This. Omg of my DH asked me to be in the same room with that woman after the TV tray in the hallway incident he would be singing falsetto for the rest of his life.
Seriously. I think my response would have been "Great, have fun. We'll see you when you get home - all snuggly in our jammies eating our chinese food!", brightly, of course.

I am also consistently confused by your DH's insistence that you are EVER within 100 meters of this nutbag. "Hey mom, remember when you put Sus Sue in the HALLWAY ON THANKSGIVING?! THAT is why we never spoke to you again!" Tra-la-la-laaaaaaaaaa.
What time is his flight tomorrow? We're getting snow today but is should be over around 10 PM tonight, so if his flight is tomorrow he should be fine. They clean up pretty fast around here. And Boston itself is only supposed to get like 4" which is nothing for us.
Also, your MIL is a jerk for delighting in the fact that her grandson might get stuck in the airport due to a snowstorm. What a mean thing to gloat about.
Good Lord. I spent four years in Boston for college, and flew home every Christmas, on time. I never had a cancelled flight. I mean, she knows this isn't new, right? Snow? It happens all the time. I'm sure they'll manage it.
And, I agree with pp. Have Christmas at your house and seat her in the garage.
My husband is dead-set on having a "brunch" at our house on XMas. I'm like, "No". I don't want to run around and deal with a house of guests. All I want to do is drink my coffee in my sweat pants while the kids open presents....maybe by 1-2pm we might wander out of our cave and get some fresh air. I don't want to serve brunch dammit!
dh is adopted. <input id="mac_address" value="" type="hidden">
I know. It's still kind of a shitty thing to say. (Maybe not to you in a post where we wish her death, lol but to others) I seem to be the only one reacting to it though, so maybe I'm misreading or something.
No I'm with you on this.
Even though she's a snatch, it seems insulting to adoptive parents.

@ouiserb, one time when Sue Sue and family went to Thanksgiving at her MIL's house, Sue was given a TV tray and seated with her dinner in the hallway. Alone. Except that her boys, who are awesome, and her H came to sit with her. Her MIL is horrendous.
