I regret so much that
I let my bitter and jealous SIL ruin the first three years of my
marriage. Her constant rude comments, usually spoken under her
breath, where only I could hear, and my DH's complete inability
to stand up to her drove me insane. Eventually I knew that I would
have to tell her off, and when I did, it felt so good. Granted,
she did not speak to us for almost 14 months, but I showed her that
I would not put up with her cr@p. Now we still are not friends,
but she respects my place in her brother's life, and I actually
enjoy her company. I hope that other women can learn from this
and not let nasty ILs ruin their happy times. You can never have
them back.

Worst gift: DH and I
have been married for 23 years. Not once, in all that time,
has my MIL acknowledged our anniversary. No cards, no gifts,
no phone call, no emails. Nothing. My BILs and their
wives have followed suit. Not only have they failed to even
send an anniversary card, they never recognize my birthday or give
me a gift at Christmas. I don't want much, just a lousy card
recognizing that I'm alive. A $25 gift certificate from a
book store would send me into paroxysms of joy. But that will
never happen. Before we were married my MIL told my BIL that
the marriage wouldn't last six months. WRONG, b!tch!
It's been 23 years and we're happy as clams at high tide.
The only fly in the ointment is my horrid MIL, her nasty sons, and
the rude freaks they married. I buy nice gifts for all of
them - birthday, Christmas and anniversaries. I never get
a damn thing. They give my husband and our son gifts, but
I am always overlooked. I finally wised up (after more than
20 years of this cr@p) and now I no longer attend family gatherings.
Screw 'em all. I am much happier hanging out at the hotel,
enjoying room service and relaxing in the hot tub than I am going
to my MIL's house and witnessing the insanity. And what did
I do to deserve this treatment? Nothing, as far as I can tell.
My MIL is extremely jealous and competitive, and she hates the fact
that her precious first born son has a life apart from her.
What a dingbat! I can't wait for her funeral. I already
have my tap shoes polished.

Worst gift: The worst
gift I ever received was a snow globe from my stepmother.
I was a little surprised because normally she gives me some great
gifts. That year I had just split up from my DH and had just
moved into my own apartment. There were so many other things
that I would have liked, but apparently she felt the snow globe
was just the thing I needed. The story has a happy ending
for the snow globe. It had sat up in my closet for about five
years when my oldest DD saw it and squealed, "Oh mom, I just
LOVE snow globes!" I couldn't give it to her fast enough.
So now my unwanted gift has a new home. My DD has her new
snow globe and I have a funny story!
Signed - Glad It Worked
Out OK
