This site is great! My
MIL insisted that the kids throw her a 40th anniversary party because
FIL was in poor health and would not make it another 10 years.
I was reminded of this story because we are currently planning their
50th wedding anniversary party!! The other siblings and their spouses
got together to plan. We live out of state, so we trusted SIL to
do a good job. I get along well with her. We arrived 3 days before
the party. The day of the party SIL had her checklist of everything
that needed to be done. We divided it up. Our job was to pick
up the deli platters and salads at IL's favorite deli, and then
the cake at the bakery, and pay the balance on both. SIL gave us
the receipts for both and the balances were no problem. We arrived
at the deli, and the platter was bigger than we expected - the order
had increased by $70! We questioned it and the owner said that
he received a call from SIL last week asking for said increase.
There was nothing we could do, so we paid and left. We asked SIL,
and she had not made the call. MIL overheard us and said, "I
called pretending to be you. You did not order enough food! I
don't want to be embarrassed by not having enough food for my guests!"
When DH asked her if she wanted to pay us back the $70, she just
walked away. Oh, the kicker? SHE took home all of the extra food.
Yeah, no surprise that there was a lot of leftover food.

So, here is my latest
drama. I got pregnant back in September, and we just found out
that the baby is a boy. FIL has always kind of joked that if it
was a boy, we would name it after him. But, I secretly thought,
"No way," because his name is hard for me to pronounce,
very ethnic sounding (DH is not from this country), and I don't
like it. Also, I feel that, since the baby will have DH's last
name, and given the fact that I'm the one who's going through this
pregnancy, I should be able to at least name the baby something
that I like. DH agreed with me, and we decided that we would name
the baby after my grandfather and my dad. I was close to my GF
(he recently passed away), and my dad has cancer, and honestly may
not make it to see the baby be born. Anyway, when my DH told FIL
about our decision, he was very upset that weren't naming the baby
after him! He thinks that, since he has helped us out in the past
financially and with vacations and stuff, he has the right to decide
what we should name our child. Keep in mind, we NEVER asked for
his help. Believe me, the vacations that I had to go on with them
were horrible because I had to go with THEM (oh, this is just the
tip of the iceberg - MIL is usually the one making waves)! Also,
DH is an only child, and I come from a family of six. His parents
are in a better position to give us stuff, but I don't think that
this should dictate what we name our child. I'm just so upset that
he seems to think that he can buy the child's name! I also don't
want anyone's feelings to be hurt, but it's my child. I'm the one
who has to live with the name day in and day out! I also don't
want to change it now, since we've told my parents and they are
thrilled that the baby will be named after the most significant
men in my life, other than my DH. What should I do?

Worst gift: A condom.
One single condom. The kind that Planned Parenthood gives out for
free. And, a card saying that she wanted to make sure that there
were no little messes running around any time soon. *Sigh*. Oh,
and by the way, this was for our first wedding anniversary.
