Worst gift:  MIL always gives me some sort of foul smelling lotion.  This year it smelled like our lawn and ginger.  I also got a cookbook of some sort.  The creepiest gift she ever gave me was at a wedding shower that she threw for me.  She gave me a pair of my DF's recently deceased father's giraffe g-string.  I was mortified, as I was in front of all of her friends and family, most of whom I had either just met for the first time, or had only met previously at the funeral.  Needless to say, I conveniently left it there.  DH was also mortified.

frequent fry her - Outsider DIL Frequent Fry Her TM. - The Outsider DIL/Posted: 27-JAN-10
My MIL is whining about our unborn child's gender.  We found out earlier this week that we are having a little girl!!!  I am so excited.  We already have a 2 year old boy, and now he will have a sister!!!  MIL, however, has done nothing but whine and pretty much ignore me since we found out that we were having a girl.  When she and FIL came to our house to see the ultrasound pictures, she ignored me (didn't talk to me, etc.).  Then, she suggested that she and my DH take a trip to the grocery store, just the 2 of them, leaving FIL, DS and me.  MIL didn't even say bye to me.  She just walked out the door.  When DH came back, his mother was not with him.  She told DH to tell FIL to come down to their apartment when he got hungry.  Also, every time she sees me, she either complains that my belly is crooked (I think she considers this an insult to me, as she says this in her "point-and-laugh" voice), or she completely ignores me and refuses to talk to me or acknowledge me.  She also has demanded that my DH do our grocery shopping with her.  I HATE shopping with her, because all she does the entire time is nitpick everything that I put in the cart.  The food isn't nutritious enough, the juice is too sugary, the cups have something wrong with them, etc.  BTW, I water DS's juice down, and she knows this.  All the snacks I get for him are age appropriate, and most of them are organic and/or low on the junk foodometer on purpose.  I eat pretty healthy regardless, and no this is not a new thing, either.  I don't get her whining or her treatment of me, for that matter.  When BIL and SIL (the other DIL) found out that they were having a boy, MIL and FIL took everyone out to dinner to celebrate.  They haven't even so much as suggested it to us this time, nor did they offer to celebrate with us when I was expecting DS.  This woman also suggested that my oldest child (who died at 2 1/2 months from SIDS) being a girl was "a fluke", because males in her DH's family don't have girls, for the most part (except one brother, who has 4).  She blames me for DD's death, which she told me not long after she died .
