DH's older brother got married, about a year before
we did, to the nicest woman I've ever met in my life. I don't
think she could be mean if she tried. We were all staying
at the same hotel. DH and his younger brother had to go to
the church before we did, so my future ILs said that I could ride
with them. I beat them down to the lobby. Imagine my
shock when the elevator doors opened and there stood my MIL, in
all her glory, wearing a floor-length, strapless, white satin gown.
She said, "Do you like my dress?" I was speechless.
She later claimed to know nothing about the understood restriction
on wearing white to a wedding. You should see the wedding
photos. It looks like there are two bridal couples, since
my FIL was wearing a tux. In the pictures of the mother/son
dance with my BIL, they look like they are the happy couple.
I'm pretty sure that's just how she wanted it.

MIL is, basically, the secondary caregiver for both
of my nieces on that side of the family. It is a very sad story
and should be on a TV talk show. The short version is that my nieces
are sisters who are about five months apart. They have the same
father, but different mothers. Classy, right? SIL, mother of baby
#2, refuses to let baby #1 in her home. So, instead of my BIL,
the father, having his DD for half of the time, his DD goes to my
MIL's house. My SIL thinks that, since my MIL takes care of the
other baby a lot, she should take care of her child just as much.
She wants this equality, even though the first mother is single,
and my SIL is married to my BIL. It's just a mess. Anyway, my
nieces, one or the other, are basically at my MIL's house 24/7.
I'm afraid of what this will mean when DH and I have a child. I
know MIL raised three sons and everything, but I see how she treats
my nieces. She feeds them anything, from ice cream to potato chips
to soda. One is one year old, the other is seventeen months old!
Not to mention, she's unstable and crazy anyway. DH and I aren't
even trying to have a baby yet, and already she is talking to me
about how awful and horrible day care is. She said that she would
be horrified if I ever put our children in day care. Yes, they
are going in day care. She is NOT getting them! She's already
starting to talk about how she'll be happy to take our baby and
care for it while I'm at work during the day. It's so not going
to happen. I can only imagine how bad it will be when I'm actually
pregnant and we break it to her that she won't be playing nanny
forty hours per week.

When MIL and FIL decided to buy a house and move,
I, out of the goodness of my heart, agreed to spend an entire weekend
(DH and his dad were out of town) at MIL's townhouse going through
her mountains of cr@p and packing them up. MIL is a compulsive
shopper and a pack rat, and she has had issues in the past with
obtaining money through not-so-honest means to feed her habits.
These means include stealing from her own children's bank accounts.
While going through the garage, I found an invoice with my DH's
name and her address. I got a little concerned that she had used
his SSN to open a credit card account or something. When DH got
back into town, I asked if there was any rational explanation for
this. I hadn't asked her, because I knew that I would either get
a bunch of lies or she would start a fight. He immediately called
her and asked her what was going on. She accused me of going through
her stuff and being nosy. He had a screaming fight on the phone
with her. Since we didn't have the internet at our house at that
point in time, we took my laptop, drove to a place where we could
get wireless access, and checked my DH's credit report. There was
nothing suspicious. But, this kicked off a four-month-long, he!!ish,
nightmarish fight, which will be continued in various installments
for your horror/reading pleasure!!
