Here are some quick reasons why MIL is socially disabled:  DH and I just moved back to our hometown, and have been renting a small one bedroom apartment for a month now (we are buying a home soon).  DH told me one day, "Be prepared for my mum to be over all the time now that we have more room."  No.  NO.  NO!  I work from home, so it's not even like I can escape to work!  She is loud, talks SO much, and expects DH is ignore everyone else and focus on her.  I bought DH an item that he really wanted.  I made up stories so he wouldn't get it and so I could surprise him.  I gave it to him, and he was really excited.  What did MIL say?  "Probably won't work anyways."  Thanks, MIL.  She once asked me if I could wax her eyebrows for her!  Please note:  I am not an aesthetician by any means.  She insists on talking about her bunions on her feet and showing them.  Talk about gross!  She has no social boundaries, given I am (unfortunately) her family now.  But, still, I don't tell her about bodily functions.  Why does SHE insist on it!  I don't care!

At my wedding, MIL cried as if she were at her son's funeral!  I'm not talking about shedding a tear here and there throughout the ceremony; she was bawling, shaking and convulsing all throughout the one hour ceremony.  Like always, she made it all about her!  So, there she was, in our wedding video and pictures, just devastated instead of showing a little bit of joy for her son.

        Signed - She Made It All About Her!

MIL is sooo clever with her little snide comments when DH is out of the room.  Can anyone relate to this?  When I tell him, he says it's her way.  She has always been negative.  I have had 17 years of the b!tchy comments about my housekeeping, spending her son's money on curtains, etc.  She blatantly overruled me the other day when I was trying to get her GS to study.  She told him that he didn't need to, as exams aren't important.  How can you fight this ignorance?  I am so angry at DH, who is not close to her, because he rolls his eyes when I tell him her comments.  I know I should confront her, but am afraid I'll lose it and she would love this.  Anyone got any ideas? 

        Signed - MIL Is Sooo Clever
