I was at my MIL's house
with DH one Sunday morning after we had gotten engaged. Our wedding
was in 2 months. MIL was clipping coupons and handed me a coupon
for a yeast infection treatment cream, saying that I would need
that now that I was getting married. I still haven't figured out
(after 12 years) why she expected me to get yeast infections because
I was married.

My step-MIL is verbally
and emotionally abusive. She is also on medication for depression
and has, on several occasions, told me about the time she convinced
her ex-DH (# 2, FIL is # 3) to stop stalking her and abusing her.
She did this by telling him that if he came near her again or threatened
her again, she would kill his two children and then herself, in
order to keep him from getting them after her death. I have some
sympathy for her - she's had a hard life. But she is also very
damaging to those around her, and I am afraid of a person willing
to murder her children, regardless of the cause. My point for relating
all this? I won't let her baby-sit my infant son. I am afraid
that she will fight with my FIL in front of him (a common occurrence),
or neglect to follow the instructions we give her about my son's
care (she's not what you might call a LISTENER). Or, I don't know,
I just have a nervous, yucky feeling about abandoning my son to
her. So, now there's a huge family fight going on about our choice
not to leave our son with her. Everyone is angry, saying, "Well,
she was good enough to raise [DH], why isn't she good enough for
your son?" DH is in counseling trying to deal with the emotional
damage she did to him growing up. Or, "What do you think she's
going to do? She's not going to hurt a baby! It's outrageous that
you would suggest she will hurt a baby!" We haven't said that
she will hurt our baby. We HAVE stated that we don't trust her
enough to leave our son with her, because she won't listen to our
concerns. This was after we were forced to explain why we weren't
asking her to baby-sit. This is made even more complicated by the
fact that she's a daycare worker. I don't know what to do. I know
that DH needs his family, but I won't let her use my son as a pawn
to make herself happy. DH also agrees with me on this, but he's
suffering horribly for it. His whole family, father, brothers and
sisters, is mad at him.

Worst gift: My ex-MIL
asked what I would like for Christmas. I told her that I'd like
a crock pot. On Christmas morning, we were all gathered around
the tree. She handed me my gift. It was indeed a crock pot ----
box!!!!!!! Inside were patches for the knees of our son's pants
and a plastic shower cap!!!! I swear that this is true. Her son
didn't say a word to his dear mother. That is one of the reasons
. . .
