My DF went through he!!
to convince my family to let me live here. I'm extremely traditional,
my dad's probably worse, and I had never expected to move out until
I was married. It sounds stupid, I know, but ANYWAY. FMIL called
the day after I moved in. She told my DF to go behind my back and
get my psychiatric records (I'd gone after my grandfather died,
sue me, the man raised me) because I'm obviously emotionally disturbed
for being obsessed with my family. She did not ask for my records,
she specifically asked him to lie to my doctor, pretend that I had
some psychotic episode, grab the records, and mail them to her!
To top it off, she then went on to ask a bunch of rather personal
questions about how upset I was after my grandfather's death, telling
my DF that my crying for one week was "far too long",
and indicative of an "extreme emotional disorder". She
finished that one by saying that she just wanted to protect him
because I was likely to violently attack him!!! I'm a foot shorter
than him and about 40 lbs lighter, what am I going to do, step on
his toes?? Needless to say, my DF telling his mother that he can't
speak the same language as my family, but they treat him better
than she treats, me was the crowning achievement of this entire
relationship.

Worst gift: My ILs are
such caring, loving people! Last year on my birthday my dear old
FIL offered to cook for me. I was very excited at the opportunity.
First, he is a fabulous cook. Second, he has cooked birthday dinners
for my BIL's GF, but never offered for my birthday until this year.
Third, there have been many rude incidents in the past five years
from both the ILs, and I was hoping for a mending of the relationship.
My DH talked to his dad, and plans were made for a Sunday 3 pm gathering,
with dinner at 4 PM The day of my "dinner", my FIL called
and said (BIL's GF) had to work late, and he was not cooking until
8 PM. DH and I had an hour commute home. By the time dinner would
be served and we visited, we could be home very late - close to
midnight. We both get up extremely early for our jobs. DH told
my FIL that we needed to keep our plans as is, and my FIL said if
(BIL's GF) could not be there, we would not have dinner. Needless
to say, my big dinner was canceled by FIL! I was hurt and irate.
Signed - Nice ILs, HUH?

Worst gift: My monster-in-law
makes quilts to enter into shows around the country. After she
is done with them, she gives them to my children as gifts. She
says that she is specifically making them for my kids, but uses
them for herself to win prizes. She actually gave me one as a Christmas
gift last year. Apparently, she wanted to enter it in a contest.
I had called her from a fabric store to see what I needed to buy
to hang it on my wall. While I was at the store on the phone with
her, asking her what I needed to buy to hang my quilt, she told
me, "Oh yeah, I was going to ask to borrow it back to enter
it in a contest." I was speechless. The great thing is that
I tell my DH, and his response is that I need to stop starting with
her!!!!!!
Signed - Contested Gift
