This is just an update
on my FABULOUS MIL. After the lovely Xmas gift and the comments,
she again visited us one day after a football match and, yep, once
again gave DH two gifts and me none. This is fine, but why does
she feel the need to always comment on it. She gave DH the 2 gifts
and then after 5 minutes said to me, "Oh, I was going to get
you something, but next time I'll get something for you."
It makes me feel as if she 's always apologizing for her bad behavior
because she knows exactly what she does!!! I need your help. What
are good (respectful) comeback lines to use on MIL (so I don't become
the meanie like her) whenever she: A) Does that whole bad gift/no
gift apology (always appearing sooooo sincere in front of DH).
B) Makes comments about my appearance, zits, etc. (remember, she
puts across her comments as jokes ha ha). Please see my earlier
postings under this same heading. I am just soooo completely fed
up with pretentious MIL!!! I wouldn't mind if she were outright
mean, but the whole deceptive niceness with subtle insults sucks!!
HELP!!

My MIL and FIL continue to be idiots. MIL
and FIL have a gas stove in their kitchen. Several other appliances
in their home are also powered by gas. Several months ago MIL detected
a gas leak, which is a good thing. It took the local gas company
literally several months to come and fix the leak. In the meantime,
FIL was also trying to fix the leak on his own. They got tired
of making meals in their microwave or eating out after several weeks.
So, what do they decide to do, in all of their brilliance? Instead
of something practical (i.e., buying a small electric hot plate
or using an outdoor barbecue grill), they rigged up a gas stove
in their kitchen. They found an OUTDATED propane gas tank in the
back of a barn located on their property, one without the standard
warnings and safety valves that you find nowadays. Also, it is
illegal to refill this type. The tank was actually fairly large,
bigger than the ones you find on a barbecue grill. They put this
rusty old propane tank INSIDE their kitchen. They put a wire "ring"
stand over it. They placed a WOK on the ring stand. They kept
having to re-light the propane tank since the gas kept "going
out" on them. And they cooked CHRISTMAS DINNER on that rigged
contraption while the smoke alarms kept going off. CAN WE SAY POTENTIAL
EXPLOSION HAZARD???!!! Any idiot can tell you that it is DANGEROUS
to have propane tanks inside the house, much less rusty old ones
with no safety valves. Not only can it explode, but you can get
carbon monoxide poisoning from this! DH assured me that his engineer
father "knew what he was doing", but I am not so sure.
I should have called the fire department on them. They just simply
have no respect for safety, and I absolutely will not leave my children
alone in their care.

I hate my MIL. While we were having the Christmas
dinner, referenced in the above FFH story (cooked atop illegally
rigged propane gas stove), which, by the way, consisted of a horrible
array of stir fried vegetables (FOR CHRISTMAS!!! FOR GOD'S SAKE
- COULDN'T YOU JUST ORDER A HONEY BAKED HAM?!?!). DH and I both
mentioned how stressed we were at work. DH works practically 24/7
in a new entrepreneurial venture, and I work long days and oftentimes
don't get home until eight or nine in the evening. Between that
and our charitable activities (and actually trying to find some
time to be with one another), we decided that it was time to hire
somebody to help us clean the house. Sure, it's a little pricey,
but we really value our sanity and our time with one another, and
we were both agreeable to it. So, when this popped up over dinner,
MIL (who is as cheap as polyester underwear, let me tell you) very
INDIGNANTLY said to me, "It's JUST the two of you, can it possibly
be THAT difficult to clean up after my son?" OH MY GOD!!!
I just about blew a gasket. My whole life's purpose is not to clean
up after her son. And, BTW, he agrees. Thankfully, DH stood up
for me and announced to his parents that he had actually had a maid
prior to getting married FIVE YEARS ago (he never admitted this
to his mom because he knew that her reaction would be that he was
wasting money on things that he should be able to handle himself).
What a b!tch.
