MIL flameful (starting new thread, lol)

[iamali]

Cheers!

[scotty]

12 hours in a crate is asinine.

[cleo29]

Yeah, for once I can agree with your MIL, especially given their own dog's dislike of your H's dog.

[scotty]

I hear you. My dogs would pay me back. lol Explosive diarrhea.

[julez]

Omaha zoo? You live in the area? Oooh, you may have to come for the Lazlo's fries and beer extravaganza when I visit deanlicker this summer.

[sneetch]

It's a win-win!

[kellbell191]

This sounds like win win win for everyone. Especially the dog. And after all the ridiculous shit she has pulled, if this is what gets him pissed off at her, I say about time.

[scotty]

Also, I think that you may have one of the worst MILs, ever. Kudos for not verbally assaulting her every chance you get. The table in the hallway story is epic. I would have slapped her.

[wrathofkuus]

You couldn't just have your next door neighbor let the dog out into the yard for a couple of hours?

[sneetch]

Ooh, I'm still rather new 'round these parts. What's the table in the hallway story?

[livinitup]

Love it.

[wrathofkuus]

Oh hell, we all have keys to each other's houses.

[WOT?*]

SueSue you've got to tell that one for Sneetch. No sense on the newbies missing out. That story is classic MIL from Hell-ness.

Does DH ever get pissed at MIL on your behalf? I would hope so, after 25 years of it. You deseve a medal for putting up with her that long. Holy hell you'd think she'd have given up on her MILshittiness by now.

So glad I don't have MIL drama. I've been blessed with good ones both times.

[sneetch]

Holy shit! I can't believe she sent you to eat in the hallway. By yourself. With a tray table. On Christmas.

Worst MIL ever.

[julez]

OMG, sue_sue - how have I missed that story?! You win - yes, indeed.

[kellbell191]

I'm trying to figure out ways you can ride this into the ground.

I would start suggesting he ask MIL to watch the dog every time you go anywhere.

[scotty]

Oh, man. That one never gets old. When I picture your MIL in this story, I picture Kevin Spacey's mother in The Ref. If you haven't see it, great movie.

Daaamn!

I second this.

[lust2hart]

I think we should make Sue Sue's Christmas dinner story a sticky since it gets asked for so often.

[TemperanceBrennan]

SueSue have you ever watched Monster-in-Laws on A&E? It's a reality show with bad in-laws. A therapist comes in and tries to help them work out their problems.

[TemperanceBrennan]

Yeah, it's definitely not a happy show. I've only seen a couple of episodes and I'm usually speechless.

[amberlyrose]

SueSue- Your MIL sounds a lot like my step grandmother.

She would always ask my mom to cook an "authentic Mexican dinner" for family or friends coming in from the east coast. Of course, my mom just went to Walmart and bought the pre-made tacos shells and Pace Picante because she despised the woman but loved the family coming in.
One time, she asked my mom for help with some friends mom had never met, and while she was in the kitchen, mom overheard SMIL tell the guests that my mom was the mexican maid. My mom came out and introduced herself as my dad's wife with a big smile

With the crap my mother put up with from my dad's family, I will always consider her a saint. I'm sure your kids think the same of you!

[amberlyrose]

Yeah. She also told my great grandma that my mom was black (because that is totally worse, I guess?!.. anyway) and she needed to come QUICK to talk my dad out of marrying her.
She came. Said "Oh, wait, you're not black! Just a little dark!" and my mom took her out drinking with my aunts and they fell in love with each other and bonded in their dislike of SMIL

Kell I think that is a SMASHING idea, and I will suggest it. He was so sure she'd say yes, because she's his MOM, etc etc and was really dashed when she declined. He'll be ready to give her another chance before too long. lol

ha! "hubby you know? she still owes you for that time she said no"

[Deleted]

My MIL constantly trashes me to everyone else in the family. She threw a fit months ago bc she offered money to H & I (for no good reason) and we declined. She supports her other two children and their spouses, and uses her money to bait them into doing what she wants all the time.

[krismill]

Another not creepy Nebraskan chiming in - Lazlos fries and beer sound heavenly

Sue - I'm thrilled that your DH is annoyed with his mom.

AGREED !!

Plus all newbies should see it. For their sake.

[kellbell191]

I also think you could get a passive aggressive email out of this. MIL I am so concerned that if you don't spend quality time with the dog she will not recognize you in the dark Kroger parking lot and know to carry you're huge heavy box!
