Two years ago at Thanksgiving
our family spent the holiday at a vacation destination with relatives.
This getaway had been planned eight months in advance. We were
invited, but the hosts brother and SIL (my ILs were not). No one
in the family gets along with them anyway. They make everyone uncomfortable,
and they are RUDE. Everything is about them, or so they think.
Well, after the holiday they found out that there had been a family
gathering to which they were not invited (in the past they have
been invited to weddings, funerals and birthdays, but they always
decline). They became furious with my DH and me for not inviting
them. First of all, no one is obligated to invite anyone to anything,
just because they are family. And second, it was not our gathering
to invite guests to. My MIL, who thinks she is an etiquette expert,
should know this. These people do not get along with anyone. MIL
is the worst of the two, but FIL allows it. They have alienated
themselves from immediate family, extended family, and family friends.
This has gone on for over 30 years, but they cannot figure out what
the problem is. They think that it is everyone else, but the problem
is them!

Worst gift: When DH
and I bought our first house, my MIL bought a bunch of groceries
to help out. She got upset with me because she thought that I didn't
appreciate the gesture. So she took everything back, except 2 cans
of spam. To this day the spam is the only gift that we've received
for the house that we bought 12 years ago.

Worst gift: I have two
children with my DH. They are 13 months apart. I wouldn't change
that for the world. For my birthday my DH was out of town on a
business trip. We were going to celebrate when he got back. My
MIL got me something for my birthday. I wish she wouldn't have.
She got me a year's supply of birth control, and a card that read,
"You really need to think about getting your tubes tied."
A lot of nerve, huh?
