This isn't about my ILs,
but my own brother. I was so sorry to hear this about him. My
mom had surgery on her knee last month. The doc let her go home
a few days later. A side note: She had it done before, and the
doctor did it wrong. She had to go to another doctor to get it
fixed. My mom asked my younger brother, who lives 10 minutes away,
if he would stay a couple of days. He could bring the woman whom
he is staying with and her kids, if he could come by and help her
out. He said, "Well, I don't have a license, so, no."
Well, yesterday she slipped in the kitchen, broke her ankle and
busted her leg open. Yes, the one that she just had surgery on.
It took her 2 hours to get in contact with someone to help her.
They had to call 911 to come get her. She had to have emergency
surgery to fix what had happened. She called my brother again and
asked, "Will you come and help me now?" He told her,
"No." Since my dad died my mom's health has been getting
worse and she is needing more and more help. I pay a few bills
and send her money. I live overseas, and in about 4 weeks we move
back to the states. There isn't anything I can do. I looked into
getting a home health nurse until I get back, but we cannot afford
it. I know that I am going to have to have my mom move in with
us. She can no longer do it all by herself. I have an older brother
who I know could not care less whether she is dead or alive, and
the younger one refuses to help. I just cannot believe that her
own son won't even help, when he lives 10 minutes down the road.
He just could not hang in there till I got back. It has been only
8 months since my dad died. So, it isn't like it has been years.
It has only been months. I just don't know what to do. We don't
have the money for me to come back, because we move in less than
a month. So, I am stuck hoping that the people who live near my
mom will help till I get back.

I have a 9 month old DD,
and we want to spend her first Christmas at home. My mother-in-law
is HURT because, when she was younger, she always went to her mother's.
Her sisters have all of their children and GC at their homes for
Christmas. We want to be home and not have to pack up our nine
month old and all of her stuff (food, bottles, diapers extra cloths,
etc.). We'd have to drive an hour to have dinner, and then drive
home late. We also have go to work the next day. MIL is upset
because we go to my mother's for Thanksgiving. I go to my mother's
house (she lives 3 hours away) once a year, and that's on Thanksgiving.
DH is really upset, and doesn't want to go to his mother's house,
but he is sure that she won't let us forget it. I think that it's
time to move out of state!

Worst gift: The first
Christmas that I ever spent with my DH his mother made me a lovely
picture disk, complete with many pictures of DH's ex-wife. When
he said something to her about it, her response was, "You never
appreciate anything I do for you!" Needless to say, she is
crazy and has continued with her cruelty. I do not speak to her
at all, nor do I ever intend to again.
Signed - Refuse To Say
That She Is My IL!
