MIL was sort of hurt when
I stopped phoning her regularly. I had some news that I was particularly
happy about, that I thought she'd like to hear. I made an appointment
to get a driver's license (I have waited way too long). I applied
for some better paying jobs (since now I will have the car, and
DH is off work for medical reasons), and my dog is pregnant (we
are breeding a certain type of dog). I was feeling really great
about it. My ILs are also giving us their old car. So, I phoned
to find out what needs to be done, like an inspection. MIL seemed
to be happy for me. I got home from work and DH told me what she
had said to him. She felt that I was stupid for letting the dog
get pregnant (we desperately need the money right now, so it is
good timing). I am stupid for applying for jobs because I probably
won't get the license (I have been driving with the learner's permit
for years, and have taken drivers education). She told me that
she can't parallel park, but I learned in half an hour. She said
that she checked with the registry and the car doesn't need an inspection,
either (I got my information from my insurance agent, they have
to have it or it won't be insured). My parents have always driven
old beaters, so I would know more than the ILs, who always drive
new cars. I want to be friends with her, as she seems like such
a nice person and I really do love her. I just wish she would love
me back, and even start thinking of me as an intelligent person.

My MIL is junk. That's
all there is to it. She is so absorbed in my BIL. She is obsessed
with him because he is her baby. She seems to forget that she has
another child (my DH) - that is, until she wants to see our child
or complain that she doesn't get to see our child enough. On the
one day a week that we actually need a sitter for less than 3 hours,
she acted like she doesn't even want to keep the baby then. And,
she doesn't WORK! Come on, lady - it's one way or the other! I
hope BIL marries someone who is a total b!tch to her. Then, maybe
she will realize how good I am to her.

It has been a while since I have had any stories about my MIL.
That was due to the fact that she has distanced herself from us
as much as possible. We saw her at DH's GM's house on Thanksgiving.
We did not even see her for Christmas. She did not even make a
call to her DS on Christmas Day! However, just about a week before
Christmas, she contacted my DH. She left a message on his phone
saying, "We need to talk." He went to her house, and
not even a half hour later he came back home. He, basically, said
that she felt bad that they have no relationship. Well, sweet MIL,
that is what we have been trying to tell you for two years! After
that, nothing even happened. She must have just felt some pressure
around the holidays to be a "good mother". So, fast forwarding
to March, which is our DS's birthday month. We had a party for
him, and we sent her an obligatory invite. She did end up attending.
It was awkward, to say the least, and she did not converse with
anyone at the party, other than her DH and DD. However, she did
attend, which was unexpected. We were glad that she at least came
for that. We, basically, came to the realization that we will never
be close with her. It was just something that we had to accept.
Just this week, I was on the phone with my DH's GM. We were discussing
some Easter plans, when she revealed something to me. She stated
that she felt sad that her DD (my MIL) and her DH (my step FIL)
and DD (my SIL) were moving to another state in the southwest!
Let me tell you, we live in New England, and they mentioned nothing
to my DH, about the move, on our DS's birthday, or at any time,
for that matter. I, basically, told her that we had never heard
of such a thing. His GM said that they had already had an open
house and put their house on the market! I know that we have no
relationship with my MIL, but how could she not even tell her own
DS that she was planning on moving across the country? I found
this to be completely absurd. Now there is absolutely no chance
that my DH and his mother will ever have a relationship. I hope
that she is happy with the decisions she has made throughout her
life.
Signed - So Long, MIL!
