When I was planning my
wedding, I told MIL that my bridesmaids and I found beautiful dresses.
I described the store and the dresses to her. We weren't sure if
we were going to get them yet, though. The next week she was so
excited that she bought her mother of the groom dress and she had
to show it to me. Of course, it was the same dress and color that
I was looking at for my bridesmaids. She then asked me if I liked
it, and if it was okay. When I didn't say much, she got upset and
I spent the next half hour comforting her that it was indeed okay
that she bought the dresses that I was looking at for my bridesmaids.
Oh, and for the church ceremony she wore an off white ensemble,
the exact color of my dress. She thinks she's the best MIL ever.
I let her think that.

I've been married for
nearly two years, and since I moved to this house, which is next
to my IL's house, I haven't had a peaceful weekend with my DH.
Every weekend, and many days during the week, my SILs and BILs come
to our house, without any notice, and play cards with my DH till
midnight. Last year when I was pregnant, they used to come, smoke,
play cards without even asking me to join, and then leave without
washing a dish or a glass. The house was left a mess. I just can't
rest or sleep because of their loud voices. Their children dominate
the computer and the TV. None of them considered that we were newlyweds
and wanted to enjoy the weekend alone. Nor did they consider that
I was pregnant. Even when I reached the ninth month, nothing changed.
I spoke to my DH many times. He told me that they come without
telling him, and he can't ask them to leave once they are here.
The problem is that we can't even pretend that we're out of the
house because my MIL and FIL simply tell them that we're at the
house. I've spent every weekend in the bedroom crying. They treat
my DH in a well, so he feels ashamed to ask them to leave, or to
not come to our house.

My MIL lives in another
country, so we don't see her often. However, the guilt trips still
come over the phone. My DH is such a sap, and he falls for it every
time. No matter what I say or do, or don't do, he gets upset with
me because I'm harsh on her, when she's a poor widow. She phoned
up last week saying that she wanted to come visit in a week's time,
but wanted us to pay for half the air ticket. DH initially said
no, because we're not doing too well financially. But, now he said
yes, less than a week later. I'm so irritated with both of them
because she guilt's him with, "You know all my brothers and
sisters died before they were 60. Now I'm 61, so I could die anytime
now." On her last visit she even told him who the coffin bearers
were to be. She is a very impulsive woman and doesn't have a home
of her own. She flits between her DD's and a retirement home, miles
away from each other. She wastes her pension money on this unnecessary
travel. Then, when she wants to visit us, she comes with her hands
out for money. I'm sick of DH giving in to her and of her begging.
She'll be here in January at my expense, and I've already told DH
that I'll be at work the entire visit. I'm so tired of him believing
her over me, when she has been proven to be a selfish, backstabbing,
2-faced user.
