DH and I have been married
for 4 years, and together for 5. We have a son who's one. MIL
is single, and looks to us for an outlet. It results in drinking,
and then it leads to a fight between DH and me. MIL has been divorced
several times, is very materialistic, and gets bored quickly. She
actually makes comments about other women in front of us. She even
brings up stories of DH's ex-GFs, etc. She's the type who asks,
"Lets go to Hooters for lunch," etc. Once, she met a
GF of ours while we were at the beach, and had to make a comment
about her rear end, saying, "What cute buns!" I replied,
"Yeah, once you get to know her, vs. looking at her, you'd
see she's nice." They always make me feel like I'm the party
pooper because she's the outgoing, energetic, fun person, and I'm
just the wife. DH and I have way more fun without her. I know
that I can't, and won't, come between them, but she purposely hurts
my feelings. I just get chills thinking of what's to come if we
hang out together. All their family members are out of state, so
she leans on us a lot. There was one time, way before the baby
was conceived, when we all went to dinner, and I got really sick
from the food. We had to leave and go back to her house, since
we were staying there over the weekend. I fell asleep on the couch,
and she talked my DH into going out on the town and leaving me to
take care of myself. They went to a bar, and that lead to the police
being called on them. DH had to call me to get them home safely.
I went to speak to one of the officers and MIL tried to get between
us. The officer had to tell MIL to back off and let him speak to
me alone. He told me that she was dancing with her shirt off in
a bar. She was dancing up on some guy, and he shoved her off.
Why is it that, with me, DH has gotten out of a hole and has gotten
himself to a higher place - we have a home, DH owns his own business,
we have nice things and we have security. Yet, it seems that MIL
wants him for himself. It sounds sick, but there were times where
she would actually sit in the middle of the front seat, next to
him, as if she was his spouse. He would have to tell her, "Mom,
that's where my wife sits." She loves to go to our house before
I get off of work and get some drinks in him. By the time I arrive,
they are already in the clouds, and it infuriates me. I have said
to her that when he drinks, he won't stop, and she shouldn't get
him started. I've even caught her walking in on him using the bathroom,
as if he's still a kid. He's a grown man! She kind of grosses
me out, and I wonder what his childhood was like. I wish she would
move away. Another son of hers moved out of the state, and said
to us, "Now she can be your problem!" I have told her
that she needs to think of her son's and her grandson's well being,
and if we can just do ANYTHING without alcohol, it would be wonderful.
I just had to get this off my chest. I'd love to hear any comments.
Thanks.

Thinking Of What's To Come

I applied to grad school,
one year, and was rejected. I was feeling pretty bad about it,
since I had worked so hard on my application, and had really wanted
to get in. DH told MIL about it. He said, "DW is really sad
about it." She said, "Can I talk to your wife?"
He handed me the phone, and she said, "I'm so glad you didn't
get in. Aren't you glad? Now you won't hold my son back anymore."
I said, "No!" She said, "Oh, what, are you still
upset about it? How selfish." I hung up the phone and handed
it back to DH. Ugh. What a witch.

Took Me To Dinner To Make Up For It

Worst gift: One Christmas,
GMIL asked me what I needed for our new home. I told her that I
would love to have a SMALL, WHITE, and very compact toaster oven.
We have virtually no counter space. I stressed these requirements
to MIL, MY GM, and GMIL. I even told her that I wanted one exactly
like hers ( probably a $9.99 item, but, to me, cost doesn't matter).
So, to my surprise, on Christmas I opened a LARGE, BLACK toaster
oven. It even had a picture of a turkey roasting on the front of
the box, and it took up half the trunk. At least she didn't get
me socks.
