It all started before
we even got married. First, MIL, let's call her Evil B!tch From
He!! (EBFH), wouldn't let us set a wedding date for a year and a
half because something was always popping up, or her family members
from overseas couldn't make it, or she was very busy on the farm
at that particular time (despite being retired and having someone
else working on said farm). Then, finally, the wedding date got
sorted. Three months before the wedding, when everything was set
to go ahead in my home country, she had it all called off because
she wanted it in her country. This was because she had always dreamed
of having all her children married in there, and none of the other
3 did. Then, she organized the wedding. I didn't even get to do
that. All the people that she knew - I wouldn't go as far as calling
them friends, since she didn't have any interaction with them at
a personal level, were invited, and she arranged a lavish lunch
at a pricey hotel at my father's expense. I must say though, it
did look nice. Pity that the MC was handed a 15 minute speech that
she and her DD had prepared to be read out loud. Incidentally,
it didn't mention my DH or me at all. It was all about her life!!
Yes, I certainly got a heads up on my wedding day, but there was
so, so much more to come.

Two days ago FIL told us that he and MIL had gotten us a gift!!!!
Wow, were we surprised. A spontaneous gift has never happened
in all our 18 years of marriage. They handed DH an envelope
and inside was a dvd. About Global Warming. Well, we
looked at it, and looked at each other. We thought, "Ok,
not really what we were expecting. But it is a serious issue,
so we will watch it." We thanked them graciously, as
they expected, and thought nothing more of it. I mentioned
it this morning to a friend, and she said that her parents had a
copy of the same dvd - because it came free with a magazine.
Well, now it all makes sense. It didn't cost them anything
and they didn't want it, so they gave it to us. Gee, thanks.
It never ceases to amaze me how they have enough money to travel
back and forth to their holiday apartment at least twice a year,
plus they had another holiday abroad as well last year. They
go to the theater, shows, exhibitions, etc., all the time, and they
hate to spend any money on their kids and grandchildren. If
it was a freebie, why not just admit it and give it to us like normal
people. Why did we have to go through this dramatic and bountiful
presentation? They leave me . . .

DH was sick and our humidifier
wasn't working. MIL said, and I quote, "DIL, you should just
simmer a pot of water on the stove. It does the same thing. And,
since you NEVER use the stove anyway, it's not like it will be in
your way." Ugh.
