It was my MIL's birthday
and we were pretty strapped for money. The wedding was coming up
in only 2 months. She told us that she wanted sushi, which is our
favorite. But we can only afford to go once in a while, as it is
well over $75 just for the 2 of us. We kindly abided by her request,
thinking that it would be great and we would get a good present
for the wedding, since she wasn't helping to pay for ANYTHING at
all. We arrived at the restaurant and DH wanted her to see the
new ring that he bought me (not the wedding band, but the solitaire).
He had saved and saved for over a year, and bought me the most beautiful
2 carat stone. When he showed MIL, she immediately shouted in the
bar," WHERE'S MY 2 CARAT DIAMOND RING?" and proceeded
to call me a brat and to tell me that I better love him. We got
to our table, and as we sat down, he and I order iced tea. She
ordered a double high end "vodka" and soda. Not just
one, but 4, at $14 dollars a piece. Then she proceeded to order
some of the most expensive things on the menu. When the bill came
for over $300, she said that we could afford it, or pawn the ring.
Upon leaving the restaurant, she wanted to know where her BIRTHDAY
PRESENT WAS!!!!!!! We have been married for over 2 months, and
all she has given us is a lousy, broken refrigerator.

- sickandtired 1 of 4 /Posted: 27-NOV-06
One day I was driving home from work when
my DH called me. He said that he was over at his mom's house.
His stepfather had called him and needed help with DH's mom. They
were getting a divorce at the time. He said that he had gone over
to get some things, and she was all calm. When he came over, she
just started flipping out. He said that it was like she was possessed
by the devil himself. Keep in mind, this is a man whom I often
call "Saint_______", because I think so highly of him.
He is one of the most caring people I know (until a stunt he recently
pulled to try to get his wife, DH's mom, access to our DD). He
doesn't accuse people of things they don't do, or try to cause a
fuss. If he said something like that, he really thought it. Anyway,
my DH rushed over there (he is a police officer in our town). He
got close to her and looked in her eyes. He knew within 6 seconds
what was going on - meth. Just days before this, she had baby-sat
for our DD. When her DH came home from work (they were trying to
live together then), she was sick on the couch, curled up in a ball,
and our DD was in the recliner watching TV by herself. He took
her to the doctor, thinking that she was really sick. The doc told
him what he thought then (possibly meth), and wanted to test her.
She refused. No one told us. Then, she was supposed to watch our
DD overnight the following day (the day after the incident where
my DH suspected it), so we could go on an overnight trip for his
birthday. Now his mom was threatening suicide. He took the bull
by the horns and did his duty. He called for mental health assistance,
and had her admitted to the psych ward of the area hospital. Of
course, there were blood or urine tests were run. Several other
prescription substances showed up. DH finally booted her, but SIL
still lets her baby-sit her kids. Sad.

Worst gift: I know that
I have the worst MIL. For my birthday, she wrote me a check with
the wrong last name on it (I kept my last name and she's always
had a problem with it). She said that I should go to her bank to
cash it, and they'd have no problem with it. Why she didn't write
me a new check? Because she's nuts! I tried to cash a check with
the wrong last name on it and the bank called the police on me.
I was almost arrested! Also, she promised, 3 times, to have a bridal
shower for me when we got married, but never did. She even took
me around to different banquet halls to pick out the ones that I
liked best, and told her distant relatives how wonderful of a MIL
she is to me. After our wedding came and went with no shower, I
found out that she had been telling people that she DID have a wonderful
shower for me and I never even thanked her!! She stole my DH's
credit cards and charged over 20 thousand dollars on them. Then
she filed bankruptcy, and refused to take responsibility for the
debt that she had charged to her own son. Now, she's free and clear
and we're still paying off her bills, four years later. We'd like
to buy a house, but can't because we're using a debt consolidator.
Signed - I Hate Her!
