My MIL lives with us.  ARGH!  She is the president of the woman's group at church, works for an interior design firm, and has slept on our couch for the last 4 years because her room is such an absolute mess.  She only goes into her room to get dressed out of piles of clothes on the bed, floor, chairs, etc.  She tries to be the first to hug and kiss my DH when he comes home.  She sits in the dead center of the couch so I can't sit and watch TV next to DH.  I CAN'T STAND THE WOMAN!!  She has everyone at church fooled, like she's Martha freakin' Stewart, because she decorates the church, does weddings, etc., but you can't see the floor in her room!!!  It's not that DH is not doing anything about it.  We've tried very hard.  But she isn't making enough to live on her own and we can't kick her out on the street.  However, we are moving out of state soon, and we've told her that she can't come with us.  That is a promise.  I hope I can keep my sanity until then.

Most of the time I read these stories and it makes my MIL seem tame comparatively.  But, once in a while she just does something that frustrates me and makes my blood boil.  She just called me at work and told me that my BIL has cancer.  She wanted to know if I knew, and, if so, was I keeping it from her!  My ILs don't talk to each other much, long story.  She went from that to asking me if I had heard about Britney Spears!!!  And Anna Nicole!!!!  How heartless can you be?

My BF is away a lot with his job.  Granted, he and I are not married, but we are seriously considering it.  He is not in the care of his real parents.  He has been in the care of this woman for 3 years now.  She can do no wrong.  He usually sticks up for me when it comes to anything else, but god forbid, not her.  Anyway, it had been about 3 months since I last saw my BF.  When he got home, he had to sneak to be able to see me.  She called him about 30 minutes after he got to my house and said, "Where are you?"  I had to rush him right back after I heard him tell her a lie because she could not know that he was with ME - his GF of 1 1/2 years!!!  I was about ready to scream.  It gets worse.  He was home for about 2 weeks and over that time it was my birthday.  My family had set something up for me and he was supposed to take me out and distract me.  So, he took me to dinner.  That was when she called.  She told him that he needed to come home and see his little brothers.  They are 14 and 17, and he had just been home all day.  I mean, I know that life has been hard for them, but it was MY BIRTHDAY.  I am not trying to sound selfish, but shouldn't there be some healthy separation between brothers?  Needless to say, we went there and my family got mad because he did not get me home until an hour past when they expected me.  Then, she has the nerve to say that she does not care whose birthday it was, his little brothers need him.  She uses them as an excuse to make him feel bad.  It makes me so mad.  What makes me even more mad is that he lets her do it.
