My MIL is a small old
lady (I married late in life), the kind that bakes cookies for her
grandchildren. But, inside she is a controlling, meddling pain
in my neck. We moved to be close to her. At the time, that seemed
like a good idea, since my ILs are older. MIL had planned for us
to buy a house two doors away. What a huge mistake that would have
been. Fortunately, we found a great home 20 minutes away. Our
latest fight was about New Year's Eve. For years, DH and his parents
have had dinner and played cards. Since we are now married, I wanted
to have a little tradition of our own. That was to be going out
to dinner, just the two of us, and then going over his parent's
to play a game of cards and welcome the New Year. This was my plan,
and I made reservations. But, DH could not tell his mom in time
because he did not wanted to hurt her feelings. We had to cancel
our plans and go to the IL's. Then, during dinner, I was upset
and I showed it. Maybe I said a couple of things that I should
have not have said. DH was so upset when we came home that he slept
in the guest room. He said that I embarrassed him and that I am
the villain. MIL looks like a saint, and I am the devil. All I
wanted was to a have dinner with my DH for just a couple of hours.
Signed - MIL Looks Like
A Saint, And I Am The Devil

Worst gift: I'm a small
girl. I wear size small or extra small. For Christmas, my MIL
bought me a size XL nightgown. When I opened it, I said, "Wow,
this is really huge." She replied, "Well, you're a tall
girl!" That same trip, she went on and on about how wonderful
my DH's ex-GF was. She proceeded to tell us, at dinner time, what
all of his exes had been up to since he moved away. One day, MIL
was trying to get to know me, and I brought up the fact that I loved
vanilla latte's from a certain coffee boutique. She replied, "Well,
you'll be fat in no time." I recently found out that I was
pregnant with my second child. I have a thyroid disease that makes
it very difficult to carry the baby. We only told my parents and
my DH's parents, and asked them to PLEASE not tell anyone else until
I was out of the first trimester. The next day, she sent me an
email telling me that she announced my pregnancy to her whole church.
Plus, she called and put me on the church prayer chain. I've been
married for 12 years, and my MIL has had a very minimal role in
our life because she is a very self-centered person. Last year,
she actually had the gall to ask us if she and her DH could just
move in with us so they could save their money. For one, they are
rich. Second, they are like strangers to us.
Signed - I Couldn't Believe
The Gall!
