I mailed it in time for it to arrive on their
actual anniversary, and was anxious to hear how they liked it.
I had contacted my MIL about organizing a celebration for them,
but she just laughed and told me that I was silly. I didn't want
to step on anyone's toes, so thought that just the gift would be
the proper course of action. My SIL called me practically in tears.
She informed me that I was the only family member to acknowledge
their silver anniversary. I was shocked, and chalked it up to my
socially backward MIL. How a mother could refuse to celebrate a
child's milestone event is beyond me. Two months later my MIL had
her 50th anniversary. All the family gathered, some from out of
state! My MIL put an article in the local newspaper about her and
my FIL's life together and laminated an article for every family
member. Odd, that her anniversary was that newsworthy, but her
own DD's was of no significance at all. They were showered with
lovely gifts and much attention, which is how it should be. The
next summer we had our 25th. You guessed it. Not a gift, not a
card, not a phone call, not even a lousy e-mail from my MIL, and
we only live 40 minutes away. What was worse was that my SIL, who
was so "moved" by our gift, did not respond in any way,
either! I guess the old saying is true; no good deed goes unpunished!

I thought that I had a
great relationship with MIL. Technically, she is not my MIL yet.
Long story. We have a little boy, who is MIL's pride and joy.
Shorter story, DS is 2, and we are having another child. MIL is
SUPER p!ssed because we are not married yet. She just recently
converted back over to her original religion (fine), and proceeds
to push it down my throat that we are not living our lives the way
GOD wants us to. I told her that I didn't agree (the first time
in 5 years that I've flat out told her so), and she got ANGRY at
me again. She had the audacity to say, "Well, I guess I know
that you're pregnant for sure because you seem pretty hormonal."
UGH. I just wanted to SLAP her. Then she got angry at me for stating
my feelings, and left my house. Fast forward to about a week later.
I was at my GM's house. MIL called and said that she was going
to drop off her dog. Ok, no problem. I said that I'd meet her
at my house. I got home with DS and MIL was already in my house
cleaning up because it was driving her crazy, and acting like nothing
had happened. She bought us "paper" shades because we
just had our windows replaced and it was bothering her that we hadn't
gotten blinds yet. There is still more, but I would have to write
a novel. Let's just say that I understand why her DD moved 2 hours
away!

I just got a phone call
last night from my MIL saying that I will never be good enough for
her son because I am not the same race that his family is, and I
do not have a degree. On top of that, she proceeded to scream at
me till I was in tears, telling me that she wanted to inflict the
pain on me that I inflicted on her when I told her that I was pregnant!
I am still up in arms over this, and very hurt. It looks like I
won't be seeing her for a while. Good thing she lives 4 states
away from us!

For Her, But Damn Good Enough For Her Son
