Just Back And You Will Never Guess What Happened At The Airport!!!-All in 1 Thread!

It's about time that DH showed a little backbone.

I am one of those terrible people your MIL warned you about,, A true Disaholic, with a broadband connection,,LOL

Bumblebee,, The fact that you and your hubby ignore her, and stand up to her, must really irk her big time,,lol. Well Done. I love how you have maintained your sense of humor as well, and don't hold hubby to blame for his mother's obvious problems. My former husband's mother could have been Cruella's sister. I actually had a lapse in judgement one Halloween, and invited her over to enjoy it with us,, she critized everything from our elaborate decorations for the Holiday,, to the costumes that I had HANDMADE for my two girls. I left the house after getting fed up with hearing her moan about one thing after the other, and took the girls out trick or treating with my best friend who lived next door, and her kids. My hubby later caught up with us, and said he kicked his mother out of the house,,lol. I felt a bit bad for her at that point,, but he said not to,, that he'd had enough as well, and told her she could no longer come to the house, since there were so many 'problems' with how we do things. We later divorced, amicabbly, but I will always feel that his mother ruined many of the years we were married. She was something else.

Ironically, my new MIL must be the long lost third sister to Cruella,,,lol.

Please take note mothers of sons (and daughters if it applies),, if you want to get on with them and their wives/girlfriends as adults,, follow the golden rule. Do unto them as you would want your own MIL to do unto you.

These are the craziest reports I have ever seen, and hilarious seeing as I'm not part of them! Glad to see you keep your sense of humor through this comedy of errors!

 

[4greatboys]

WTH?? I have never heard of someone just showing up at the airport to go on vacation with othes when not even invited???

 

[Teris]

LOL,, it really is like a bad joke or something isn't it? Surely she got the idea from watching some bad movie or tv show? Cruella, I mean.

 

[DisneyChristmas]

I don't think this is the "magical gathering" that Mickey has in mind. I've read though post #5. Is there more? What happened next?

 

[DisneyChristmas]

Though I feel so sorry you, this really is compelling reading!!! What happened next?

 

[goofyforlife]

I'm at work literally tearing up....

Keep the reports coming...

(P.S. I would have left her at the airport myself.)

I think the cast member on the monorail must've seen the kind of torture that Cruella was putting you guys through. The reason why I say that is the front of the monorail holds FOUR passengers plus the driver. So, Cruella should've been on that monorail. I assume the castmember saw that you needed at least 5 minutes away from that evil, evil woman.

No! We aren't sick of these reports at all. Keep 'em coming!

 

[mrsbornkuntry]

I'm so sorry you had to deal with Cruella on your magical vacation! I will say that after reading your report I appreciate my MIL so much more!

 

[crcormier]

What primordial ooze did this woman crawl out of? Another non-serial killer here! Can't believe what you have to put up with, but darned if it isn't entertaining to the rest of us!

 

[MI mom of 3]

I am loving these reports, thank heavens my ILs just ignore my kids but are not cruel.

I have to ask tho, why didn't you tell her she was not welcome to accompany you to the parks, dinner, etc.? Why did you let her tag along?

 

[BigTigg'r]

Another NOT AN AXE MURDERER, although I did play one once......I cannot believe the nerve of this woman. I am glad that your DH said something. I hope that she did not completely ruin your trip. Your DD sounds like a real gem!

 

[JCTigger]

some people just have no faith in humanity and think that all people are out to get them just hearing about stuff like that makes me laugh because they are so paranoid ive never met a bad person online but at least seeing people like that help me know that i am not as insane as i once thought i was :

 

[pomcoach]

Well, I have a nay-sayer too. My 16 yr. old daughter who is a mouthy teen-ager always gets on my back whenever I spout all the Disney Wisdom I've learned from all of my fellow disers on this board. Example: I say, "Dad and I got a Fleece jacket to keep warm on our Disney Trip this December. Here's a nice one. Do you want to try this one on? They said that's fleece is the way to go for a winter Disney trip because it's lightweight, but still keeps you warm." My daughter just attacks me, "They. They. Who is they? Those PEOPLE on the internet. I am not doing anything they say. They don't know anything. They're just people on the internet. Why do you trust them so much? I am not wearing a Fleece jacket. Stop telling me what They say!"
And on and on it goes. Everytime I'd try to tell her a tip I learned, like short cuts around Toon Town or tips about the wait in line, she would automatically go on Attack Mode. Sadly my husband rarely stands up for me, so you are very lucky!
Still though, I had a wonderful time on our Dec. 17-27, 2004 trip. And we stayed warm in our Fleece jackets and she nearly froze to death!

BeeBumble, you have really given us a lot of laughter here on the boards. Sorry it was at your own expense.

I had a MIL not to be believed who passed away almost 16 years ago. She made our courtship and the first 6 years of our married life very hard (not to mention my DH's childhood - although he came out as wonderful!). I came from a family that was very loving and supportive and I was always so shocked at some of the mean things she would say. My husband always said that she was truly 'neurotic' in a doctor's diagnostic way, not just in an off the cuff remark kind of way.

Here is the most cruel remark that anyone can say about another person when they have passed:"Our lives are so much easier now that she is gone." But is has been so true of my MIL. I vowed then and there to live my life in such a way as to never make the same mistakes she made and I pray that I am doing a good job.

We try to remember the good things about her, but there is always that nagging truth behind the laughter that not even her own children or DH can ignore.

I know that BeeBumble really undergoes a lot of stress because of this person. How can she not? It also sounds like she's raising her own DD to make the best of a bad situation. Children know what's what, don't they? I bet her other grandmother thinks she's a real Disney Princess.

Thanks for the blow by blow. Of course we'd love to hear more. Just make sure you take your valium before you begin posting so you won't get your blood pressure too high.

Love to you, BeeBumble. All the best for a great New Year. And are you planning another WDW vacation anytime soon? I sure would be. What better 'excuse' could you have, right?

 

[declansdad]

I can't imagine what this trip would have been like. I am happy to read that your dh stands up to her and I laugh every time I read that a cm helps you out with her.

Keep posting!!
