FMIL

My FH b-day is long gone and still this F&$%*ng self centered woman hasn't called him! he says she prolly forgot cause he doesn't live close to her anymore, but BS my bosses mom called him from GREECE on his bday and he is a 43 year old man! HOW RUDE!

she has always been like this, but its not like all her children are gone one still lives with her she is just the type of person who really should have stopped after one kid b/c she can only focus her attention on one thing (person) at a time and for the past few years it hasn't been my baby boy. :( I don't think it ever will be all about him, I'm thankful he deals with it okay. I just wrap him up in love and so does my family so he is better now than what he was. Deep inside i know it still hurts him but he is okay

good for you. i have a similiar sitaution w/my FMIL, but kind of the opposite. see, she is very lazy work wise and just plain does not want to work. but she does, part time as a teacher's aide, nothing wrong with that. she feels that she should stay home for her kids. Ok, her 'kids' are 18, 20, and 24, not kids anymore. she gets so wrapped up in them that she can barely see anything that goes on around her. the whole family is like that, bad news travels like wildfire, but good news, like our engagement (yeah!) started out telling everyone, but then the flames burnt out. it gets very frustrating i understand, make sure y'all talk about it amongst yourselves. hope things get better
