FMIL had us summoned to discuss what she thinks our life should be.  There was no way to convince her that her son actually wanted to marry me.  We had two kids and bought a house first.  She tried to tell me that I should move out and get on welfare so that we could save more money for a bigger wedding.  She told my DF that I was a manipulator, and that manipulation is witchcraft!!  For the first time in 8 years my FH told her that he was going to marry me, and if she didn't like it, she should ?#!& OFF!!  She is still constantly putting us down, but much less, and doesn't call me a witch anymore.  It's been 7 years since then, 15 years total.

I'll start with the fact that my MIL is obsessed with my DD.  I came home from a night out, and the baby-sitter told me that my MIL had picked up my DD.  However, we were not speaking at the time.  I went to my MIL's house at 11 pm to get my DD, only my MIL wasn't there, nor was my DD!  It was near the 4th of July, but in my panicked state I had forgotten.  I was about 1 minute away from calling the authorities when she pulled up.  I opened the car door, took my DD and left without saying a word.  MIL didn't say a word, either.  I don't know what she was thinking, but with everything else she has done, she is lucky she didn't go to jail.  She likes to play dumb, but someday it will get her into trouble.

Today, my MIL sent an email with a suggestion to "have brunch" in between two church services that she is attending on Christmas EVE.  I am specifying EVE for a reason.  I responded that we would be happy to have brunch, and that she should just pick the place, because she knows the area near her church.  She called my DH and said, "I thought you people were trying to save money?"  My DH was completely confused.  Then she said that there won't be any place open on Christmas.  My DH said, "What are you talking about?"  She denied suggesting a brunch and said that it was all my idea.  And, why are we going out to eat on Christmas?  My DH finally got her on track, but it took him an hour on the phone to get her to understand that she was the one causing the confusion.
