I have heard a lot of
MIL stories. But I have never heard one as gross and mind boggling
as mine. It all started before we were dating, I guess. DH was
my brother's best friend, so I got to see a lot of different sides
to him. Only one really bothered me, though. THE COMMENTS ABOUT
HIS MOTHER. He had seen his mom in the shower, and commented on
her body. Or, we were all talking about getting tattoos. He was
19 at the time, and told all of us that he had to ask him mommy
first. WHAT???? We all had the same friends, it was nice, but
I always heard things that I didn't want to. We dated for a while.
I saw tons of red flags in the comments that she would make or how
she acted. I first knew that she was absolutely crazy when she
called my DH while we were on a date and balled her eyes out. She
kept saying, "You love her and your friends more than you love
me." Ok, hold on. Does a mother not know that she is not
the only one involved in his life? I ignored plenty of obvious
signs like that. She would always bring up his ex and all that
fun stuff. We announced that we were getting married. Everything
was fine. His little sister was going to be my flower girl, and
it was all set up. My wedding shower came and that went OK She
kept making comments about how much she was going to miss her baby
boy, how cute he was, blah, blah, blah. A few days after the shower
DH got a phone call from his GM. When he got to his GM's house
to talk, she asked for all the Christmas gifts back that I had received
from his mother. She said that none of the family were going to
the wedding because they had heard a rumor about me. The rumor
was that I didn't like the tea set his mom gave me at the shower.
IT WAS A LIE!!!! What makes it so funny is that a few weeks before
the shower the cousin who made up the rumor lied about his mom,
and she even told me, "You can't trust my niece." And
that's who she believed? So, I called his mom to try to work things
out. I called and said, "Hi, How are you? I just wanted to
call and figure out what was going on." Needless to say, I
didn't have to call her at all, but I did. She said, "You're
a spoiled little b!tch, and I hate you. I'm going to punch you
in the face. He needs his ex-GF. She is better." Then, she
called MY mom just to call her a spoiled little b!tch. Then I knew
that it was beyond crazy. She told me on the phone that my DH was
the father of the little sister that she'd had 2 years ago. I was
so disturbed. But I got married anyway. Needless to say, none
of them came and we have not heard from them in over a year.

When I first met my MIL,
I actually liked her. It was when my DH and I tried to plan a wedding
(where my DH's family lives) that things started to get bad. My
future SMIL never liked me (in fact, she called me a gold digger,
even though there's no gold to dig for and I was supporting my DH
at the time). Nevertheless, my MIL had the nerve to say, "It
doesn't matter if your family shows, it's not like that's really
important." She's done a lot of things over the years. DH
and I have been together for 6 years, and married for 4. She forgot
my birthday, and when my DH confronted her (she also forgot my DD's
birthday, so this wasn't a surprise), she said, "I won't give
her a present because she didn't get anyone anything for Christmas.
She doesn't get a present because her birthday is the closest to
Christmas. Just luck of the draw." DH has been unemployed
a lot over the years, and we honestly didn't give anyone presents.
Needless to say, neither of us are speaking to her, and my opinion
of her is that she is lower than dirt. She emailed my DH just a
few days after her little comment. She said that DH's grandfather
(whom I love to pieces) is having the signs of congestive heart
failure. DH didn't take her word for it and called his grandfather
to hear for himself. Grandfather isn't doing well, but is not on
a deathbed. Then, she left a message on our answering machine,
"Oh, your grandfather just needs new medicine. He'll be okay.
It was sweet of you to call him, and we'll talk later." I
do hate manipulators.

Worst gift: MIL is so
caring and so loving, but not for me, only for my SIL and the children
of my SIL. In my marriage she gave me gold bangles, gold necklace,
and gold payal. After fifteen days of marriage, she told me to
give her back all the jewelry that she gave me. She said, "It
is not for you. It's mine. I gave this to you only to show off
to our relatives. I will give it to my DD. She likes it very much.
Just go and do your work. Don't say anything about this to my DH
or your DH. You are living in my home, so you have to live according
to me."
Signed - No More Tears
