luluc 6 Posted December 22, 2008 My in-law confession, I'm not buying them a damn thing! I never get a present. I never get a card. I never get my name on the card. very familiar. my inlaws are just misguided fools. they like to think that DH should spend all his money on them. HAHAHA, i giggle just writing that crap - what they still fail to acknowledge was that it's our money. and for 7/10 yrs together i tripled his salary. i get asked when i'm going back to work, and i'm like - i'm retired. they sure do like "our" money - me not so much...

*slim* 2 Posted December 22, 2008 That's what is funny about ours. I am the money maker, yet she calls him thinking he can pay her bills. Hell, he can't pay HIS bills. She calls him asking for money all of the time (on his cell phone since she won't call my house). MILs can really suck sometimes. I know that there are good ones out there (my mom is one), but man did I pick a WINNER! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

luluc 6 Posted December 22, 2008 Hmm my inlaw confession... I LOVE THEM ALL! They are the best inlaws anyone could ever have I wouldn't trade them for the world. my husband is very embarrassed by his parents, considering my family LOVES DH and treats him just like he's been with us forever. i'm the only girl in my family - and my brothers and DH are best friends; my mother calls hubby more than me. i long gave up hoping they would like me - all i ask it they just be decent. i treat their son like gold and for that i deserve a medal....or at least a parade!!:smile: oh and use the retired line LJM - the look is &*()_^&*( priceless from their end!!!!

Donna113 2 Posted December 22, 2008 My in-law confession, I'm not buying them a damn thing! I never get a present. I never get a card. I never get my name on the card. My MIL likes to call my DH over to her house and he comes home with a present, but me and my son don't exist. She ships tons of stuff to my step-daughter, but we can't even get a merry christmas phone call. I always bought her something anyway. This year? Screw her. DH NEVER buys her anything, but I always do so she will be shocked when she doesn't get anything. Oh well. If I don't exist, her damn present won't either. ha! LOL - I love that last sentence. Even if she doesn't like you, she's a witch for ignoring her own grandson! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Donna113 2 Posted December 22, 2008 (edited) Hmm my inlaw confession... I LOVE THEM ALL! They are the best inlaws anyone could ever have :smile: I wouldn't trade them for the world. I feel the same way with the exception of ONE of my brother-in-laws who's a total ass. My family on the other hand make rotten in-laws. My mother was crazy even before she got Alzheimer's, my 2nd sis is a ditzy space cadet that leaves you shaking your head and my brother's a compulsive gambler so he's always trying to borrow money. My oldest sis is the only one that's any fun to be around. Edited December 22, 2008 by Donna113 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tapshoes 2 Posted December 22, 2008 I gotta confess...I do not understand all your family dramas. DH's parents are dead; DH loves my mother - he's more inclined to ask her to stay for weeks at a time than I am. DH and his ex-wife and his ex-MIL are all the assorted other ex-relations are all friends. In fact, over the holidays, DH's ex-MIL is having her 90th birthday, and everyone including DH and I are invited! I only weigh once a week - at the Y. Still refuse to own a set of scales....

Gracey 7 Posted December 23, 2008 yeah... DH's b-day was yesterday... his parents did ask about me ... oh i'm so lucky... what did they ask? how much weight i had gained on the pregnancy... this coming from the same people who - on our first lunch together - asked me how much i weighed... nice folks. :smile: OK who in the world asks someone else what they weigh? I would never ever ever!!! (well maybe my skinny ass brother!) My in-law confession, I'm not buying them a damn thing! I never get a present. I never get a card. I never get my name on the card. My MIL likes to call my DH over to her house and he comes home with a present, but me and my son don't exist.

She will get hers in the end. With all of these stories plus my brother's ex-inlaws, et al, maybe being single isn't all that bad! My family gets along really well and I don't have to deal with inlaw drama! But yes, Slim, I do believe that your MIL will get bitten by the karma bug!
