I feel badly for the people who live close to a mean
MIL. My DH and I live several states away from where his family
lives, so I don't have to put up with a whole lotta cr@p all of the
time. However, frequent phone calls are made asking DH for help.
I've said before that we've helped my MIL out, and because of her
attitude, DH has told her "No" several times. Recently,
MIL had her eldest daughter taken away, accused of child abuse.
I don't know DH's family well enough to say whether or not this is
true, but from what everyone tells me, MIL does not hit her children.
Her eldest daughter is 17 years old, and she has a 6 month old baby
girl. MIL told her that she could no longer see the baby's father.
This is what "set her off", and she called the police.
Now, when MIL calls our home, she never says, "Hello," or,
"How are you?" She just asks for DH. The day
of the court hearing, she called up, knowing that DH was not home.
She started telling me what happened. So, this was a little
shocking (that she was even speaking with me). She sounded very
upset, so I listened to what she had to say. And, it was at
that point that I realized that she was not upset about the daughter
actually leaving, but she was upset that the child support money would
no longer be received. Later on, when DH got home, he called
her up, and MIL was crying about how she would now have to get a job
(now that she was not getting child support for the one daughter).
DH told MIL that she SHOULD have a job anyway, and she can't live
off of child support forever. Well, MIL started talking about
how she would go homeless and blah, blah, blah, blah. DH knew
that she was exaggerating quit a bit, and told her how he knows that
she's upset, but she should know that no one is going to let her go
homeless. And, he told her that she wouldn't go homeless anyway
if she just went and found a job. MIL has two boys. One
lives 10 minutes away from her. And, she has DH, who lives out
here. Well, MIL took DH's words literally, and she thought that
it was an invite to live with us. MIL told FIL (who is divorced
from her) that DH invited her AND her 15 year old, who still lives
with her, to live with us. FIL knew that it didn't sound right,
so he called us up to ask about it. DH told FIL that it was
not true - he had only told her that we wouldn't let her go homeless.
He called MIL to clear up everything. DH said that she sounded
angry when she said, "I wasn't even thinking about staying with
you anyway." What an upset.

DH and my MIL just got in an argument over SIL.
While visiting, MIL hyped SIL up over her wedding. SIL is only
17, but she just had a baby. So MIL said that she would sign
consent papers when the time came. Now that the time has come,
MIL won't sign because she still hasn't gotten a job, and needs child
support (which MIL receives for SIL and SIL's child as well).

SIL

My husband and I visited his mother. It was the
first time I'd met her, due to the fact that we're in the Military.
Apparently, she had gotten into a huge fight with her current husband,
and he had left her, telling her that she was much too controlling,
and he felt that he had no life. Unfortunately, he bought the
house that they were living in, and payments are almost $700 dollars.
She has never been able to keep a job, due to her drinking problem,
and looks for money from only one child, my husband. I told
my husband that we couldn't afford it, and the last time "we"
gave her money (more like I gave her money), she never thanked me
for it. She only sent us $250 out of the $500 we gave her, and
she has the nerve to rudely comment, "It is a wedding gift."
Anyway, she told her ex-husband that he would have to keep making
payments on the house, so, of course, he does. Being as pushy
as she is, she wanted to make sure that he had made payments.
Instead of calling him herself, however, she has her 16 and 15 year
old call him. She had my husband call him as well, asking every
5 minutes if he had called "that jerk" yet. At one
point, she had gotten on the phone and talked for 45 minutes.
When she got off, she yelled at my husband, "Have you called
him yet!? What is taking so freaking long!?" Hurt,
he pointed out that she was on the phone and he couldn't call.
She stuffed the phone into his hand and told him to do it "right
that second". Then, like a jr. high school girl, she ran
into the next room saying, "Oh! I don't even want to hear
the conversation." She laughed and shut the door.

I met my husband in the Military while stationed in
Asia. We were coworkers, friends, and drinking buddies.
After spending so much time together, we decided to start dating.
He had never told me about an ex-girlfriend back home, who did not
know that he no longer had feelings for her. He hadn't spoken
to any family members in months, so I made him call his mother (and
lent him my calling card). After finding out that he had met
another girl, she became furious with him, and said that his ex still
assumed that they were dating, even though they hadn't spoken or written
for almost a year. After he broken it off officially with his
ex, his mother sent slanderous letters to him about me, saying that
I was nothing more than a piece of @Ss These letters persisted
for months, until she received a DUI charge, and I pitched in close
to $500 dollars to help her out. She never thanked me, only
DH, even though most of the money was mine.

Was Mine

While visiting his family, we, unfortunately, stayed
at his mother's house. I was just about 6 months pregnant.
His mother tasked my husband out for a whole week, making sure that
the jobs she gave him, even though he was on vacation, were jobs that
I could not help with while pregnant. I was constantly left
alone in their creepy home for the whole day, and wouldn't see my
hubby till the evening. She came to me one day and laughed about
how I must be so bored without DH around. She said that she
couldn't think of any more jobs for him to do, so I could have him
back - just until she found another job to do around the house.

My MIL lost her job while we were visiting her.
As soon as she found out, she decided to get sloppy drunk. My
husband took away her car keys and debit card because she had already
had a million DUIs. She called later that night, asking for
a ride back home. When she got in the car, she demanded to go
to another bar, only to call us back 10 minutes later, saying that
she wanted to come home. Again, when she got in the car, she
asked to go to another bar. And, the same thing ended up happening.
Finally, she wanted to go to her current "boyfriend's" apartment.
Along the way, like she had done so many times in letters, she spat
out that she felt that DH and I are nothing but "Bed Buddies".
We had been married for 7 months at that point, and I felt pretty
offended by the comment. I asked DH to talk with her about it
when she was sober. She told him that she would apologize.
Days later, neither "I apologize" or "I'm sorry"
came out of her lips. We only got the excuse of, "I don't
remember saying it."

While at home one night, I was on the Internet writing
some e-mail to a friend. DH's mother called up not long after
I had signed off for the night. She told her son that she had
given his ex girlfriend (of four years) our home phone number, and
she didn't think that it was a problem. Angry, I told DH to
call her back up and let her know that it WAS a problem, and that
she should inform us before giving out phone numbers. His ex-girlfriend
called within 10 seconds of his mother hanging up. After he
had gotten her e-mail address, he hung up with her and proceeded to
call his mom back up. When he asked why she didn't ask permission
first, she simply said, "I didn't think it was a big deal!"
This is coming from a woman who won't let her husband watch fully
clothed women on TV and blocks channels out.

Was A Big Deal!
