What is wrong with these
MILs? I just don't get it at all! I have to spend 5 days with my
MIL and her new husband, my FIL and his 3 "new" kids,
and then my DH's brother and new DF. I will be with them for 5
days, traveling back and forth to each house, since they are divorced.
I have never spent 5 days with them and I PRAY (and I am not very
religious) that I will make it without saying how stupid, crazy,
racist, anti-women, etc., they truly are. My MIL says things like,
"Is this where the (race) people live?" and "Wow,
they sure have a lot of (people from a particular country) working
on this house." I am like, why do you think this is OK to say
or think that? IT IS NOT! I am a smart woman with an MBA, and
they are totally threatened. I also am not afraid to give my opinions,
and they don't like that much, either. Now that we have a son,
they want all sorts of time with him. I am like, "NO WAY!"
In my mind the holidays are over, as it is not Christmas in their
house at all. Finally, my family gets to get dragged around to
4 houses on Christmas Day, with a toddler. WHAT? No. I have tried
to mitigate my visit this time. I have sent a food basket of good
food, as the stuff they serve has at least 1,000 mg of sodium in
each bite. This way, if I think to say something that they don't
like, I will reach for a cookie. I may gain 5 pounds, but it will
be worth it. I will be packing lots of comfy pants for my expanding
waistline. I will also have to feign sickness if my MIL wants to
watch my child by herself. Last time she did that, he almost fell
into a cabinet of knives. Her response was, "Boys need to
explore." I said, "Not into a cabinet of knives and get
hurt." What? I know many of you are going through the same
thing. AND I try to put myself in her shoes, as one day I will
be the MIL, but the things she does are crazy. Did I mention that
when she doesn't like to hear any negative comments on the phone,
she just hangs up! Very mature. Really. I will draw from our
common strength this holiday season and wish everyone the best.
We will need all the help we can get!!!! Looking forward to 2007!

My MIL is such a control freak! She has to
control where and when anyone does anything! If my MIL could control
when people go to the washroom, she would. Ever heard the saying,
"What's good for the goose is good for the gander?" Not
in MIL land. MIL is the goose and no one, and I mean no one can
ever question what she does. The ganders are her maids, waiting
on her hand and foot. My MIL is so lazy that if she could have
someone spoon feed her, she would. And, the ironic thing is that
she is always worried about what people think. If I was a lying,
trashy, lazy, dirty selfish slob, I really would not be concerned
about how people look at me. The sad thing is that no one knows
what my MIL is really like. No one sees how much she drinks, or
yells, or lies. She has gotten her acting down so well that she
could win an Emmy. She is actually so lazy that she forces other
people to lie for her. I am just so sick of it. Long will she
rein, my . . .

My MIL sent me a get well
card with lots of writing on it, and none of it in English. She
knows that I can't speak her language very well, and I can hardly
read it typed, much less decipher her handwriting. She's never
written anything to me before in her language. She's always written
in English! Honestly, I was actually on the phone with DH when
I opened the mail. When I opened the card and told him that I couldn't
read anything, he just said an almost embarrassed, "Sorry."
I really wouldn't think anything of this, except that she always
seems to do things deliberately, just to upset me and leave me out.
