I really need help! My
MIL LIVES with us. What a nightmare. At first, she was having
some health problems. We were buying a new house, and she wanted
to add a room onto the side for herself. She was going to pay for
it. When it came down to it, she didn't pay for it all. She only
paid for half. She put the burden on us. We were also thinking
about having my dad move in (for health reasons). Do you know what
she said to that? "I'm not moving in. You're running a GD
nursing home." My dad never moved in, but she did. So, we
are running one for her. Her health problems are no big deal now,
and she could move home at any time. But, NO!!! She wants to take
care of her son. I can't do that well enough. I could just go on
and on.

The tornado of MIL has
touched down. She came to my home on Sunday. It started
the minute she walked in the door. She came in with a huge
cooler full of all her garbage, and a pie she made (she is a horrible
cook - this is never a good thing). She immediately started
dumping all of the food that she no longer wanted onto us.
DH gave it back to her and told her that we have our own food, thank
you, and to take it back. She argued and argued. Even
FIL tried to tell her not to do this, but there is no getting through
to her. I was making butter tarts in the kitchen. MIL
is very competitive baking-wise. I heard her tell FIL not
to eat what I baked, as I was using my fingers. I heard FIL
say, "Oh (MIL's name), how do you expect her to bake without
using her fingers?" He ate lots of them. My DD
was sleeping. I asked DH if we should check on her.
MIL piped up and told me to let her sleep. I don't mind letting
her sleep, but I was not talking to MIL. I was talking to
DH. MIL butted in and answered on his behalf, and DD is not
MIL's to decide on whatsoever. I asked DH again, making it
obvious that I was talking to him and not her. DS is very
rambunctious and loves to crawl everywhere. I don't like MIL
holding my babies, as she is dangerous. She walks around all
wobbly and pretends that she is going to drop them. No matter
how many times we told her to leave him alone, it was like it was
her mission to try and pick him up. MIL has been prying into
DD's daycare. She likes to pry and try and take DD out without
my knowledge. She is always butting into it, as if it has
anything to do with her. She was trying to get info from DH
about the daycare and didn't get an answer, so she thought she would
pry it out of my 3 year old. She, of course, got nowhere.
But, how desperate and ridiculous can this woman be? MIL decided
to do a puzzle with my DD. MIL exclaimed that DD can no longer
do puzzles, as she has not done them with MIL in such a long time.
As if my DD's development is going to come to a screeching halt
without MIL involved. DH heard this one and asked MIL why
she would say that. He said that it is not true, and to please
stop. Then, MIL started a fun and new game called fetch.
She would ask DD to get a particular puzzle (DD has lots of toys
in all kinds of toy boxes all over the place, so it is very hard
to find one particular one like this). Then, MIL would tell
her to get mommy to look for it. So, the objective was that
MIL said a name of a puzzle, and I was supposed to go on a mad scavenger
hunt for this item. Once one was found, she would simply call
out another. I got tired of this game fast. MIL seems
to be jealous of my DD. DD is so beautiful, and MIL is almost
like the jealous stepmother in "Cinderella", trying to
make her ugly. She is always buying her boys' clothes, putting
them on her, and then telling me how much DD just loves these.
DD said no such thing. She knit her a hat and mittens, but
ones that were for boys, very masculine colors, etc. It was
so weird. DD looked beautiful in it anyhow. My children
are rivals to her as well. We are in the way of the attention
that she gets from her "pretend husband", my DH.
Then, MIL topped it all off with some put down by comparison.
She does this constantly with SIL and me, talking as if SIL does
everything so well and I don't, etc. Now she is doing this
between her grandkids. She compares DD to SIL's child, and
talks like SIL's child is just so much better then my DD.
Now MIL has decided that my DH is her service technician for her
stupid laptop. DH bought it for her for Christmas, so now
for the rest of it's days, anytime there is something wrong with
it, she thinks she has a service technician in my DH. I can
just see how she will milk this one. She has just figured
out that breaking her laptop is a good way to get some of DH's attention.
Right now it is a cooling fan, and I don't know if she did it deliberately
or not. However, let's just watch the wicked witch snowball
this one, as with everything else. DH is now feeling depressed,
and MIL is causing all kinds of arguments. This is all from
one visit.

Worst gift: For the
first Christmas that I was married, we spent the holiday at DH's
parent's house. MIL handed me a gift, and since she seemed super
excited, I opened it right away. I got a pack of condoms. Um,
my DH and I have been completely faithful, so why would we need
condoms? And, even if we did need them, why would MIL think it's
appropriate for her to buy them for us?
