I recently gave birth to my first child in June and I still have vivid memories of how my MIL treated me when I was pregnant.  Whenever we would visit my MIL, she would have to tell me some story of a woman who miscarried or who was diagnosed with thyroid cancer (which runs in my family) while she was pregnant.  Then, on Mother's Day, my sister had given me a necklace and wrote on the card that it was from my DD (I thought that was sweet!).  I told my MIL about it and she had the nerve to laugh and tell me I wasn't a mother yet, even though I gave birth less than a month later.  She made sure to give my DH a Father's Day gift, even though my DD was not born yet.  I have never cried so many times in my life than during those 9 months.  I am definitely warning my BIL's DW when she gets pregnant.

My DH is in the army, so we move around a lot.  Every time we move, she comes to visit and sight-see.  When she is there, she acts like she owns the place.  She makes a total mess out of my house.  She puts my dishes away filthy!!!  One time she put a plate totally smeared with ketchup and melted cheese back in my cupboard.  She put it underneath all the other dishes.  I think she hid it there just to be a spiteful witch.  She puts empty containers in my fridge because she is too lazy to rinse them out and throw them away.  She falls asleep in the bathtub for hours and nobody can use the bathroom.  She has some nasty bathroom habits.  I can't even look at her when she gets out of my bathroom.  She always stays for a month at a time.  She gets grease all over my stove, she lays her smelly socks and used tissues all over the place.  She butts in to all of the conversations that I have with my DH.  She buys tacky decorations from the dollar stores and she wants me to decorate my home with them.  She has power of attorney over all of our money.  She does not trust me with the money while my DH is away.  She is nice to me when my DH is around, and then, when he is away, she sends me rude e-mails.  So I forward them to my DH.  This way he can see how mean she is.  She didn't like that!!!  I hate her.  She is soooo up in my business.  I feel like I am married to her.  She is so arrogant and domineering.  She makes me feel uncomfortable in my own home.  I want to have children someday, but I hate her so much that I don't even know if I could stand to have her as my children's grandmother.

Worst gift:  The year before last my MIL gave me a scratched bootleg CD that she bought at a garage sale.  It still had the 25 cent price tag on it.  Oh well, it's the thought that counts.  And I'm thinking about what I'll wear to her funeral!

        Signed - Not a Fan
