I am sooooooo soooo upset over the ILs I can't even express it.  Thank God I found this site !!!  Frankly, for the first time, I am wondering why I chose to get married.  Honestly, I haven't just married my DH, I married his whole loony family!!!  I was a very pampered (yes, even spoiled) DD, and my parents used to dote on me.  My every whim was catered to, and I had made this fact clear to my DH.  But, my MIL and her loony sisters (yup, even the extended family is soooo bloody involved) have made my life a living he!!.  All day, they do nothing but gossip about me.  I don't behave like a perfect DIL.  I haven't lived up to their expectations.  In fact, their own DDs are totally useless and totally brainless!!!  I am allergic to certain food items and can't eat them, but my MIL makes sure that only those items are prepared.  Since she stays with us, I am not allowed to cook foods of my own choice!!!  It's so hard for me.  First, I had to move out of my parents' home at this damn young age (gosh I know I am acting silly, but I cant help but cry).  DH and I are actually paying all the loans and mortgages on our house, while she does nothing the whole day but blow off money with her friends.  The whole burden of having to do the housework falls on me (me, who never lifted a finger in her life).  I prepare all the food when she decides to throw parties.  She actually gossips away (about me) in front of her friends, while I am the one getting frazzled with all the details.  She waits for the very last minute, and so all the responsibility falls on me!!!  What is ironic is how she pretended to be all sugar and spice during our dating phase, like I was the DD she never had.  She said that she was dying for us to get married.  Since DH is the only son, she just decided to move in with us.  And I, like a freak, supported her idea.  I was petrified of staying alone, and so wanted her guidance.  What a naive fool I was.

I invited her over for dinner.  I made enchiladas.  When it was time to go home, I asked her if she would take her sister a plate.  She said, "No!"  I looked at her and said, "What?"  And she said, "No!"  I said, "Fine," and went into my room.  I could hear her telling my DH that she was just kidding with me.  But, she was not.  I like her sister.  I wish she was my MIL!  A year later, her sister passed away.  I never got over that.  Now, she's coming over this weekend!  I'm dreading it.  She makes me so uncomfortable.  It's been six years since I've seen the woman.

        Signed - YIKES
