future MIL RANT

OMG!!!! She is the FMIL form H*. How are you gonna stomach her for the rest of your life?? She sounds really unstable, but at least your FH caught her and he's on your side. My Advice: Stay as far away fro her on your weddig day as possible, you don't need the negative vibes!

I have the same thing!!! When we were engaged she made sure that the check was only written out to my FH (in case we broke up of course) If he died, she commented that she would take me to court to get what's rightfully hers, my house (if we are unmarried). so, I protected myself and put everything in my name and got Life insurance and I'm the beneficiary! My FMIL said to me, 'You make my son unhappy.' 'I don't care if I am included in your plans. You're not married, so you're not family.' When it was my birthday, she gave me a coffeepot and didn't even call! they had a family reunion and invited my FSIL's in-laws and excluded my parents...and blamed it on someone else. As far as my house goes, her comments go as follows, 'you can out down sticky floors..it doesn't have to be nice. Why put ceramic?'

She also said to my FH, 'You don't have to get 1 ct ring...a little less is fine.'
Now, she tells us when she's coming over to my house (even though we had plans) then she lays this guilt trip of, 'I haven't seen you..' Meanwhile she just plopped herself at my house 5 days earlier!

Basically, these women are insane...I am learning how to deal with it. I no longer comment on her insanity and basically she puts her foot in her mouth constantly. the less you say, the more they hurt themselves. even though she said she didn't want to be included, I invite anyway to show my FH that I am not crazy, your mother is a problem and she won't go out of her way for me (it makes her look bad everytime she's included and says no)

I could rant and rave forever on this one! she really is just an unfamiliar breed to me and my family (especially to my parents since they too are in-laws themselves) I am so glad to hear that others have this same problem!

For my birthday...I got a Clinique gift bag. You know the one you get free with a $50 purchase. But there wasn't Clinique makeup in it . There was a little Mary Kay, a little Max Factor, a little Avon and no name crap. Basically all the crap she didn't want from various makeup kits over the years.

At Christmas, I saw Christmas Vacation with my future SIL who gets treated equally as badly. We were dying about the grandma who regifts presents. *Remember she wrapped the cat!!!* The whole time we opened presents we were meowing at each other.



It's the little things that keep us sane!

I think it was the weekend for FMILs..... I have been asking my FMIL for a list of people (family) for the wedding. Well, 6 months later, still no list. so last weekend, I called again to ask again for the list and she said she was watching the dog show on channel 44 and I should put it on... She totally didn't even comprehend what I was saying, or if I was saying anything at all.... So as we were ending the call, i purposely said, thanks for doing the list this week.....

This weekend comes, and FH calls, and still no list!!!! As FH is talking to her, telling her that we have things we have to do (STDs, favors...) she starts rattling off people off the top of her head, and then she was like well, I'm not sure... Now FH is mad. So he gave her until the end of the week to do this. We'll see....

This is why I'm happy I see my FMIL once every 2 mts... now, my stepmom is another story....

I am so sorry you had to go through that.
