frequent fry her - cicilola, 1 of 4 needed Frequent Fry Her TM. - cicilola 1 of 4 /Posted: 1-DEC-06
I'll start in 2004, when MIL's son and I got married.  We were both Army, and paychecks were, needless to say, very important to us.  His mama told him that since he and his father had the same name, he couldn't have his own bank account (I know, he wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed back then).  And so his money had to go to her and her long time former marine GF's bank account.  I figured out very quickly that there was a problem when we were the same rank, but mysteriously he was only receiving around 1/3 of what I was getting.  So, trying not to start off rocky, I suggested that we consolidate accounts.  Lo and behold, the next payday we had the correct amount in the account.  Oddly enough, when the free money stopped, that is when she began to dislike me.  What kind of person steals from their own son?  It's one thing if a boy wants to give his mama some money, but to just steal it, lie about it, and make him look slow in front of an entire unit, that is just plain evil!!!!!

Okay, so I moved past the stealing and we continued on our merry way!  I am originally from New England, so when the Red Sox won the series in 2004, DH and I celebrated, causing the conception of our son.  The MIL and MILGF (MIL's GF) started off questioning the paternity of our son, putting all types of awful rumors in DH's head.  Mind you, DH was getting ready for a deployment, and his mama told him that our son is not his!!  WTF is that about?  His friends and other family members would tell us how they walked around calling the baby and me derogatory names to anyone who would listen, be it a pastor or a hairdresser.  What kind of pastor allows that talk?  That is what I want to know.  Anyway, so the pregnancy progressed and it was deemed high risk.  DH went overseas and I was left here to fend for myself in a southern state, when I am this blatant "Yankee", as I am so often called, with a New England accent.  So far, so good, I guess.  I kept in touch to let them know the status of the baby, and what not.  Shortly after DH left, I receive a call from the MIL.  She was in tears, saying DH's GF had cancer.  I immediately contacted the Red Cross to contact my spouse.  When they called to confirm with MIL, she denied it, and then called me up cursing.  Then MILGF decided that she would accuse me of fraud for telling the Red Cross that I was his wife.  Well guess what?  I AM HIS WIFE, and I have been for months.  Anyway, then the name calling began, which I just took for about a month.  Then she said something off color about my father, and I finally cussed her out!  Then she threatened lawsuits, telling me to kill myself and the baby, sending items certified to my DH, knowing that he is overseas, sending false divorce papers, letter after letter of one word notes such as "b*tch", "who*e", etc.  Meanwhile, the baby's prognosis was looking grim and I had to go to the ER.  I called her to let her know, and all she did was cuss and yell.  Hello!  There was an 80% chance that my first child, and her first grandchild, could have died, and instead of calling her son, like I asked her to do, she cussed me out!  EVIL.

Worst gift:  My MIL can be so thoughtful because that is what matters, right?  For my wedding gift she decided to redecorate our bedroom and bathroom!  WOW.  She likes black.  She got me the blackest of black curtains, a comforter set that I think she thought was black, but it's really a blue green gray!!  UGLY!!!  And, for the bathroom she got black floor rugs, towels, and a shower curtain!  Then, when I told her that I wanted to put another color over the curtains in the bedroom, she said, "Well, what other colors are in the blanket?"  I wanted to scream, since there was no other color!!  So, when I replied, "Not a color in that blanket, but a color to go with all my other blankets so when I switch them out, it will still match," I thought the world was coming to an end.  She freaked out, as if I could never change the blanket.  Well, lets just say that the blanket is now my dog's bed!  For Christmas last year she did not get me anything, but she got her DD a digital camera, a new computer, and all this other really cool stuff.  My DH got a button up brown suede shirt (note:  my husband would never wear anything like it, and she knows that) with a discount department store clearance tag on it that said "$11.00".  Now that's a great gift!!
