MIL had a garage sale
on an unseasonably cold spring day. Temp's were near freezing and
snow was forecast. She called DH and me to come over and "help
with crowd control". What crowd? No one came. MIL stayed
inside, while DH and I sat in the unheated garage. If we went inside
to get warm, MIL yelled at us to get back out there. After a couple
of hours, DH found his backbone and sneaked us out through the backyard.
We circled the neighbors' house to get back to our car, and drove
away without MIL knowing.

Worst gift: My MIL gives
some pretty horrible gifts. She always asks us what we want for
Christmas, and rarely gets us anything that we have asked for.
Last year, she called me and asked if we would use a GPS. My response
(in my head) was, "Wow, that's a great gift." But, I
told her to talk to my DH first, because his company was thinking
about buying one that we would also be able use. I guess she never
talked to my DH, because when Christmas Day came around there was
no GPS for DH. One of his gifts from his mother was a pink bunny
cookie jar. Every year, she gets my DH a cookie jar with cookies
in it. FYI, we have way too many damn cookies jars! Anyhow, the
bunny also had a nice flower hat on. I was kind of shocked. My
MIL also came up to me before my wedding shower and asked if it
was OK if she didn't get me a gift for the shower. I was a little
taken back, but said, "OK." She then went on to say that
she wanted to get us a large gift that would be for the wedding
and the shower. I was still a little taken aback, but overall thought
that that was OK. My shower came, and I ended up getting a bag
full of little things. She was in the process of moving and it
was like she was just cleaning out her drawers. We did get a name
brand micro-cooker, which I actually use quite a bit. It was still
in the wrapper, but the style was from over 3 years ago. I did
appreciate some of the gifts, but it really was like she was just
cleaning out her cupboards and drawers. Our wedding has come and
gone, and we didn't get anything from his mother, not even a card!
Granted, she (well, her new DH, who is filthy rich and whom she
decided she had to marry when we got engaged) paid for the rehearsal
dinner. She complained about paying for it after she told us that
she wanted to. But, still, you'd think that we would have at least
gotten a card! Lastly, and this was before I even met my DH, she
had gone somewhere and bought two gifts; one for my husband and
one for his sister. She gave DH the opportunity to choose which
gift he wanted, and then the other would go to his sister. His
choices were a colored glass purse, or a high heel shoe!!
