Worst gift:  I am so frustrated with my ILs.  I always go out of my way to buy them very nice Christmas gifts and always acknowledge birthdays with at least a card and nice phone call.  Well, here passes yet another birthday without so much as a friggin' card.  So I have decided to take back all of their Christmas gifts and get them what I really want to.  MIL:  I am taking back the beautiful presents I worked so hard to pick out and am giving you something that you can really use - a beard and mustache trimmer!  Seriously, how can you not see your mountain-man mustache?  There is one hair, especially, that dangles over your lip.  It is all I can do to keep my food down when I see it flapping in the breeze as you nag at me.  FIL:  Well, you were a little more difficult, but I think I have found something you will love.  2 gifts actually.  A bag of sugar and a yardstick.  The bag of sugar is to throw into your mouth whenever the sour face comes out when you hear that something good has happened to your only son!  The yardstick is to be used to slap your face whenever you start running your son into the dirt!  OK, maybe that should be my present to myself, because slapping your big old head will be lovely.  SIL:  I have decided to get you something you have probably never heard of:  Condoms.  Since you seem more interested in getting laid than actually finishing high school, I think you should at least protect "us" from ever having to deal with your offspring.

frequent fry her - mommyonamission, 3 of 4 needed Frequent Fry Her TM - mommyonamission, 2 of 4 needed/Posted: 27-DEC-06
About a month ago my DH and I needed some legal documents notarized, in a hurry.  So, my bright DH called my evil MIL and asked her if she knew of a notary.  She knows a lot of people in our county.  First off, I reamed my DH for contacting the "Beyond Nosey, has to know everything, gossiping, etc. MIL".  I told him that it was NONE of her business as to why we needed the notary, etc.  Wouldn't you know it, the first thing she asked was, "What do you need a notary for?"  I was proud of DH for NOT telling her!  But, later that day we dropped some things off at her house and she started her probing.  She didn't ask my DH a thing because she knew that he wouldn't budge, but OOOHHHHH did she try to work it out of me.  It started off, "Is everything ok?"  Then, when I told her that everything was fine, she persisted, "Well, is there something I can do?  Are you sure you guys are ok?"  The woman just makes me want to puke!  She has no GENUINE concern for me or my family whatsoever, and she has proven that time and time again.  She just wanted to know, the nosey b!tch!  A couple of months ago my DH and I had told my MIL that she could have a couple of couches that we were getting rid of.  She was happy about that because all of her furniture is basically cr@p.  I phoned her yesterday to let her know that we would be by later this afternoon to bring them and help her get the old furniture out.  She told me that she was just not ready for them, but she guessed that that would be fine.  This was coming from a person who works 2 days a week, for 4 hours at a time!  I told her that we needed to get them out of our home because I had my "new" furniture delivered today.  Boy did that sound the alarm with her, lol.  "I didn't know you were getting new furniture!", she said in a whiny voice.  That's right MIL, dear, and why the he!! should you know every little nook and cranny about my grown life?  What a nosey and ungrateful B!TCH!

( I want my own Frequent Fry Her TM Page )

This story isn't of my own MIL (although she has really amazed me with some of her stunts).  This is about my DHs youngest sister and her MIL.  My SIL had a baby boy with her H (not "dear" husband).  The baby had to have open-heart surgery when he was only 7 days old.  After 2.5 months in the NICU, he was finally allowed to come home with explicit instructions that he see his cardiologist if he so much as sneezed wrong.  Over the next 6.5 years there were 3 more open-heart surgeries and numerous other surgeries/procedures.  By this time SIL and BIL had a baby girl and the MIL had convinced my SIL to sign over custody of her DS (only), saying that she could take better care of him while my SIL went back to school (she really just wanted his SS check!).  A few months later there was a stomach flu going through school and my DN began complaining that his stomach was hurting really bad.  She ignored him, assuming it was this virus.  Now remember, he's supposed to see his cardiologist for any kind of illness.  She let him suffer this stomach ache for 2 days before finally taking him to the hospital (really small town, no clinics, just a hospital an hour away).  When they got to the hospital, she reported him as having a stomach flu and never mentioned his heart condition.  After 30+ minutes in the waiting room my DN told her, "Granny, I'm not going to make it through this,"  He threw up and collapsed.  He didn't have the stomach flu - he was having a heart attack for 2 days.  Although the doctors worked on DN for a long time, they were never able to bring him back.  A month after the funeral we found out that BIL had a GF the whole time SIL was pregnant and MIL knew all about it!  Almost 4 years later, BIL and MIL have had no contact with any of us, not even the new baby, and my SIL still has severe problems blaming herself for her son's death.  Every year on his birthday we have a party and release balloons for him - he would have been 10 this year.
