- The Outsider DIL, 1 of 4 needed/Posted:
19-JAN-10
Last night we went out to dinner for SIL's birthday. DS got fussy
before the food came, so DH took him out. We have also been trying
to teach him not to throw fits while we are out, especially at restaurants,
as he has gotten more and more tantrum-y since he hit 1 year. DH
came back with him when the food came, and we fed him. Then he
started screaming. So, I took him out of the high chair. He continued
to scream and MIL offered to take him. But, I knew that he would
just continue to scream because he wouldn't want to go to her.
DH wasn't there, so I went for a walk down to the bookstore, which
was down the street. When I came back, they were leaving to go
to some dessert place. SIL wanted to go, too. So, we walked with
them all the way down to this place, which was at the other end
of the street. We went in, and DS started trying to make himself
throw up (he does this when he gets bored). He almost succeeded
a couple of times before I held his hands away from his mouth.
He then started screaming again. I was getting looks of death from
a guy in the corner, who I believe was the owner. We were also
disturbing several customers, so I took DS outside. MIL asked about
getting him an ice cream. Like he needed it - it was well after
9:30 pm at this point. Besides, he didn't need the sugar. I told
her, "No," because he didn't need the sugar this late.
She felt the need to ask me this as I was hauling my screaming child
out the door, while receiving dirty looks from virtually every customer
in the establishment, as well as the owners at this point. I got
him outside and we looked at the shop windows. DS was fighting
me tooth and nail while I tried to put him into the car seat. He
is very strong for his age, and you have to practically pin him
in the car seat in order to get him fastened in it properly. During
this ordeal, DH decided to come at me about putting him in the car
seat. I told him, "You wanna do this? Fine. Here. Have
a ball." Then I walked off. I came back when he was done
putting DS in his car seat, and got into the car. Then, when we
got home, MIL started doing her cutesy, "Mommy, I'm tired,"
thing that she does when she wants me to go away so she can be alone
with my DH. She says things to him that inevitably end up causing
us to have an argument. I went upstairs, because at this point
I was furious with her. I know that she and her husband are going
to use this as a reason to b!tch me out later. I know that DH and
I are going to have yet another argument caused by his mother.
Sure enough, when I talk to him later, he will start in with the
criticism, "You don't do this right." "You should
feed him more (which I know came from his mother - she thinks that
a veggie burger or the soy nuggets we give him from time to time
don't count as food, and the only thing that does count, in her
opinion, is meat, and lots of it)." He will say that I shouldn't
have taken DS out of the restaurant when he was screaming. Instead,
I should have given him to someone else, etc. This, after the everyday
criticism of my parenting from both MIL and FIL. Now SIL has started
trying to join in. GMIL tries to yell at me about how I raise my
child, and now DH decides it's a good time to get in on the action?
I am so mad as I write this - it is almost unbelievable to even
me. I love DH, but he lays in bed most of the day and doesn't work.
His mother, from what I can tell, is a pathological liar with codependency
issues. This is in addition to her being one of the most manipulative
people I have ever met. The only other one being my own mother.
FIL lets MIL have whatever she wants all the time because he thinks
that if he doesn't, she will cheat on him again. He believes the
ridiculous lies that MIL spins, even though she % &*ed his best
friend and cheated on him for months, if not years, with said best
friend. He comes after me because I refuse to believe what I know
is a lie. This woman has lied to me, more times than I can begin
to count, about everything from the important to the mundane everyday
cr@p. She is now pawning off GMIL on her sister and brother for
the next 4 months because she's "so exhausted from taking care
of her". Yeah, I'm sure that seeing her for about a total
of 45 minutes a day, during which time you feed her dinner and put
her to bed, is positively exhausting (and MIL isn't that old - she
is only in her 40's). The rest of the time, she makes my DH and
me or FIL take care of her and clean up after her. She refused
to hire a nighttime care giver for GMIL, even though it has been
recommended strongly by more than one person who gives her care
(physical therapist, doctor, etc.). She makes DH do it so he can't
get a paying job, and then she has a way to manipulate him and control
his entire life.
