I actually have two MILs.
DH's parents were divorced when he was young, and his mother and
stepmother are as different as night and day. His birth mother
is a sweet woman! Two days after her son told her that he had asked
me to marry him, she showed up at my apartment with an exquisite
veil that she just happened to see. She told me that it would look
beautiful against my cheekbones, and she offered to help me with
all of my wedding prep, as my mother has been dead for 15 years.
I truly love her. She's so supportive and kind, and I often look
to her for comfort after I've seen my DH's stepmother. SMIL refused
to come to my bridal shower and rehearsal dinner. She smashed a
set of china, that DH and I received as a wedding gift, because
I asked her to please not smoke near my younger sister, who has
severe, chronic asthma. Last, but not least, she told my father
that she didn't believe that he IS my father because she thinks
that he's too old, and because I have strawberry blonde hair as
opposed to my father's brown hair. Gee, I couldn't possibly have
gotten my hair color from my mother, could I? On the upside, DH
likes his real mom better anyway.

My REAL MIL

The Birth of my DD. The day came that we were to take DD home from
the hospital. MIL, FIL, SIL, BIL and DN all came along for the
ride. They invited family over to see our DD. I'm thinking, okay,
cute, now get out. Looking back, I should have said exactly that.
I was in a sleep-deprived hormonal state though, to my defense.
I came down from my room, where I had holed myself up. It was now
the evening. We came home around noon. BIL and FIL had gone to
a big box store to get dinner. BIL said, "I got some Tequila,
so we can make margaritas!" I gave him an "are you crazy?"
look that shut him up real quick. "This is no party,"
I wanted to scream! My mom was there, the only one besides my DH
who gave a rats arse about how I was feeling. It was the first
time that she witnessed the enmeshment between BIL and MIL. She
said that she felt gross when she saw MIL drape herself over BIL,
like he was a teenager. Did I mention that we live in a resort
town, and that there are plenty of beautiful places/things to do
here? My mom even hinted to them, "So, how is the pool at
your hotel???" They ended up leaving at 9 pm. I was so angry,
and told DH that they could only visit for an hour the next day.
BIL and SIL took DN to a park within walking distance. MIL and
DH were the only ones to stay behind. But, she could not be away
from them for a second, and came up with an excuse to take my DD
away with them. She had jaundice, she needed to be out in the sun,
right? DH asked me if it was okay, and I think that in a state
of shock mixed with anger I said, "Do whatever." As soon
as they left, I broke down crying. If you have had a baby, you
know how strong your hormones and emotions are afterwards. I felt
as if someone had kidnapped her from me. I called DH (thank god
he brought his cell) and demanded that he bring MY baby back!!!

It's Christmas Time, and the Flying Monkeys
are out! MIL sent a FM out to get us. Too bad he is still so blind
to her antics. I knew that he was her confidant and proxy husband,
but I didn't think he'd become a FM. BIL sent an email today in
the fashion of - why are we spending more time with my family versus
the ILs? What did he actually think, that I was going to respond,
"Oh, yes, BIL, you're right. We ARE spending more time with
my family." Even so, who is COUNTING??? I feel that we spend
quality time with both. Oh, wait, MIL is counting. My favorite
line, "A lot of this may sound like it's coming from Mom (and
she doesn't know that I wrote this), but my wife and I talked about
it afterwards, and from an objective standpoint, your time sharing
does appear to be one-sided so far." Hmmmm, notice that he
said, "AFTERWARDS"? Oh, yeah, she's good at manipulating
emotions, and probably played on his to the point that he thinks
his own brother doesn't want to spend quality time with them???
ENOUGH is never ENOUGH! Oh, wait, I must be the one playing my
DH like a marionette, and I make sure that we spend more time with
my family. Stupid, childish thinking!!! I hope his BIL wakes up
someday.

Thinking!!!
