UPDATE: We had a miscarriage
again this past month, and all MIL said to DW was, "Are you
coming over tomorrow (to help with the kitchen)?" Are you
freaking kidding me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Original story: DW is the
oldest child (32). She has 2 younger brothers (28 and 25). The
other day my DW found an old 6th grade report card of hers. She
showed me her A's and E's (for excellent). Her mom chimed in with,
"Do you know who used to get straight A's?" I asked,
and she told me it was brother (28). This guy lived at home, working
in a warehouse until he joined the Marines at age 25. I can respect
that, as I joined the Marines when I was 18 and served until I was
26. He had a couple of DUI's and wrecked cars. It was all I could
do to not lose it and say, "Your daughter has 2 Bachelor degrees,
no thanks to any financial support from you, and a great paying
job." Yet, the parents paid the Marine brother's car insurance
for the month of December. Mind you, this was after we donated
a reliable, low operating cost vehicle to him and he sold it to
buy a sports car (which equals higher insurance, registration, etc.).
And I bet you didn't know this, but, "Brother 25 has a CD with
a barcode on it!" He just got married, rents a house with
his wife and some other people, but hey he has a CD. Like every
other hack band out there doesn't have a CD. I am sick and tired
of always hearing about the 2 deadbeat brothers and never hearing
a nice thing about my wife out of her mouth. Last summer the ILs
ran into some financial/legal trouble. In an effort to help her
parents through the storm (AGAIN), DW assumed the role of accountant.
She is strict when it comes to fiscal responsibility, and I love
her for it. So, every other week my wife would pay their bills
and divvy out the spending cash and grocery money in an effort to
keep things on track and to prevent further financial loss to her
parents. I never heard a thank you from MIL. Yesterday, DW asked
a simple question and all he!! broke loose. The conversation went
like this: DW: Why are these boxes down? MIL: I am looking for
something. Wife: What? MIL stated that she was looking for a
settlement document. DW: I have a copy of that. Instead of being
content with the fact that a copy is available, MIL lost it completely,
ranting and raving about, "I don't come to your house and take
your paperwork." No kidding, maybe that's because we don't
have you paying our bills. We don't need your help to mail out
legal documents in a timely/organized fashion. Take into consideration
that I was in the garage cutting out a sink hole in the new countertop
to go in the new kitchen that we/I have been working on for 3 weeks.
The 2 brothers have not raised a hand to help. The Marine was home
for a week and didn't help once. He barely spent time with his
family, except for Christmas Day.

I am getting married in
October 2007. FMIL is already driving me crazy. We went to get
fitted for tuxes and she wanted to know whether she could get the
deposit back if we decided not to get married. She asks my FDH
almost every day if he is sure that he wants to get married. FDH
had his gallbladder taken out in December, and she says that it
was because of all the wedding stuff. He still lives at home with
his parents (until the wedding). I don't know if she is just upset
about him moving out or what, but she already has us married and
divorced, and I have taken half of everything (which is nothing).
Hopefully, I can make it to October.

Worst gift: For our
5th anniversary MIL invited the family over for a BBQ. She handed
us our gift in front of everyone, and DH opened it. All I saw was
this long board and the most horrified look on DH's face. It was
a wall hanging, about 35" long, with hooks on it. It had HUGE
lettering that stated: "EXCUSE OUR MESS, BUT WE LIVE HERE".
What kind of gift is that?! My house is not messy! I'm a SAHM,
I home school all of them, and I'm a neat freak! Everything has
a place/a place for everything.
