Frequent
Fry Her TM.
- LovingMyBabies, 1 of 4 needed
/Posted:18-JAN-07
This is not about my MIL or FIL (they are both sweet, kind people),
but my own parents. For a little bit of background, my dad
died when I was young, and I never really knew him. My mom
ended up getting married three times after this. The first
time I was too young to really care much. The second time
she was married for ten years to a great guy (we still keep in contact
and he loves my DH). She is currently on her third marriage.
She's been married to my SF since I was a teenager. This one
has had a serious drinking problem for years, and my sister and
I didn't like being around that. Due to the problems at home,
we both ended up getting married at a young age, barely out of high
school. My BIL is a great guy, who takes great care of my
sister. My DH swept me off my feet, and we've been together
for 7 years now. Yes, he is a good deal older than I am (10
years), but the age difference has never been a problem. Now,
with the story: We got engaged on my college graduation day.
When we went to tell my dm and SF, dm sat there and did nothing
but make rude and extremely mean comments about my DF. SF
did nothing to stop her. I stood up and told her that as long
as she felt that way, we wouldn't be seeing her. DH and I
left, and I was very much upset. Two years later she has left
messages on birthdays and holidays, but only to me, not to DH.
He tells me that I shouldn't be so upset over this, but I am.
Now, with the birth of our first child being only 4 months away,
I don't know what to do. I want my mother to be involved in
this child's life, but not if she can't respect my DH. I don't
want her to be around. What should I do?

Driving Me Nuts!!

We spent this past Christmas
with MIL, FIL, and SIL. We were planning on telling them what
we thought was exciting news, that we had finally bought the new
home that we had been working towards for several years. When
DH said that he had news to share with the family, MIL piped up
with, "Oh great, so she's pregnant and now I'm going to be
stuck taking care of both of you AND your baby." Pretty
interesting comment, since we're in our mid 30's, both in professional
careers and never ask or expect anything from her or FIL.
In fact, it's more the other way around, as many of you readers
also experience. Anyway, as fate would have it, we just found
out that I am pregnant and was (barely) even when MIL made her feelings
known. Well, that is coming back to bite her on the @ss, because
we aren't going to bother telling her about her first GC.
We don't see them often anyway, so I think I can avoid her seeing
my growing belly, possibly even until after the birth. We
wouldn't want her to feel burdened by our happy news, now would
we?

Worst gift: I know that
this site is all about MILs, but I'll tell you about the gifts my
ACTUAL GRANDMOTHER gets us. She isn't extremely wealthy, but
she definitely has the money to buy halfway decent gifts for her
GKs. The situation is that she is very deceptive and plainly
disgusting. She hits on all of my BFs, and complains about
anything you do for her. This past Xmas my "grammy"
knew that my DF and I were going to her house for Xmas. When
we got there, I walked through the door along with my 14 year old
brother, then my DF. She hugged my brother and me, and then
handed a huge box of chocolates to my DF and kissed him for about
3 seconds right next to his mustache!! (I felt so bad, as
he only met her one other time and he was very uncomfortable around
her). Then, she turned to my brother and me and said, "Did
you get my cards in the mail? I know it wasn't a lot, but
I hope you appreciate it ANYWAY," with this real nasty tone.
My brother and I had received a joint Xmas card two weeks after
Xmas, with two dollar coins in it. Yes, that's right, plain
old circa '99 and '01 dollar coins!!
