Always happy to help - as they say, no matter what the letter, we're all greeks together!! You just let me know when to be by the highway - that woman needs to be taken down!!!!!

MIL HAYLE
 

For now, I'm "friends" with my MIL... I speak to her civilly... But I will NEVER EVA put myself out there EVA again...

Search my past posts about visiting my G-ma for Christmas and the lunacy I endured...

Anyhoo, I am having problems with my own parents losing their minds over my cute little nephew--a first in my immediate family... However, my dumbassed brother who should have not married PERIOD on general principle--married as straight as he could go to this chick that is clueless about my family and they way we are... We got use to her and the fact she married my brother. Then thru his vehement objections, she finds herself pregnant and subsequently has the baby... Cute little guy... And now my brother is acting a fool... A complete fool. There are allegations of him cheating, he is clueless as to how to take care of his son, he dumps the kid off at my folks house whenever (even though my mom wants the baby there, my brother takes waaaay too many liberties) and his wife barely has any family willing to take care of her son... It is a H.A.M.

And my family wants ME to be all up in this mix?

HAYLE... I live too far away... I am not gonna get strip searched to get on a plane for 2.5 hours to be yelled at because I wanna hang out with my friends whom I haven't seen in awhile... It's not my baby!!!

And then, my husband is not coming down... I think he has MIL problems...

I'm in!

Thanks y'all! Just having people validate my feelings means SOOO much to me.

He is the greatest guy. He told her flat out before we left that if she put him in the position of choosing one of us it would be me:). She LOVED that!

I am enjoying the fact that they are no longer speaking. It's the first peace I have gotten in four years.

I think the worst part of the whole vacation was that my MIL is just like her mother. They are JUST alike. So, everything was twice as bad since we were staying with her.

I do like the idea of messing with her. I think we'll just send a few fake forwarded e-mails to her. I'll really have to think, though. She does most of her shopping from "Christian" companies. Perhaps I can dig up something on Walmart for her? ;)

Thanks. Thanks again. I already feel a bit better about the trip.

www.snopes.com should have some good ones. She doesn't sound like the type to verify things. :D
