FMIL VENT

Ok, so , I decided to spend the day with FMIL, FSIL and Jt's neice today since she graduated from pre-school and I haven't seen them in a long time. Well, as some of you might remember, I posted last weekend that FSIL just had a miscarriage. She is VERY depressed and she thought that going out shopping might take her mind off of it, so we did. And it did help her. Great. Long story short.....
I am giving FMIL a ride home from FSIL house before, and she starts ranting about how she TOLD FSIL she would lose the baby, and how she didn't want to listen to her and why was she paying the doctors money for things that she already told her. Then she was saying how FSIL (her own flesh and blood, mind you) is just slow and dim and doesn't get things like you need to wait at least a year before you try again after a miscarriage (FSIL had a miscarriage in Nov. as well). So I am just sitting there listening and not saying anything, and she just continued to bash her daughter in the worst way and it just spun off into a whole tangeant about how great she(FMIL) is and how everyone else is an idiot.
She is just so self-centered and everything is about how she's right and how her daughter is an @sshole. I can't take her. She is SO negative that I am in an awful, depressed mood now. She even started the whole bit about, 'How dare so and so talk to me with an attitude! I HAVE CANCER AND I AM SICK, AND STILL, I CLEAN MY HOUSE AND COOK DINNER, BLAH, blah, blah....' Needless to say, she DOES NOT HAVE CANCER! She HAD cancer 4 years ago and has been fine ever since. My insides are in a ball of frustration right now and I just need to come to terms with the fact that this will be my MIL.

Oh my god, she just called me. She's on the phone now talking smack about her daughter! HELP HELP HELP HELP! W T F?????? I mean really? W T F???

That is horrible that she is putting you in that position. How could someone talk about their daughter that way?

Obviously it's easy for her. She does it enough. I'm just so upset. I just can't take her.

LOL would you like me to beep in??

HELP, PLEASE! Haha

This is why I LOVE my caller ID!!!

WOW!!! She needs attention badly. Guess her daughter doesn't give it to her so she is looking for it from you.

My MIL kind of does that too. She calls me to complain about my FIL. She hates him. It is so weird.

My fmil wrote me this in an email. There was no reason fh hasn't even talked to her in a couple of weeks...

You two better not be fighting or arguing over this wedding...it's not a good way to start your life together.

xoxoxoxo
mom

I thought it was strange

Hmmm.......My FMIL tells me anytime she hears that JT and I had an argument, 'All it takes is to sit down and hold hands across the table. That's all.' Like, give me a break, yeah, all life's problems can be solved that way. Maybe that's why no one in her family can voice their true feelings to eachother. They're too busy pretending everythings ok and holding hands!

If I had a dollar for everytime she just said that to me before, I would have my entire wedding paid for!
And she makes me so uncomfortable because she bashes her daughter and then spends 10 minutes telling me how much she loves me and how we are on the same wavelength and she can't have that with her own daughter and she is so lucky to have me. I'm drained from talking to her.

She wouldn't listen anyway. She hears someone else's voice besides her own and then trails off. She apparently thinks only her opinions matter. Go figure, right?
