frequent fry her - MsPen Frequent Fry Her TM - MsPen, 2 of 4 needed /Posted: 26-JAN-08
Late last year I developed a deadly allergy to one of my favorite fruits.  MIL brought a huge jar of jam made from it to my house, held it up and said, "I have your favorite."  She then gave it to my DH and said, "It's all for you, since she can't have it anymore."

This isn't funny, or at least not yet.  BF and I are still young and about to move into an apartment together.  His mother INSISTED that it was ok with her, until we were making our 6 hour trip to the city where we are moving.  Then, she sat us down and decided differently.  She said that she doesn't want us to live together because we will become unsuccessful and put ourselves in "wrong" situations.  She made us PROMISE that we wouldn't have sex when we lived together!!!  I'm not saying sex before marriage is right, but who the he!! has the right to do something like that?!  Not only was she saying that it was wrong, but immoral, and she basically called us heathens and feels that we would burn in he!!.  But, here is the twist:  She forgot to include the fact that she got pregnant when she was 18 and out of wedlock.  And there she was, preaching to us, while I was crying hysterically.  Don't know what to do.

        Signed - Miss Heathen

A family member whom DH and SIL were very close to recently died.  DH and I went to buy flowers.  "We should really call your sister and see if she wants to go in on these," I told him, because, clearly, I was on meth that day or something.  But, I figured that if we combined our money, we could afford something bigger for this relative, who they both cared about very much.  We called SIL.  Of course she wanted to go in on flowers!  She loved the deceased so much!  She couldn't come to the flower shop for a few minutes to help her brother pick it out, but she could tell us what she wanted it to look like, how big it should be, etc.  We told her how much the final arrangement would cost and what her share would be of it.  She said that it was no problem, and she'd pay us back at the visitation.  As I stated before, I must have been high.  Both visitations came and went.  The funeral was over.  The graveside service was finished.  The funeral dinner came, and she still didn't mention the money.  Someone complimented the arrangement that we'd picked out and SIL immediately jumped in and said, "That was from my family.  Oh, also [DH and I] chipped in."  No, we didn't "chip in," we paid for the whole thing and you need to pay us back still.  But you don't say that kind of thing, because it's just tasteless.  Finally, when was she was getting ready to leave DH discretely asked her, "Do you have the check for the flowers?"  In came the drama!  Loudly, and in front of the whole family, she yelled, "I can't believe you'd ask me that!  Of course I'll pay you back, but asking me right now, when I'm grieving, is tacky!  I will send you a check, but I will never forgive you for acting like this, right after [relative] has just been buried!"  WHAT?!  Of course, it is nearly six months later, and no money.  The nicest part of it all?  Someone in this relative's family sent SIL a Thank You card for the flowers.

        Signed - In Lieu Of Flowers, Please Send Family Drama
