Bad Mother IN Law Stories
So we take care of my MIL. AS soon as my business got big enough last year, I bought my own home. I could not take, taking care of her anymore.
It was just sprung on me that hubby has to work... and I will be ALONE with my MIL all Thanksgiving Day. NO other family. The rest of her family hates her as well.. and always has other things to do. She is 89.
Some horrible things she's done in the past:
ON Halloween, I'd heard she'd never carved pumpkins before. I spent $50 on pumpkin carving kits, large pumpkins, markers, apple cider.. and I bought her a new pair of pajamas to spend the day with me decorating pumpkins... Hubby gets home from work.. and she tells him, "She came really close to abusing me today by MAKING me carve the pumpkins. SHe wouldn't let me stop and I think she's hurt my hand."
One time while wearing kitten heels (low high heels).... I walked out and showed them to her.. in a gorgeous dress... we were going to the symphony... and she said, "Will those hold you?" (referencing my weight).
Last Thanksgiving, while watching the Macy's Day Parade... hubby goes, "That's PSSuperstars Jr right there.." (of course using my real name... and he was referring to Meredith Viera.. who I look like a little bit).. and my MIL goes, "Meredith Viera's never been that fat."
When hubby stays over at my house for an extended period of time.. she'll do things like unplug her fridge on "accident".... so all her food goes bad.. and he feels bad for leaving her for longer than 8 hours... or he's caught her hiding food... so when he comes home it looks like he left her with nothing.. so he'll feel bad.
WHen he and I are fighting, she tells me no one will ever love me because I don't have Christ in my heart.
OH and in general, lol some stupid shit:
She thinks that the storms are the color that they are on the TV screen... so like, say during Hurricane Ike.. she kept asking at 3am as our beams are flexing in and out, "IS it red outside? Why isnt it red outside?"... She also did this with Hurricane Rita... and every other huge thunderstorm that comes thru.
I have to dry her spaghetti noodles off with a papertowel.. because she says that I don't cook them right.. and if there's water on the plate at all.. I messed up.
She refuses to put her teeth in... so anytime I cook.. things have to be soft and mushy.. and if it's not.. we get a HUGE guilt trip.
She is an EEEEEEEEEEEVIL old lady. Hubby won't put her in a home because he knows she won't be able to make friends... and I guess he has too much of a heart to let her go. Dunno.
