I have yet another story of my MIL and how much I want to just wring her neck sometimes.  We have a family business, so all the cars belong to the business, and we use them.  It's a great benefit.  DH and I have one, and my MIL has one, a large SUV.  We sometimes use her SUV to transport large inventory for the business, and we trade cars.  She always complains when this happens, but it's not like we're leaving her high and dry.  We switch cars with her and we give her our car to use, which is a very nice car, while we use hers for business work.  She just bought herself a brand new luxury car, very fancy, very expensive, and the company paid for it, of course.  She handed over her SUV for us to use.  That was very generous, except that it's got like millions of miles on it, it leaks, and it is falling apart.  We'll get a new car once we have our baby in a few months, we're just waiting to get something at the last possible moment so it will be newer.  I'm not completely comfortable on long drives in the SUV, but I suck it up.  I'm lucky to have something for now.  So, anyway, now that she has the fancy new car, she refuses to have anything to do with the SUV, like it's beneath her.  Sometimes, my DH asks her to help him out, run errands or drive inventory somewhere when I can't do it, in the big SUV.  She won't do it because it's not safe for her to drive that car.  Hello?  And it's safe for me, a pregnant lady, to drive it, but it's not safe for her?  Did she know that when she gave it to me to use?  Just another point in her long list of reasons that I'm a second class citizen in this family.  Sadly, my DH won't fight her on it, even though it's for the good of the family business, because he knows he just won't win the battle.  She is a first grade . . .

We threw my DD's first birthday party at my IL's house (big mistake).  They have only met my parents once, at the wedding.  My ILs knew who my parents were, but when my FIL opened the door for them, he did not even say hello.  He just opened the door and walked away from them.  Then, my PITA MIL rolled her eyes at them.  Throughout the whole day she rolled eyes at me, as well, for no reason at all.  For example:  She did it every time I opened a gift of my DD's.  She ruined her birthday, and that was just the beginning of the rude comments and looks.  To top it off, DH has no backbone when it comes to his parents.  They have such a weird relationship.  They treat him like he is 12 again.

Two months after we were married, DH and I were preparing for an overseas move.  There was an awkward transition period that left us without an apartment for the last 2 weeks before the move.  MIL "kindly" offered to let us stay with her.  She put us in SIL's room, and had SIL sleep in my other SIL's room (both girls were still in high school at the time).  Those were two of the worst weeks of my life!  I'll spare you all the gory details (I'm sure you can imagine the sort of things that occurred).  But, here is what set the tone for the whole stay.  When we got to MIL's house, she pulled me aside and said to me, "I want you to know that I understand you and DH are married now.  So if you two want to have s*x in SIL's bed while you're here, we won't mind.  We're all heavy sleepers, so you won't disturb us.  Plus, I put extra sheets on the bed, so you won't get any 'little men' on the mattress."
