- sickandtired 4 of 4 /Posted: 4-JAN-07
My MIL's second DH has been enduring her for
about 24 years. Most of our holidays are spent with his family
(her father lives far away and there is no contact there, and her
mother and stepfather are deceased). She has just one sibling and
usually isn't speaking to him. Anyway, we usually spend the holidays
with SFIL's family. They are great people, as is he, and I feel
truly proud and honored to be a part of that family. They're the
kind who would give you the shirts off their backs in subzero weather,
but still respect boundaries. They don't believe that if they help
you, then you owe them. I love them. Anyway, my MIL usually shows
up three hours late, or not at all. We all live in the same population
3,000 town, so everyone is pretty much within 2 miles of DH's step-GPs'
home. His mother will either be sick that day, or she'll say, "Well,
I just haven't got around yet." Usually, she doesn't show,
but makes her DH leave the gathering to take her a plate of food
(she doesn't cook, except for easy-mac, ramen noodles, or pudding
- oh, and the pills that she pops). Unfortunately, the pill thing
isn't a joke. She carries a gallon sized resealable bag full of
prescription drugs in her purse, and always offers her goods to
people when they don't feel well (i.e., vicodin for a headache,
no kidding). Sick. One Christmas, we all met for breakfast like
always, between 8 or 9. GM would have a whole breakfast feast laid
out. She's great. Anyway, the younger grandkids were all (actually
very patiently) waiting to open presents, but "mamaw"
wasn't there yet. So, we called her. She said, "Oh, I'm just
getting in the bath. It's going to be a while." So, an hour
went by (now, she was 3 hours late), so we called again. She said,
"Just tell the kids to wait a little while longer, I'll be
there in a little bit" It was about an hour later when she
showed up. SIL (her kids are the little ones) acted like it was
no big deal, that's just her mom. I felt bad for those kids. This
is a regular occurrence. But, when her brother doesn't show up
to something, she and SIL scream and disown him. She will say,
"How can you miss MY grandkid's _______?" "How can
you miss MY kid's _______?" "How come you didn't do ________
for MY _________?" It's all MY_____ MY______ MY_______ ,with
no regards to how it made the grandkids or kids feel (which they
usually don't make a big deal about it). She's probably the most
selfish person I've ever met.

MIL has not gotten gifts for my 2 oldest DDs or me in 3 years.
The past 2 years she only bought gifts for my DH and our youngest
DD (my oldest 2 are his stepchildren). Now this year, zip for all
of us (unless she's saving them for a rainy day). The irony??
SIL called today to let DH know that MIL is griping to everyone
in the family about how he allegedly called her and asked her what
really cheap gift we could buy for her (he actually called and asked
her what kind of liquor FIL likes, not sure how she made that leap!).
WTF?? She's yelling and screaming about how we MIGHT be thinking
of buying her a "cheap" gift, yet she bought her own DS
NOTHING. And her GC, NOTHING. This woman has decided that we spend
thousands on gifts for my father (thousands, puh-lease), but next-to-nothing
on her family. BTW, she talks to nobody in my family, not sure
where her "insider info" on the gift tallies comes from.

I had the worst end of
the year holiday season ever. For Christmas Eve my MIL let my BIL
cuss me out and argue with me. Not only did she allow that, but
she started in on me, also. Not to mention, I am 4 months pregnant.
So that night sucked. I went to bed crying and woke up Christmas
morning and spent the entire day and night with my family. By the
way I lived with MIL and BIL. She was mad that DH, the kids and
I were gone Christmas Day, and she made the week he!! for us. We
moved out at the end of the week because I just couldn't take it
anymore, and DH was ready to explode on them. So for New Years
we were told that we couldn't go over because they were all going
out of town on a FAMILY trip. So, we made other plans. That night
they called, wished my DH a happy new year, and, of course, left
me out. Of course, they were all at home!
