My MIL continues to make
the same comment that she has always made when she visits her beloved
son, who, for some unknown reason, chooses to live with ME?!? "The
house was NEVER this messy when you lived on your own son,"
like I make his once pristine home some kind of pig sty. She sucks
a wasp from the time she enters the building until she leaves.
And, don't get me started on the fact that she rings him at least
twice a day, complaining that she never gets to speak to him?!?
Argh. Please don't let me turn into a Monster-In-Law when the time
comes!!!!

Well, this is my first
MIL story, but not my first encounter with my MIL. Eight long years
of rude, obnoxious, ignorant, spiteful (and sometimes just incredibly
strange) behavior has led me to seek solace in a support group!
Oh, how I regret the day I said to my long suffering friend, "Oh
dear, it sounds like your MIL is such a nightmare. I'm so lucky,
my BF's mum is so lovely." If only I knew then what I know
now. The most recent incident occurred last Sunday when she called,
and my DH and I just happened to be out having a leisurely breakfast.
Unbeknown to us, she had called our home line (seven times), then
DH's mobile phone (which was off due to a flat battery), and eventually
mine, which I never take with me on weekends. Should she ever listen
to a single thing I say, without talking over me to revert to subject
back to her all time favorite one (herself), she might have already
known that. But, I have come to recognize that listening is not
one of her strengths! Well, over the two hours that we were out,
I would estimate that she called at least thirty times, and she
was also seen driving past our house several times, once even stopping
and banging on the door, screaming all sorts of obscene words for
us to open the door. Eventually, when she did get hold of us, she
had worked herself up so much that she exploded. We were accused
of keeping secrets from her, and going behind her back to meet other
relatives (who refuse to be in her company due to her behavior).
Eventually she made a threat that if ever we ignore her like that
again, she will tell those relatives exactly what we are like, and
that she is going to make our lives he!! if she does not get her
way! Needless to say, my very wonderful (but ever so slightly spineless)
DH said absolutely nothing because he just hates arguments, and
this is just "how she is". This is a woman, who wore
white to my wedding, told me, while I was planning it, that I should
invite a particular family friend (who is a very, very large lady)
because if she was there, it would make me look thinner!!!!!!!!

Worst gift: My MIL forgot
my littlest one's birthday. This wouldn't bother me that much if
I thought that she didn't do it on purpose, but I think she does.
Both of our children are blood grandchildren. She never forgets
nephew or my DH. She forgets mine often, and I can get over it.
I don't want her doing it to my children. How can I just get her
to send no presents, and then it wouldn't matter if she forgot one?
SIL does the same thing. They gave to one of mine, and not the
other one. So, the same little one gets left out. It was hard
for me this year, but I didn't give to nephew because of it, thinking
that she would stop gift giving. She didn't. She still gave to
one, and forgot the other. I want the madness to end. No gifts
- period - would be great!!!!
