Worst gift: For my birthday
last week, my MIL invited me out for lunch. I was about to order
when the waitress came by, but MIL suggested we order an appetizer
first. So, we did. After that, the waitress came by and asked
if we were ready to order yet. MIL said that she was so full.
The waitress asked me if I wanted coffee or tea before she brought
us the bill??? I was thinking to myself, "You manipulative
witch!! You are taking me out for lunch. I didn't even eat yet,
and you are asking for the bill," which was 14 dollars. At
lunch, she also gave me a gift. She gave me earrings in a Swarovski
box, which were in an original Swarovski gift bag. I had a funny
feeling when I opened the box, because they looked used an smelled
strongly of her perfume. So, when I got home, I typed in the item
number on the bottom of the box. Sure enough, the box matched the
earrings we got her for Christmas. So, she gave me a used old pair
of her earrings and tried to pawn them off as the real deal Swarovski,
along with a half @ssed lunch.

- The Outsider DIL/Posted: 31-MAR-10
DH keeps telling me not to buy things for
the baby, that "someone" is throwing me a shower? He
keeps saying this any time I start looking at/ buying baby clothes,
etc. However, I don't see who it would be. My mother and the majority
of my family have been out of the picture for a while (the family
that I do have live in another state). MIL has been less than interested
in my pregnancy. She actually said that I ruined her vacation by
getting pregnant. She has been very passive-aggressive towards
me, especially since we found out the sex. There have been several
other wonderful comments/actions. DH's aunt actually made the comment,
"When is THAT (referring to my belly) due?" She did not
seem to remember that DH had told her the sex when we found out
months ago, or that I was even pregnant to begin with. She is not
old enough for age, etc., to be an excuse. So, I highly doubt that
she is the one throwing me a shower, even though she is the same
one who threw one of 6 baby showers for SIL. This only leaves DH's
small group of friends. It is not very likely that it will be one
of them, as most of them aren't in the position to do this, for
one reason or another. The same goes for most of my friends. MIL
also has, in not so many words, told me that I am on my own when
it comes to providing clothes, diapers, etc., for this one. This
is because I am having a girl, and she has no interest in our DD,
as it isn't a boy. After having to provide everything for all of
my other children (DS, and his older sister, who passed away years
ago) I hadn't expected her to step up. However, I think DH thinks
that she is going to just suddenly go and buy this stuff. He also
seems to think that she is going to go and buy diapers once the
baby is born. I cannot rely on her to do that, as well as I would
like to have some already here so that we are not having to run
out and buy some the minute she gets here. DH also thinks that
one of his friends, who has a little girl, is going to give us a
bunch of stuff. But, this friend isn't exactly "reliable",
in my opinion. I am going on 7 1/2 months, and I am limited on
funds. I cannot afford to wait until right before the baby is supposed
to come, and make a mad buying dash for things that I could have
gotten on sale. What should I do? Should I wait and see if DH
is right, or should I just ignore him and get the things that we
are going to need?
