I have such MIL problems.  I can't seem to get any peace.  My DH has told his mother, time and again, for 14 years, that she needs to stop calling and coming by so often.  She has already called twice this week.  We let the answering machine pick it up.  She told him how much she missed and loved him.  The crazy lady said, "Give the two kids hugs from me."  We have 3 children!!  We are changing our number tomorrow, but we both know it'll be a matter of time before she shows up at our door, or worse, at my kids' school.  We don't want to move.  We live close to the school and DH's job.  I am at my wit's end.  I know she hates me for marrying DH.  I just wish she would get on with her life and get out of ours!

I thought that finally standing up for myself and breaking all contact with the ILs would make things better!  BUT, as always, things don't work out as planned!  I still don't have contact with them, but DH does.  Yesterday, the she-devil phoned to tell DH that his youngest sister is getting engaged (the one who is a b!tch to me and her brother)!  Okay, that is fine.  But, the part that got me hopping mad was when my DH said, "Well, that is great.  But, isn't my sister a bit young?"  MIL went into a screaming rage at him for ruining his sister's day!  SIL has not spoken to us since our wedding last year.  Oh, and she doesn't even know that MIL called us to give us the news!  The guy she is getting engaged to is a spineless idiot.  SIL is only 21, and she does not have a steady job.  I agree that maybe they are very young and he is just a typical big brother watching out for his baby sister!  DH doesn't think anything about it, but I'm hurt and upset because, when we got engaged, she didn't even bother to join us for the engagement dinner.  The ILs did absolutely nothing for our engagement or wedding!  They picked fights with us in the week leading up to our wedding, and on the wedding day they made nasty comments and tried to upset us both!  Now we have to play nice because it's mother's little angel?  I think not!  I will not be the good DIL and keep my mouth shut!  I'm going to this wedding and getting my revenge!  DH even agrees with me!  I know it is stupid to get so upset about their wedding plans and try to ruin their wedding!  Well, back to the real world.  We'll attend the wedding, smile for the photos, and make polite conversation.  Then, we'll leave without so much as one nasty comment!  I will not stoop to their level!  I just wish they would stop hurting my DH!!!!!

Worst gift:  While DH and I were dating, I went to his very large families' Christmas Eve party.  At midnight, they all got into a circle and they all sang Christmas songs.  Then, they sang happy birthday to Jesus and blew out candles on a cake for the big guy (Jesus), after waiting a few moments to see if, by divine intervention, they would go out by themselves.  Then, they passed out gifts.  I was engaged to DH at the time, and we had been dating for 3 years.  Everyone received a gift, even just GFs of cousins.  EVERYONE but me!  The next year, I received a pink and black wind suit.  The year after, I got a hot pink parka.  They hate me!  This year, they gave us baby formula, which was cool, and a photo printer that they took back from us because they thought we didn't "need it".  WOW!

        Signed - They Hate Me!
