Down with in-laws

I'm sorry, Nikki :(. I don't have any now, so I've no worries in that dept. Though if his mom had lived to see us marry, I know she'd have been a pita. I was never good enough for her. She was still trying to find him girls to date after we were engaged,lol.
 
Awww, (((Hugs))) Nikki...I really, really dislike mine too. Common sense missed my MIL big time!
 
I'm sorry bout the in-laws... mine have their problems, but I'm luckily blessed. Sorry girls!
 
I'm so sorry. *hugs*

I enjoy my current ILs, but my former MIL was a piece of work. Seriously the most passive-aggressive person on the planet.

'Does anyone think it's cold in here?'
'Is anyone hungry?'
'Does anyone want to watch Oprah/Dr. Phil?'

At first, I would answer honestly until I came to realize what she really meant was that SHE was cold and SHE was hungry and SHE wanted to watch that show. She wanted ME to get up and change the temperature or ME to make her a turkey sandwich with her special mayo or ME sit with her for an hour and listen to her go on and on about how smart Dr. Phil and Oprah were.

Ugh.

After that, I would just tell her, 'No.' and smile sweetly. I loved watching her try to hide her frustration over having to do things for herself.

Not to mention she had saved every card she'd ever received for the past 40 years in big boxes that sat on her bed (so she had to sleep on the couch)... or that she had big trashbags full of junk mail waiting to be shredded because she was positive the day she threw one away with her name and address on it that a horrible man would snatch it out of the trash and steal her identity... or that she refused to leave the house at night without something over her mouth and nose because 'night air made you sick.'

Like I said, I'm sorry. BTDT.
 
So sorry!!

Mine both passed away...my mil 16 years ago, and my fil 17 years ago. We miss them.

I'm trying really hard not to become the mil from hell though (although my boys aren't married yet...two have been living with their gf's for several years...) It's hard because NO one is good enough for my boys! So, I try to keep my mouth shut and be sweet!!
 
I feel your pain Nikki. I hardly talk to his family OR mine. I hope it all works out. And who needs family when you have all of us?
 
Hugs Nikki! I totally know where you are coming from and I've been dealing with my psycho MIL since I was 16. It has finally come to the point where I've blocked her from emailing me and I don't answer the phone if their phone number or cell number comes up on the caller ID.
