Before DH and I got engaged, DH told his parents and brother that he was going to propose to me.  I had no idea.  DH then took me for a lovely weekend away, and he proposed.  The next morning, he told me that we should stop by his parent's house so they could congratulate us.  I didn't really want to go, because walking into their home is like walking into a refrigerator.  However, he was really excited and wanted us to go there.  I had no idea that they all knew he had proposed.  When we arrived, his brother was playing video games (he is 26 years old).  From across the room, he looked up, for a brief moment, said, "Congratulations," and kept playing his game.  He didn't even get up, for a second, for a warm hug, nothing.  Then, the evil FMIL said, in a low, monotonous voice, "So, are you happy now?"  I can't recall how I answered.  I think I must have mumbled something.  DH defends her, and says it is because English is not her first language.  But, she speaks it better than my mother.  My mother's reaction would never have been bored, monotonous, etc.  It's not what she said, but the tone she said it in.  Come to think of it, what she said was pretty horrible, too.

        Signed - Welcome To The Family
        ( responses to this story )        ( here is my story )

I'm engaged, and we are expecting in August.  There are three people in my family (mom, my little brother, and me).  DF's family is a huge family with a diverse background.  The grandma (evil mother-in-law) is the trunk of the tree.  They decided that I know nothing about family, raising children, cooking or cleaning.  However, I am a nanny, house cleaner, and cook for my family.  Because of my background, they say that I don't know.  I tried many times to get through her stories, lectures, lessons, etc., but she says I am stubborn and don't listen.  She even told me that I shouldn't even be with her GS.  The reason is because I refuse to spoil or do everything for him, unlike her.  She has this habit, which makes me want to scream and run for the hills, where she says, "Well, us (2 nationalities) do it this way, but I don't know how you '(my race) people' do it."  Then, the lecture goes on.  I don't know if I can handle her or the family much longer, especially when . . .
