In-law venting thread

[WCsweet<3]

So maybe for me it's not the mother-in-law (however, she did sit me down and tell me in detail about all four of her conceptions, pregnancies and births while I was at her house, alone, in a town I didn't know... still have nightmares) it's the siblings. Somehow, I don't know how, the boyfriend is very different than his family. He is the protector and, more or less, doormat. No sister, you cannot be flown out to visit your friend on boyfriend's tab because while you are still living at home with no prospect of graduating college or moving out in the next couple of years, the boyfriend is currently renting and trying to get himself out of debt cause by you and your family (as well as stupid choices from the boyfriend). Also, brother when you buy a car off of someone, that means you make payments. Yes, that does include family members. I swear with four people living in a house, with three of them working, one would think that they wouldn't have to call on the son/brother who is trying to make it on his own for money.

One more thing to the sister, you know I don't agree with you so as you sit there talking about how you like to share your opinions because you like to make people uncomfortable, think of it this way, are we uncomfortable because of your opinions or because you sound like an idiot who can't figure out which is her right hand and which is her left. Not that differing opinions is bad, she just has really shaky foundations for them. Also she can't seem to walk 100 feet to a car so she makes the boyfriend drive to pick her up from the front of the store and house.

One more thing, while I would love for his parents to visit him/us, one would think they would check with us first before they began to make plans. As it is, that is my finals week and the boyfriend's busiest time at work throughout the entire year.

That felt good. I have a feeling there will be more later...

I hear ya there....my MIL is showing up the weekend right after work restarts, which also happens to be recruitment weekend at my university - which I wanted to go help with for at least one day. Now could I escape to go do recruitment stuff, sure....but then she says negative things about me, my house, etc... to my husband and anyone else she visits while in town. It's just peachy.

Just because airline tickets are cheap doesn't mean we want you here for yet another visit or have the time for you. I swear I've seen her more since she moved out of state then when she lived 10 minutes away. She comes for at least 4-5 days at a time 6 or more times per year.

Two years ago when we bought our house, we closed escrow on July 20th. Moved in on the 22nd, and she was here by the 27th. She said she would be happy to help me unpack...I had it all done by the 24th so I could put the stuff where I wanted it.

Ok, I think I feel better now...off to do some chores around the house. :P
