In-law venting thread

[atrianglepi]

My in-laws are CRAZY. My husband wants me to write a book on some of their comments, criticisms, etc. there are too many to list, but some of my favorites:When we were dating back in college, I was telling a story about a horrible car accident that my sister and I were in during High School. Future FIL says to me, " too bad you didn't die because then you would have never met son's name.


When my mother was dying of cancer, we had planned to spend Thanksgiving with her and my dad. My MIL said " I wish your mother would hurry up and die, so you can come here." My mother died in October, We spent the Holiday with my grieving Father.


All time best comment, I have fraternal twins. My son was born with red hair, his twin sister had no hair. One of my BILs is a redhead, MIL decided that since twin daughter did not look like her brother, she must have a different father. While biologically possible, it was not the case and my husband is indeed the father of both twins. She has made a point at every holiday giving twin daughter an "inferior" gift for all holidays because she still believes she is not her biological granddaughter. The twins are 19 and she is still holding on to her belief. Cuckoo! ETA : Twin daughter has lovely Auburn hair now.

What the...? There are no words to respond to this craziness.

I'm going to visit the MIL this weekend and wish I could get out of it. I'm hoping this visit will be better than the others, but am not counting on it. However, compared to all the stories here, I have nothing to complain about.
