- MsPen, 4 of 4 needed /Posted: 29-JAN-08
Every year, Christmas has to be some kind of drama
surrounding SIL's family. MIL always insists on having the
whole family come for Christmas, which usually involves DH and I
rearranging our schedules, and, in many cases, taking time off of
work to achieve this. Even after all the trouble we go to,
SIL rarely shows up. We are always told that Christmas will
be on a certain day, and if we cannot make it on that certain day,
we will just have to miss it. I've always figured that this
means that SIL is more important than DH to MIL. This year,
SIL and Uncle can make it on a certain day, but DH works.
MIL said, "That's okay, you can come and bring my GS."
Great, but what about her son? I called SIL, who said that
the certain day MIL picked doesn't work for her, either. I
confronted MIL about it. She said that we can change it to
the date that works for both of us. Cut to a few weeks later.
MIL was at my house, sitting on my couch, and said, "We're
changing Christmas back, because Uncle can't make it on the new
date." She told us that the change was at the request
of SIL, who can't make it on the new date anymore, and that it is
the only date SIL and Uncle can both make it. It's too bad
that DH can't be there, and they'll have to get together after the
New Year. I lost my MIND. I have never been so enraged
in my life! If SIL can't make it, heaven and earth must move.
But, the one year that it's impossible for us to juggle our schedule,
we're told it's too bad? Furthermore, since when is Uncle
more important to her than her SON? That is the most messed
up thing I've ever heard. The year before, he didn't even
show up to Christmas! In the end, the date was changed.
MIL called numerous times to accuse us of always skipping out on
family gatherings (when it is her DD who does this consistently)
and to warn us that we'd "better not cancel" on her.
She told us that, thanks to our unreasonableness, she will never
do Christmas ever again. Fine with me, because after the date
was changed to a mutually agreed upon one (and we found out that
no one was able to make it to the date MIL insisted we have!), SIL
didn't even bother coming!

I was 17 years old and
we were engaged. We never got married. That's how messed up this
story is. On May 22 (and I was getting married on July 29 2007)
DF's mother got him drunk and told him to break up with me. So,
he did. Right afterwards, she reached across the table, grabbed
my hand, and ripped my engagement ring off. She pawned it the next
day, and my ex-DF told me that we'd always be friends and that he'd
always love me. We haven't talked since, and now he's engaged again.
He's getting married on Valentine's Day

Worst gift: DH and I
have been together (dating/married) for 10 years. Every year, since
we started dating, I received a $100 check from the MIL. Two years
ago, we decided to take a stand over the "holiday scheduling".
I, like all of you, am sure that I have plenty of stories to write
a book on that alone. That year, when my birthday came around,
I received a card, a pair of inexpensive flip flops, and a used
bottle of sun screen. After the he!!ish night was over, DH was
in shock. Not that I am expecting $100 each birthday, but a used
bottle of sun screen? He must have said something, because the
next day, in our front door was a $50 check, not even in an envelope.
Signed - DIL of a Hopelessly
Tacky MIL
