My DH is one of five kids.
We had DD, and then 2 years later we had a son. That same year,
SIL and DH's sister also had babies. That made 6 grandkids for
the ILs. When DH called to tell them about the birth of DS, they
said, "We sure have a lot of GC. Wish you kids would space
them out a little." So they had their kids close together,
but we can't? And, I am suppose to plan my family around my BIL's
and SIL's families?! The ILs didn't visit for 2 months. When they
did come, they had a onesie for DS. A single onesie as his gift.
Three years later, my sister had her first child; the first GC on
BIL's side of the family. My sister's MIL was sitting in the waiting
room with me. She was so excited. She asked me what my sister's
favorite food is, because when she visits them at home, she wanted
to stock their freezer for them. I said, "Mexican food."
She told me how polite my sister is, always complimenting anything
she cooks, so she never knew what her favorite was. BIL came to
get us, and before we went in the room to see the baby and my sister,
her MIL stood at the door and said, "This is your first time
giving birth. Are you sure you are ready for visitors?" Then,
she gave her a beautifully wrapped silver bracelet because she said
that the babies get all the presents, but the mothers do all the
work." Sigh. My sister is my best friend, and I am so happy
for her. But why, oh why . . .

My MIL is great for trying to take over when
it comes to my kids. Whenever she's around, it's like I'm nonexistent
as their mother. Last summer, DH's family got together for a weekend
away at a friend's vacation house. Poor DD was just getting over
a double ear infection from earlier in the week, and it happened
to be super cold for August. MIL tried, the entire weekend, to
push DH and me out so that she could get DD away from us. The first
time was at breakfast. She told DH and me that we should go to
town (about 1/2 hour away) and get ourselves some breakfast, and
that she would stay behind with DD. Of course, she forgot that
the whole rest of the family wanted to eat, too. Later that evening,
they were talking about going for a boat ride. First, she said
that she would stay behind with DD. I was 6 months pregnant, it
was cold, and I said that I didn't want to go. Then, MIL changed
her mind and said that she would take DD on the boat. I said, "No."
She was still taking antibiotics for a double ear infection!!!
So, DH and I stayed behind with DD. But, the thing that bothered
me the most happened in the morning, when she heard that DD was
up. She opened the door to our room, walked in, and took my DD
off the bed. Who the he!! walks into their grown, married child's
bedroom first thing in the morning?? It was very uncomfortable,
to say the least.

Worst gift: For my birthday
this past year, FMIL decided that she would get me something. When
I opened it, I saw that it was a large flashlight. After I thanked
her, she said that it was for protection, and that she didn't *want*
anything to happen to me. This is the same woman who told my best
friend's parents that she hated me.
