Why are FILs like this,
especially mine? I just came to the US about 4 months back, and
I've been married around 6 months. My ILs came here last week.
My FIL expects me to take his son's plate after dinner and serve
him just because he is a man!! I wouldn't mind serving my DH by
myself, but not because someone tells me to do it. So, I had a
fight about 2 days ago when I told him that I can't serve his son
and I am not a servant!! He started shouting at me. I left the
house because I couldn't stand him shouting at me. He thinks no
end of himself. He thinks he is perfect. They don't send me out
alone anywhere. Are all FILs like this?? Why this torture, and
why doesn't the DH stand by me?!! FIL is the most disgusting man
I have ever met!!
Signed - My FIL!

My BF and I decided to
take a loan to pay for college because I have been working a lot
supporting us and have no time for school (and I'm also sick).
BF asked his GM to be the cosigner. Now, my MIL wants my BF to
send the money ($30,000) to her so she can manage our expenses.
She wants to send a certain amount of money every month and is telling
us how to spend it, too!! She says that she's doing it because
she wants the best for HIM and that it is "risky" for
her to let him have the money. It seems like she is afraid of me
spending the money, which is ridiculous since I have been paying
for everything and sacrificing school for her son. She never acknowledged
that. She would say, "Well, it is not easy." She is
also an ignorant person and VERY selfish, and ALL of her DILs hate
her. She makes nasty comments about my BF (HER son), saying that
he's not very smart and that the other son is better looking (she
told me that in private). She always wants things done her way.
She also likes to name and show pictures of BF's ex-GFs, and then
looks at me with a smile on her face. One day she visited us and
literally redecorated our apartment without asking me. She is always
saying bad things about people and making people fight because of
her gossiping. Well, I think she is the worst person I know, and
her son is the best man I know. I am going to have to live with
this, and believe me it SUCKS!!

Worst gift: Does anyone
else think that the following behavior is unreasonable, or am I
just being overly sensitive? DH has just celebrated his 30th birthday.
A week before, his parents told us that his present would be late
because they are having trouble finding a removalist. Yes, "a
removalist" to bring it down. There has been no previous coordination
with me regarding said furniture. Okay, they want to keep the present
a surprise for my DH, that I understand. When DH raised the concern
with his parents, they both had tantrums. It seems they don't see
a problem with buying large items of furniture for other people's
homes without consultation. We're in the armed forces, so we move
all the time. What might fit in one house, won't in another. With
that in mind, we keep a fairly minimal approach to our furniture,
as we don't want to move to a smaller house and be absolutely jammed
in. Oh, and to top it off, PIL have spent less than 48 hours in
our house in the 4 years that we've been married. They think that
this is enough to know our needs and tastes. That, and it seems
a strange present to organize in the first place, given that their
son's interest in household goods is limited to the biggest plasma
TV available and the fastest running computer. Two days ago they
called and said that the closest they can get it delivered requires
us to drive for 3 hours each way to pick it up. Otherwise, it will
cost them an extra $450 to deliver. I figure, they decided to provide
it with no involvement on our part, why should we then need to spend
the time and petrol in going to collect it? Vented now.

Sensitive
