I have many, many different
stories, but for now I'll just stick with these. For my baby shower
my mom got a cake made with DH and my baby pictures on it, one of
each. She asked my MIL to take a baby picture of my DH to the cake
lady. When my mom picked up the cake, there were two huge pictures
of DH, my picture was off in the corner of the cake!! My mom was
furious! She told the cake lady, "This is NOT what I ordered.
I'm paying for this. I want it remade NOW!" The cake lady
said to my mom, "Yeah, the lady who brought the baby pictures
in of the boy was laughing and said that you were going to be mad."
She purposely did that!!!! We got her back by having the cake corrected.
She saw it at the shower, but did not say a word about it! This
is an ongoing thing with her. DH is her only child, so it's even
worse. She's so obsessed with him it's not funny. We live in another
state, so last year when she came to visit, she made breakfast for
everyone. She made hers and my DH's plates, and told everyone else
to make their own! Ruuuuude!! Oh, before we got our mail forwarded
to our new house, she got a hold of our bank statements and was
opening them and taping them back together!! Nosey!!! Yesterday,
we got a birthday package for my DH in the mail from MIL. Inside
was a framed picture of her, her DH (they are getting a divorce
right now) and my DH. She wants me to put that picture up in my
house of "her family". Funny thing is, when that picture
was taken, we also had a picture of them with my DD and me. Why
didn't she frame that one, since it's MY home that she wanted to
put it in?!! Needless to say, I'm not putting it up! She's very
jealous that her son is now married with a child, and she won't
get over it! I've talked to her about it, and everything was SUPPOSED
to change, but she's continuing. It sickens me, really!

I have been looking for
an outlet for my frustrations for years (38 to be exact). Now I
have found this site. I have kissed my MIL's butt all these years.
My kids have played second fiddle to her DDs' children all these
years. My kids are all married now, with children whom she does
not even feel obligated to come see. The two babies are 2 and 2
½, and in two years they have seen her may 6 times. She
lives three miles from them. What kind of person does that make
her? I have written letters to her telling her how hurt my kids
are, and indicating that she is also hurting her only son. Evidently,
it does not matter. I used to make sure that I went to see her
every Saturday, but now when I go, she seems to harbor so much resentment
and jealousy. She only upsets me when I leave. Her GD, whom I
referred to previously, is not married, but has four children.
I am not praising my kids, but they have good jobs and are all married
and doing very well, but she gives them no credit at all. It breaks
my heart. My parents died shortly after I got married. My kids
never saw their GP, and because of the way my MIL is, I sometimes
feel that they have no GM. Thanks for letting me find a place to
express my frustration. Maybe this will help lower my blood pressure.
I hope that if I ever become so self centered and uncaring about
my children and grandchildren, someone steps up and reminds me of
the past 38 years.

Worst gift: Last year,
MIL gave me nothing. This year, she gave my DH $50, his brother
$100, his brothers two ex's each got a $50 check. I got a used
crock pot that my SIL gave her last year for Christmas. She then
told me to lie to SIL if she came over and saw the crock pot, and
tell her that I was borrowing it. She lets us all know what or
how much she is giving everyone else. But, it was a great Christmas,
because she was only here for 45 minutes!!!
