I was having a 50th birthday
party for my dad last month. MIL wanted to bring the kids to church
the next day, and didn't want them to be around all that "drinking",
so she was going to pick them up early from the party. I had family
in from all over the state for the party, plus I hired a photographer.
But, not wanting to cause any problems, I let the kids go with her.
She also was going to be keeping her other GS that night due to
his parents also not wanting him to be around "all that drinking"
at the party. I was not aware, at the time, that she had also brought
her adult son and DH with her, and there was not room in the car
for my kids to ride in seatbelts. SO, instead of putting her adult
son in the back of the car, which is still against the law, she
put both of my children, who are both under the age of 8, into the
cargo area of her SUV. Of course, she, FIL, BIL and the other GC
were all safely belted in. But, my babies were free to roam in
the back like animals. She also told them not to tell their mom
"because she would be very mad". The crazy part about
it is that, after DH told her that we were very upset, and that
she couldn't take the kids anymore, she said that "I"
was being controlling, and she was not sorry about it because her
kids were never in car seats, and "they turned out fine".
She said that it was our problem because we are not right with God.
Is it just me, or does our relationship with God have nothing to
do with the safety of my children? Is a trip to church worth risking
their life? Do church going people usually tell their GC to lie
to their parents? Although we have given our children a religious
upbringing, we do not have the same religion as my MIL, so our salvation
is in question to her. After 10 years of marriage she can still
push my buttons like no other.

I may have the most evil
MIL to date. DH is disabled due to a car accident caused by his
father 7 years ago, before we met. While in the hospital fighting
for his life, his mother contacted Social Security to start his
disability payments. During the 4 months that he spent in the hospital,
she cashed each check and pocketed the money, instead of paying
his bills. When he got home and had to live with his parents, she
demanded half his check as rent. Even though he had lost his business
and almost died due to his father's reckless driving, they owed
him nothing as far as she was concerned. After all, it was only
an accident. Three years later, he met me and we fell in love.
After 2 years, we married. His mother fought us every step of the
way. What should have been the most joyous time in our lives turned
into the most stressful, thanks to her constant meddling, and threats
to ruin it. A little over a year after we were married, DH received
a letter from Social Security stating that he owed them almost $9,000
for the payments and medical expenses that he had been receiving
since our wedding month. In addition, they were cutting him off.
Not only that, but MIL received a similar letter. We came to find
out that, in addition the "rent" she was demanding each
month, she was also getting her own check to be "used for his
care". When she was handling his Social Security Disability,
she had him declared an "disabled adult child" (DAC) so
that she would receive that extra check. The Social Security law
states that if a DAC marries, he is no longer eligible for payments.
Things have been really tense between the two of them ever since.
Instead of owning up to her betrayal, she has been telling anyone
who will listen that I mistreat her son and have told him to turn
on her. According to her, he puts up with me because he's so happy
to have someone. Some way for a mother to talk about her own son,
huh? She also claims that I am causing his father stress, and will
cause him to have another stroke, and that it is something I want
to happen. I could go on and on about her other stunts, but I'll
save that for later posts.

I can't stand my ILs.
DH and I have been married for one year, and we have a three month
old baby. Every time we go to their house, they have to make a
comment about DS. If he's crying, it means that I ate something
bad, and he's crying because his stomach hurts. They are always
commenting and trying to show that I'm a bad mother. They drive
me nuts. I had a c-section, and my MIL said that people who have
c-sections don't love their kids. They drive me nuts. We live
a few streets away, and they want us to go over to their house all
the time. Help!!!!
