frequent fry her - Fightingalosingbattle Frequent Fry Her TM - Fightingalosingbattle, 3 of 4 needed /Posted: 24-JAN-08
Ok, here's just a little bit of an idea of how manipulating my MIL is.  SIL recently got married.  She's 33.  When my MIL and I were still speaking, she would frequently complain to me about how she's upset that SIL (her DD) won't have kids of her own.  She focused on how hurtful that was to her.  She also has complained to DH and me about SIL's new DH, and how she doesn't trust him.  She thinks that he's in it for the money (the family has a significant amount of wealth that is supposed to be passed down to DH and SIL eventually).  She also constantly talks bad about SIL's ILs, calling them trailer trash, etc.  Ironically, MIL is the one who grew up in the trailer park.  Because I am who I am, I keep my mouth shut.  It would be so easy to write in my blog (which MIL and SIL read daily) about how MIL says "this" and "that" about her own DD behind her back, but I don't believe that 2 wrongs make a right.  But, what kind of woman, honestly, will talk trash about her own DD to her DIL?

Worst gift:  OK, my gift wasn't a terrible one, but when you see what everyone got, you will be able to identify how MIL showed DH and me that we were much less important than everyone else.  Christmas 2006:  I got a large bag of pistachio nuts (because I really like them) and DH got a sweater from a discount department store (I was there when she picked it out).  SIL got a brand name knife and block set ($200 value!).  Nice, huh?  Oh, and this last Christmas they didn't get our kids anything.  In August, they had bought the kids new loft beds.  But, they waited until late November to inform us that those beds were their presents from them.  Had we known that in August, we would have put the beds in the shed, and waited till Christmas to give them to the kids.  So, our kids feel unimportant.

Worst gift:  Many years ago, prior to kids, we still exchanged gifts with the ILs from he!!.  This particular year, MIL even asked what she should get us, which was uncharacteristic of her.  The day came, and DH opened his gift.  It was a hand carved duck (not my cup of tea, but OK) and a fisherman's sweater.  Then, I was told to open up my gift next.  It was a squirrel made out of cheese.  A SQUIRREL MADE OUT OF CHEESE!  I'm lactose intolerant!  LOL.  Here we had spent about $100 on each of them for incredibly thoughtful gifts, and I got a squirrel made out of cheese.  Classic.
