My MIL brags that she
never studied in school. She is a lawyer who never passed the bar,
even though she took it many times. She was a docent, not earning
money, spending her family's money. She says that she bought her
house to "make a statement". Her parents paid for DW
and BIL's education, but she refuses to contribute a dime for her
GC. But, she makes fun of them because they attend public schools.
She complains that her DD doesn't drive a sufficiently fancy car.
And, she says that DW and I should be grateful that she and my FIL
don't currently intend to come to us asking for money.

- The Outsider DIL/Posted: 9-FEB-10
Last night, MIL actually suggested that DH,
DS and I move into the vacant apartment RIGHT NEXT DOOR TO HERS!!!
She was suggesting this like I would love it. Yeah, we would love
to live in an apartment right up next to theirs, so she can hear
every word we say to each other and know about everything DH and
I do. That way, she can meddle even more than she already does
with us living a block away. Why don't we just move back into the
house? It would be almost exactly the same, and we all know how
much I LOVED that (*sarcasm*). Fortunately, DH said, "No,"
as it would be too much like living at the house. Not to mention
that after the baby is born, we are going to need more space than
what we currently have here. And, we will need it to be more quiet.
For what we are paying for rent here, we could have a nice rental
house. We might even have a house payment. That apartment is fine
for MIL and FIL by themselves, but it is really no bigger than the
apartment that DS, DH and I share. MIL keeps conveniently forgetting
that we have a little girl on the way. I think she thinks that
if she ignores it enough, it will just go away, which isn't going
to happen. She also had FIL call my DH from work to let him know
that MIL didn't have her cell phone, just in case we needed to get
a hold of her. As if we call her every so often anyway. Both of
us were kind of like, "And?" It's like I told DH, "If
he was a 16 year old kid and needed to be picked up from HS or something,
I could see them calling him and letting him know that." But,
DH is in his 30's? Come on. Even if we had some emergency, and
we called her without this "knowledge" and didn't get
a hold of her, we still have the capacity to call FIL, of our own
accord!! Imagine that!!! Besides the fact that FIL would be the
more practical one to call anyway, as he gets off work earlier.
He is closer to our delivery hospital, which is where we would more
likely be headed, if there was an emergency!!!! This woman is so
clingy and codependent that it is ridiculous. I cannot even imagine
being like this when my kids are older. Late summer is looking
better, as that is when our lease is up. We plan on looking for
a bigger, nicer rental house for the same price (or probably even
less). We are looking further away.
