When I was planning our
wedding, FMIL insisted on paying for the band (they sucked, BTW).
I had agreed to it because I wanted to our relationship to have
a good start. I was told that the fee was $500, which I thought
reasonable, even though they did NOT want to play my request, since
MIL had already made requests. After the wedding, MIL made it known
that she had paid the band $1000. Later on, she guilted my DH that
she had no more money because she paid an extra $500. So, we reimbursed
her the $500. After many months, I came to find out that MIL said
the same thing to her other son. MIL had gotten her $1000 back,
$500 from each son. Then, she had the nerve to tell everyone that
she had paid for the band.

I have so much to say
about my MIL. First, I'll give you the background. Second, I'll
give you my current issue with her. When DH and I first started
dating, MIL was fine. It was probably because she didn't see me
as a threat. But, the second we got engaged, she went off the deep
end. Nothing I did was right, and everything I wanted for our wedding
was either too extravagant or expensive in her book. Keep in mind,
she is probably the cheapest person I have ever met. She actually
offered to buy my jewelry for the wedding, but then tried to convince
me to make it instead. She would buy the supplies from an arts
and crafts store, as long as she had a coupon. Anyway, the week
before our wedding, she was the worst I had seen her. She was pretty
much drunk the whole week, because the thought of losing her son
was too unbearable, I guess, and she tried to get me to change EVERYTHING
at the last minute. My rehearsal dinner was already set to be at
a nice restaurant. She practically threw a temper-tantrum at the
last minute, saying that she wanted it at her house instead, in
the back yard - in November. She also had the nerve to ask my DH
if, before I walked down the aisle, he could walk her down the aisle
first!! This way, everyone would know that she was the first woman
in his life! Then, when he said, "No," she asked my wedding
planner, at the rehearsal, to make it happen anyway! Of course,
my planner, said, "No." So I could tell that she was
furious about it that night at the rehearsal dinner. Once everyone
had eaten and speeches had been given, she proceeded to stand on
a chair and introduce everyone on her side of the family. She made
a big deal about all that they had done for us throughout the wedding,
pretty much making it sound as if my family did nothing. HELLO,
my family actually paid for everything. But, you didn't see them
announcing it to the world. Keep in mind, she was crying the whole
time. Here comes the best part: She proceeded to tell this story
in front of 50 people (I will try to quote her the best I can).
"So, when my son was about 3 years old, he walked into the
room with his pants around his ankles. You know, exploring himself.
He said, 'Look momma, it grows!' So, here's to you son. Now you
can let it grow. Let it grow. Let it grow!!!" Everyone was
either laughing awkwardly, or sitting with their heads in their
hands. We were just mortified! I thought it would be much better
once we got married, but she called us every day while we were on
our honeymoon. She constantly tries to have control. She even
tried to get my DH to come over on Christmas morning to be with
his sister, so she wouldn't be miserable on their first Christmas
apart. I mean, come on!! She is 18. She'll be fine! This brings
me to my current issue. We all know that she is crazy. But, what
makes her even more crazy is that she has all these weird beliefs
in medicine and doctors. Personally, if a doctor tells me that
something is wrong and that he can fix it, then I let him! A few
months ago, I found out I had an ovarian cyst and that it needed
to come out. I was told that it's pretty common, and I went in
and had it removed. Now I'm all better. He said that my birth
control will help to keep any future ones from developing. Now,
all of a sudden, I have all these alternative medicine doctors filling
up my voicemail, saying that I have been referred by my MIL! Last
week, we were at a Christmas party at her house. In front of 40
people, she said, as loudly as possible, "You should really
get off that birth control if you ever want to have kids. Can't
(DH's name) just use a rubber? My Dr. friend said that the reason
you got that cyst was because your body is too acidic, and if you
just drink this [special] water, you could prevent cancer down the
road. Also, sin is the biggest cause of growths in the body."
Ugh, I just want her to go away.
