Just got home a little while ago from in laws for dinner
UUUUURRRRGHHHHHH
I would have benn better off staying home & starving
I was so mad we had to leave early
BIL is recently married in July (shotgun wedding w/no love involved)
DH asks parents if they are coming to VA w/us for T'giving
This has been the plan all along - my parents live in VA & always invite my inlaws when we go for the holidays.
My FIL has indicated this year that they were planning on going with us again
So when DH asks if they are going FIL says they are thinking about it - MIL makes a face. FIL indicates there is no reason why they wouldn't be going & MIL says well we need to divide our time equally between families & points at my new SIL
and says well if we go away this year we are having T'giving with J & K next year
She smiles a wicked smile & SIL does the same (the smile of having talked about this prior to this moment)
This is the same SIL & BIL who have not paid me for things we sold them from our old house $150 was the agreed upon price
We will never see the money. SIL who said she doesn't have money to buy anyone christmas presents for anyone in our family but just blew $800 on two lazy boy chairs for herself and $650 for a dining room table. Same SIL & BIL who have yet to step foot in my new house (we closed in august) & live 2.5 miles from their home.

Then MIL (who really is on my nerves at this point) announces she will not be cooking christmas dinner either. She has done it for the last several years & its someone else's turn. EXCUSE ME!
Christmas dinner has been at her house but everyone cooks and cleans. She did this for the last several years because her sister and her family came every year, but this year sister's family does not want to come. So you guessed it MIL will not cook or have it at her house.

I was fuming & had to walk away from the table. We left 10-15 minutes later. She is very biased to her sisters and brothers and their families. I really get the impression lately that she doesn't want to be around us. If it wasn't for my FIL I wouldn't even go over on Sundays. She is truly unpleasant sometimes.

Inlaws are spending $2500 for carpent on wicked SIL & BIL. Not to sound petty but inlaws bought us $30 ornament for our house warming gift. Not that they had to buy us anything but they didn't want us to move.

UUUURRRGH
I probably sound really petty right now. But I came home in tears with my feelings geniunely hurt. I am no ones second best if you like your other DIL better than feel free to spend all your time with her. I told DH I will cook christmas dinner for DH, myself, DD, and my parents and that his parents can go eat at his brothers.

I really feel like SIL & BIL are trying to divide the family us against them. DH says they are jealous and to just forget about it. But it is so hard.

Just venting were I know I'm loved
 
(((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))))to you....I know how insensitive the in laws can be ...and no you're not being petty....They just like to manipulate to make you feel bad...It makes them feel better

Take care

This may be the best Christmas dinner you have had in years!!!
 

Thanks that brought a smile to my face
It just gets you down sometimes
 
((((Hugs)))). Sorry your MIL is hurtful. I agree, time to start your own family traditions! May be the best holiday yet!!
 
I'm sorry :( It sure would be nice if we could choose our family.

Believe me YOU do not sound petty. I have been there/ done that/ never ever will I go thru with it again. I have the ULTIMATE EVIL VILE MIL and her MOTher is just as EVIL. I tried to be nice in the beginning and no matter what they always pulled stunts. It got to the point where I told dh's MOM AND NANA TO GO STRAIGHT TO HELL!!! I banned their butts from my home about 2.5 years ago and believe me when I say it is peaceful. My dh knows I will never go back that route with his people again:rolleyes: I can't stand his dh's sister either, because she is the mirror image of her mom and nana. His parents bought stoves, ranges, carpet, furniture ect... for dh's sister and her spineless husband. They knew they could not offer me a toothpick. When she did send something in the mail, I SENT IT RIGHT BACK TO HER!! Dh know I WANT NO PART OF THAT CREATURE NOR HER MOTHER. Sometimes you can look over CRAP, but then it come to a point where you are just fed up.

BTW, I think it's great you are cooking dinner for YOUR family. No matter what stay strong and stand your ground. Your new sil might think she is getting away with something, but in the long run it will all backfire in her face.
