My In-laws are worse than your In-laws!

You can try and bribe the tag fairy with chocolate! I got 2 of my tags on a tag fairy thread with bribes chocolate I think I offered her/him a chocolate fairy house and some chocolate lingerie....

There's a tag fairy thread??? Tag fairies... it's like the ultimate game of tag... with fairies...

Woah I just read chocolate lingerie, it sounds tasty but not something you wanna read when drinking anything.

Edited to say: Thankfully my computer is in great condition. I had enough decency to turn my head and spew root beer all over my sister next to me.

I'm fresh out of MIL stories since she hasn't called DH in almost 2 weeks...2 blissful weeks. She is either pouting in her hovel of a house because DH told her WHY nobody likes her and WHY we are no longer speaking to her, or she thinks she is somehow punishing us by not calling.

Oh wait...she DID mention that she is addicted to Ambien. That's crazy right?

- We had a really small wedding. She volunteered (forcefully) to do the flowers. I said repeatedly that I would be fine doing it but she insisted (we would still pay for the flowers and vases though). She asked what I wanted and I was very clear that I wanted something simple but other than that I would leave it up to her. She constantly had samples at her house and I'd tell her everytime "That's great - do that." Then I'd come over again and there'd be something else and I'd say "That's great - do that" or "I really liked the other ones you had last week but if this is easier than do this. I'll be happy with anything you pick." Well the day before the wedding she tells my mother that I still had not helped her with the flowers and we had to go pick some out. So all three of us had to go look at flowers, in the middle of all the other wedding craziness,and again I said I'd be fine with whatever. I pointed out some flowers I liked but in the end she still brought flowers completely different than what I picked!

- She volunteered (forcefully) to do the rehearsal dinner. Since our wedding party was small and over labor day I said I just would do a BBQ. She insisted she make the food. I said multiple times it wasn't neccessary but she kept saying she wanted to...she was an hour late with the food for the rehearsal dinner.

I'm sorry, are you sure we don't share a MIL? I wouldn't rule out her living a double life somewhere to see how many DIL she can collect and make miserable.

Um.. PS.. It seems that I have pleased the tag fairy. YES!

Okay, I will let you pass, but if she doesn't call soon or completely wig out then you need to make something up.

LOL And it only took me 6 years!

I don't think I have the self control you do that's really flippin' creepy!!!


In other news:
Dear DMIL2B:
I know you lurk on the almighty Dis and I beg of you here and now, please don't be all up in my undies when I marry your son. (Unless it's to stash the new set of Victoria's Secret you got me).

Sincerly,
Your DDIL2B

I know my DMIL2B are awesome. (Both of them).

If I let her get to me, she wins. So even while I get very irritated, I smile and nod and just try to be pleasant in general. I really do let her win a lot of battles, because I plan on winning the war.

If it helps, my MIL went into my house yesterday and stole some alochol while I was out shopping.

Why does she have a key?

 

[GettingFuzzy]

Why does she have a key?

She doesn't. My DH has a traumatic brain injury from Iraq and has memory issues, he usually double checks, but must have forgot.

 

[TiggerTails57]

I got tagged! thanks tag fairy!

I will send you the mini liquor bottles myself if you can get the giant raccoon trap.. the IL's have an opossum trap lying around somewhere, she isn't really petite, is she?

Incredibly petite.

I would not doubt anything with my MIL!!

I tell my DH what's so scary is that everyone sees how crazy she is except her...but I guess that's normal for crazy people

It's like the Poe song "you can't talk to a psycho like a normal human being..."

I have been reading along here and feeling everybody's pain. I have a few to tell on my IL's ...soon to be ex mainly because my ex always believed that it must be all in my head.

MIL and SIL called me a rhymes with witch one Thanksgiving weekend because I had the audacity to ask my husband to help me please pack up the car. This was after she undermined my parenting when I told my 18 month old daughter to please stop playing with the dog so rough. Heaven forbid I didn't want my daughter to provoke the dog.

God Bless her but about 8 years later she waited until it was just us AND all of the kids in the car to go off on me being an ungrateful wench....that one my ex almost believed me because the kids were the first to tell him what she called me.

My exIl's always played favorites and my ex wasn't ever the favorite because he was the black sheep. My girls knew this and always wondered why those grandparents didn't love them like my mom and stepdad....you got it...my fault (according to ex...how? no clue but it is/was)

They promised my children that they would take all the kids to Disney World...guess who went and who didn't? Yup...all other grandkids AND their parents on their dime but we weren't even invited and then they were put out when I told my husband that he could go meet them at our airport for their layover that they called us about at 7 in the morning, the day of the layover but the girls and I had plans that could not be changed (band practice and something else). Again, somehow this became my fault.

I feel sorry for them...they missed out on 2 of the awsomest kids ever and my poor ex, even though he was right there, missed out on them too.

My daughter's are 19 and 15 now and whomever their partners in life end up being I hope that I always remember to do the opposite of these doofuses (or is the plural of doofus, doofi?)

 

[Hollywoodhaha]

I got tagged! thanks tag fairy!

Perfect!

 

[tlbwriter]

First, let me explain my MIL...she's mean. She's rude. I think she suffers from only child syndrome. She's always negative. She only talks about herself. She never asks about anyone else. She's sarcastic (to be mean). Everything is "woe's me" in her mind. She talks and judges everyone, even people she doesn't know. I used to sit sometimes for hours and listen to her talk about someone's friend who she's never met and how stupid they are.

I don't see any reason to insult only children. The mean, selfish people I know all have siblings.

 

[SallySkelington]

I never realized that posting my reaction to reading the word chocolate lingerie would get me a tag... Should I post my reaction when I SAW it?

I do believe in Tag Fairies, I do! I do! *claps hands*
Thank you Tag Fairy.

That right there sounds totally diabolical.

A voice in my head said: "The Dude abides." Yeah, no more cult classics for me.

This is ultimately the fall-out from all these IL tales-it's their loss and your gain b/c the little peeps are the most important thing and b/c they are miserable, spiteful, hateful beings they have missed it all-what a waste.

 

[GettingFuzzy]

Because it is! If you look up diabolical right now there is a picture of me holding up hair ties and socks with the missing partners over my head in victory! Don't mind the raccoon trap behind me, that's for personal use only.

 

[Jennasis]

Ahh...spoke too soon. MIL called DH today. I KNEW it. I KNEW she couldn't stay away. She invited DH to the grand opening of her stooooopid antique store. Yes, I KNOW she just had a grand opening...but THIS one is GRANDER! See, she apparently was invited to join the Chamber of Commerce (i.e she paid the $200 membership fee and joe-blow can pay when they apply for membership) and they are throwing her another grand opening.

She wants him to come...on Friday...at 11am. So he'd have to take off from work. Let's ignore the fact that he did NOT tell her to never call him at work again like he said he was going to do. Ugh. And yeah...he said he'd go./ So for this one, I'm mad at HIM, not her.

Grrrrrr.
