My poor pitiful MIL came
to my DD's first birthday party. The next day she called and boo
hooed to DH about there not being a picture of HER in MY scrapbook
that I had let the guests look at to see her first year. I guess
she missed the part about it being MY scrapbook. She then cried
because my parents had a picture of themselves with DD on their
table in the living room. She never said anything about wanting
a picture with DD until now. Now she HAS to have one. Cow. I
so hate her.

At my then future SILs
wedding 8 years ago, I was not included in any family portraits.
My DF was a groomsman, and instead of having me stand with him in
the photos, they chose his best friend. Six weeks later at our
wedding she showed up with an album full of her wedding photos to
show guests who had not been able to attend her wedding. Also,
her DH could not attend my wedding due to work, so she had my DH's
former crush sit next to her in the front row. This young lady
is his best friend's sister, and only invited as an afterthought.
Also, the ex-crush held her screaming 1 year old child on her lap.
We could barely hear the minister. I was very hurt by her actions,
but nobody seemed to notice or care. Years later she seems to have
accepted me, but I don't think I will ever forget how she tried
to ruin my big day.

This is my first visit
to this site, and want to say how wonderful it is! I have been
married for 15 years now, and I actually have a SMIL story. My
FIL is great, but he is remarried. At first I thought the SMIL
was pretty nice. I forgot to mention that she is very religious,
as well. Anyway, lately things have not been that great. The first
problem I encountered with the SMIL was baby-sitting. She wanted
to baby-sit my children so badly while both DH and I work. Fine.
My kids were all for it because they liked her so much. Well, all
of a sudden my kids didn't want to go. I couldn't figure this out.
One weekend when I worked 7 days (a Sunday and grave yard shift),
my middle son woke me up crying. DS walked home when he was supposed
to be at the store because he didn't want to go to church. While
I was sleeping, she came in my house, grabbed my son by his arm
and yanked his hair because he refused to go to church. I am not
one who makes my kids go to church, and she knew this. She then
called me complaining about it and expected him to do work around
her house to make up for that as a punishment. I refused it, of
course. Ever since that incident things have been sour. Instead
of my kids going to her house to be baby-sat, she came to my house.
I came to find out that she was leaving in the middle of the night
to go home and go to bed while my kids were alone! Of course I
said something to her, but she insisted that my kids were old enough
to be alone at that time. At the time my kids were younger than
14 years old (all a year and a half apart). I found another baby-sitter.
Then there was a family reunion on DH's side of the family. We
called SMIL to find out what she wanted us to bring, since she was
hosting this. She said, "Just bring yourselves. There will
be plenty, since you and DH both work graveyard." So, we did
that. We got there and right away she asked what we had brought.
I told her, "Nothing, because you said to just bring ourselves."
She screamed in front of DH's whole family, "YOU NEVER BRING
ANYTHING!" I got in her face. DH knew that I was going to
snap, and said to her, "I DON'T WANT YOUR FOOD. I WILL EAT
IN THE AMUSEMENT PARK!" We left to enjoy ourselves at the
amusement park. Recently, we attended SIL's step DD's birthday
party. Everything was fine until SMIL started complaining about
my boys' hair. She said that they needed hair cuts. They are teens,
and I told her, "When they want one, they can get one."
She stated that I am the parent, and I ought to make them. I told
her that they are my kids, let them alone. Then she told me that
I need to make my kids go to church all the time. I am not a church
person, and I always taught my kids that you don't have to sit in
a church to be a believer, and it is their choice. She didn't like
me telling them that, but that is MY BELIEF. They made their choices
not to sit in a church. My DH has always been treated differently
than his sisters. I get so sick of that, too. The ILs paid for
their weddings and everything else. If they need something, they
are always there for them. I love my FIL, but it's the other half
that I am not liking. I avoid these people as much as possible,
and now my kids are all seeing what I have seen for years. She
claims that she is religious, but to me she isn't being very religious.
She judges people all the time in sarcastic ways, especially my
DH and me. My FIL pretty much stays out of it. I don't blame him.
I don't need advice, but I just wanted to share my story.
Signed - DIL With SMIL
