My DH was building something
for my dad for Father's Day when he severely cut 3 of his fingers
(almost completely off) on his table saw. After my dad called me
to tell me of the accident, I rushed to the hospital. After seeing
that he was going to be all right (docs said they could save his
fingers), I called his family to tell them what had happened. My
MIL rushed to the hospital as they were wheeling my DH to his room
(he had to stay the night). By this time, it was about 9:00 at
night and my DH and I were discussing what I should do (whether
I should go home and get my DS, who was only a couple of months
old and still nursing, and bring him back, or if I should just go
home to stay, and come back early in the morning to pick him up).
My MIL cut in ON the conversation, saying, "Go home. I'm staying
the night with him. Go feed your baby." This she proclaimed
without consulting me or my DH. But, it helped me out of a jam
with what to do with my DS. We both let it slide. She ended up
bringing my DH home in the morning, when he was discharged. My
DH came into the house, still kinda out of it from the meds. He
sat in his chair and zoned in and out. His mother started saying
how she'd help him with anything he needed, since he only had one
hand to work with. All the while, she went on and on. I'm thinking,
"I'm his wife. I can help him with anything he needs."
Then, she said, "If you need help showering, let me know and
I'll come over and help you." At this point, I looked at my
DH, wondering if I had just heard what I thought I'd heard. He
replied, "No thanks. I think my wife can take care of that."
Signed - GROSS!

My older DD just turned
5, and the baby is 9 months old. MIL tries to override everything
I say. I said that DD had to eat dinner before she could have candy,
and MIL said, "Just let her have it. It will not hurt her."
DD threw a huge tantrum and I gave in because MIL would not leave
until her "baby" was happy. She then proceeded to tell
me not to be so hard on DD, and not tell her daddy when she is being
bad. I should just lie, if he asks. DH was livid when he came
home from work. He called and yelled at her for a good 20 minutes.
She still crosses the line on occasion. DD had to get a flu shot
the other day, along with her other vaccinations. MIL found out,
and this is what she said, "But, I didn't want her to get the
H1N1 shot." It's always about her! She spoils my DD to the
point where my child cries about everything to get her way, and
threatens to tell grandma! The woman had 4 boys, and the older
two are just worthless because she gave them their way in everything.
The oldest is nearly 30 (no job, home, or anything). The other
is living at grandma's, without a job or anything. DH and his twin
are the ones with places to live, jobs and lives (which MIL interferes
with constantly). My DH's twin has a DF, and she avoids MIL like
the plague. Yet, MIL loves her to death. She always talks about
her and the upcoming wedding (she tried to talk DH out of marrying
me and did not attend our wedding). Better FSIL than me! Is it
wrong to pray that FSIL will get pregnant, so MIL will go bug her!
LOL. The latest incident is my DD's schooling. MIL offered to
pay for it, $31 a week for preschool. Sure, MIL, you can pay for
it. DH called for the money for the last week of the month. Nope,
she said that she "cannot pay everyone's bills". Really?
She could have just said, "I can't afford it this week."
We have never asked her to pay our bills. She offered to pay for
the school, if we enrolled DD. So, we decided that we would pay
for it ourselves and not involve her in any way!
Signed - Stop Interfering,
Witch!!!
