Love this place! My DD
was 5 at the time, and so was my niece. They both lived far away
from the ILs, but both families flew out there to visit. These
are the only 2 GDs. I walked into their house and there was FIL,
MIL and niece in the living room. DH went downstairs to find his
brother. My MIL was telling me that she was taking niece to see
the latest kids' movie. DD said, "I want to go!" MIL
said, "But I thought you saw this." I said, "Yes
she did, 2 weeks ago. I wish we would have known that you wanted
to take her." DD looked at her GM and said, "Can I go
again with you guys?" MIL yelled (Yelled!!), "I guess
I am going to need more money if I have to take another person to
the movies!" FIL turned beet red, opened his wallet and gave
her money. Then he sweetly said to my DD, "Have a good time."
I don't know if she wanted my DH to hear that and come up with some
money, but did she have to do it in front of my kid? She wasn't
asking for a new bike. I was stunned.

Dear MIL, I realize that
you have had zero love and affection from your DH, FIL, in the last
50 or so years. But, your son is not here to make up for that.
Please butt out and stop being so smothering.

Worst gift: One Christmas,
MIL wanted to get FIL some kind of tabletop saw. She asked us all
if we wanted to split the cost 3 ways (her, SIL and us). When we
asked her how much it was, she responded, and we said, "Ok,
that's fine. We can afford that." Over the following couple
of weeks, I had worked that into our budget. Not easy on one income,
but, hey, we did it. One day, we got a call. MIL had asked BIL
(SIL's DF at the time) to go pick it up. I found that strange,
considering he didn't even have a truck to do so, but, oh well.
When he went to pick it up, he "decided" to get a much
better one, without even confirming with anybody if they could afford
the other one. He just did it. We didn't know until the day before
Christmas that the other one was more expensive. It turned out
to be 3 times as much as our original 1/3 was supposed to be. There's
no way we could pay that! On Christmas, during the gift unwrapping,
in front of the entire family, including BIL's family, FIL opened
his gift. He loved it, of course. When thanking people, SIL said,
"Well [DH and I] didn't put in for it, so don't give them credit."
Huh! And, she told me that I need to grow up? The saddest part
is that, because of all these problems, we don't spend time with
them anymore. The kids don't see them.
