It really helps to know that you are not the only one experiencing the ILs from he!!.  My MIL is the most arrogant, overbearing, condescending, flippant but, yet, ignorant woman I know.  I believe she wakes up in the morning with the daily intention of pissing somebody off!!  DH's entire family is dysfunctional, to say the least, and although I love him, I must admit the craziness has rubbed off on him as well and he does not have a clue why I have a problem being verbally, emotionally, and psychologically abused by his family.  He says that I'm overly sensitive.  When I was pregnant, I couldn't take the smell of food.  DH made pancakes for dinner one evening and shared this with his mother when she called.  She decided to call back and gripe to me about her son having to eat pancakes.  Then, at the hospital, when my DD was born, she said to me, "Here, hand her over to me because I know you don't know what you're doing."  I was trying to breastfeed at the time.  Mind you, she owns a daycare, so she feels that she is an expert on all matters concerning children.  But, she turned to my then 10 month old little cousin and told him to "shut up," because he was whining.  She blows up any picture she has of my DD, my DH, and his son from previous relationship.  But, there are no pictures of me at her house, not that I really care, it just goes to show you that she seems to go out of her way to exclude me from her family.  She threw away my DD's pacifier (8 months old) because she feels that she needs to be weaned from using it.  Hello, my decision, and my money that paid for that pacifier.  My list of complaints could go on and on, so I'll just stop here.  Can't stand her, though!!

When my DH was overseas during a six month deployment, he decided to call his family and see how they were doing.  He spoke with his sister, and she was very upset because their mother didn't have money to pay bills.  Now, of course, he got upset and sent her a check for $300 dollars.  Background info:  MIL lives with loser BIL, and he barely pays her any money for rent.  She also is used to my DH paying some bills or sending her money when she needs it.  He felt bad because I had no clue?  She's his mom?  Before my DH and I got married we spoke about him giving money to my MIL, and we BOTH agreed that he would not do that anymore.  Well, when he left on his deployment, he, of course, left me in charge of the finances.  When he called me a few days later to tell me what he had done, I was very upset and felt betrayed by him.  I told him that I was going to my home state, which happens to be his home state, as well.  I decided to go see my dear MIL.  Well, she was so excited to show me her brand new TV that she bought with the money my DH sent her for bills!  Needless to say, DH doesn't send her money anymore.
