I am going to hunt down my MIL and lay into her.
Seriously. If she didn't live an hour away and it wasn't pouring down snow, we'd be having words. And it wouldn't end pretty.
She is trying to have a birthday party for Tom's grandmother on Thursday (I'll be gone- so I have no part in anything to do with this party, I've never been mentioned or ANYTHING)
She wants to have it at 2:30, an hour and a half from here. Tom works 8 hours a day. He's not willing to take last minute leave for a party that could easily be schedule in the evening so he could attend. He told his mom even if he got up at 4am to walk Rink and got to work he wouldn't get out until 2:30 in the afternoon and it'd still take him 1.5 hours to get there (weather permitting)
So she's PISSED pretty much and says "Just bring the dog with you and we'll chain him up in the backyard."
Tom said "No, mom. I'm not bringing the dog." (Rightly so- Rink doesn't know these people and it's SNOWING. He's a temperature sensitive breed and cannot be left in the snow-- besides, that is just CRUEL! My dad also offered to drive a half hour here to walk Rink that night so Tom could leave after work, so my family is at least TRYING to help out!)
So she goes "Well, why not?" He said "He's tempermental mom, that's not right to do."
She goes
"LIKE YOUR WIFE."
.....
WHO does this woman think she is?? That is clearly uncalled for, as I was not even a part of this conversation!!
And WHAT makes her think that I would ever trust her with my child? If she can say horrible things like that to my husband, who clearly loves me and chose to be with me, why would I trust her not to say stupid crap like that to my KID? Hearing that upsets Tom almost as much as it PISSES ME OFF.
Oh.I.Am.So.Done.With.Her.
SOOO DONE!
