frequent fry her - birdy, 2 of 4 needed Frequent Fry Her TM - birdy, 2 of 4 needed/Posted: 9-DEC-06
Last year I had a big blowout with my SIL, whom these stories are mainly about.  My DH, DD, and I decided to pay a visit to the ILs.  We got there just in time for dinner.  We weren't specifically invited for dinner, just an open invitation to stop by.  Earlier that day we had stopped at this amazing restaurant where we picked up some authentic corned beef, cabbage, and potatoes.  We still had leftovers, so when we arrived, we sat down and ate that instead, as her food always has dog hair in it and it kind of grosses me out.  Well, I could tell right after I sat at the table that my SIL was in a MOOD.  She started growling about how I have nothing to prove by bringing the uppity food to her table.  I guess corned beef and cabbage is "uppity".  When I ignored her, she moved on to the fact that I had new shoes and she was sick of DH and I always doing what we wanted, and that we didn't care about anybody but ourselves.  Never mind that these shoes were already 3 months old, and the only reason I bought them was because my old ones had fallen apart.  Again, I ignored her because she was just trying to get a rise out of me.  She was looking for a fight, and I was not in the mood.  At this point I didn't know where DH was, and I was starting to get uncomfortable.  I tried to continue eating, but I was getting upset.  I nervously started picking at my food with my fingers.  Suddenly she jumped up and started SCREAMING at me to use a fork.  She started yelling at me about how I was teaching her 4 year old son bad habits (which is darn near impossible, because I'm pretty sure he has learned them all by now from everyone else), that I'm a pig, I need to start eating out of a trough, and that I'm fat and disgusting.  She continued to scream a lot of hurtful things and I was still doing my best to ignore her.  I stood up and started getting my DD ready to leave.  I had had enough!  When she started calling me a bad mother, I lost it!  My DD is very well behaved for a 4 year old, especially compared to SIL's two little ones.  BACKGROUND:  Her now 6 year old son was looking at this new toy that he had received for Xmas last year, when his mother took it from him to help him put it together (some sort of racetrack).  He stood up and very seriously looked at his own mother and said, "I could kill you, you know."  He was 5 at the time.  Her now 4 year old (the two boys are about 2 years apart) told a cop, after his mother was pulled over, to take a flying leap and called him a couple of names (some choice words that would make a sailor blush).  He was 2 at the time.  I fired back and reminded her of her children's behavior.  She was getting louder and more abusive, and when I tried to stand up for myself, she decided that I was "trespassing" and called the police on me!  So I walked out and she came running behind me, screaming insult after insult about my weight, my mother, and anything else she could think of.  I just ignored her and waited across the street for the police so that I could tell them my side.  My DH was very insistent that we wait, because one time after he had a fight with her he left to calm down and she called the police, claiming that he had beaten her!  So, we waited and I explained to the officer what happened.  He told me that she said that she never wants me on her property again.  But he also said that we are family, and at some point we should make up.  HA!  A few weeks later she called me wanting to know if I wanted to go shopping with her.  No apology or anything!  My DH said that this is how his family is - no apology and nobody ever says, "I love you."  But that is not how I was raised.  It's been almost a year now, and I still haven't been over there.  Best year of my life.

When FDH and I bought our first home, he joyfully telephoned FSIL to tell her the good news.  Her comment?  "F*£$ing he!!.  Just what you need.  One more thing that ties you to her."  Needless to say . . .

        Signed - She Was Not At The House Warming!
        ( respond to this story )        ( here is my story )

My MIL has told repeated lies and stories about me to the family.  She has poisoned her heinous children against me.  Many of these stories and lies get back to me.  When I finally had had enough, I confronted her, yet she denied everything!  You know that when more than two people tell you the exact same story, it's the truth!  She denied everything, but I decided that I would forgive her in my heart and try and start anew.  This was over a month ago, yet NOTHING has changed.  I have officially given up, but it's ok- because I hold all the cards - her 3 month old GD and her son, who is starting to see her for her true colors more and more.

        Signed - DIL of the BEAST
