Dianne, thanks! I never thought I would see the day! It has been about three years and a couple of months that I have been here.

You are soooo lucky you like yours. I have to say I truly envy those gals who have a good mother in law. It is a blessing and you will always be lucky to have a good rapport. Treasure it. Mine is like the bane of my life. She is my cross to bear in life. I hope I learn to be a good mother in law from her, so there is a point to the madness. I wish I liked mine, and I wanted to but it was not up to me.

Linda, in a nutshell? Jewish guilt. He really enjoys her no more than I do, but it is his MOM. He thinks he SHOULD do these things and so he does. He tends to be fairly generous in the gift department around the time of her visits though, which is nice.

Truly, she SUCKS. And he knows it. She came on a small boat with us this morning, just a little motor boat in the bay so my youngest could fish with dad like his big brothers did. She hates sun, dreads a drop of water touching her but INSISTS she loves boats and being on the water and must come. My middle son and I joined but I told hubby to motor us around for a bit to look at the bay and then return us to my car. That way my youngest felt we were there for a bit but then he got daddy time which is very rare and special. My mother in law sat there freaking because she got the tiniest splash on her. She wore a cap, full clothes though it is gorgeous out, and tied her hood on top of her cap and sat there HOLDING the string. We were putt putting along. She was a nightmare. I then got stuck with her when we got off the boat. FUN!

Oy.

Sorry you got stuck with such a nightmare of a MIL!

But congrats on 10,000. Almost there!!!

I am sorry DF! Lucky for me my IL''s are the menschy, salt of the earth type. I lucked out in that dept.

From your previous posts it sounds like the rest of your family is lovely...
(and your jewels are TDF!)

Don''t let her spoil your celebration!
Again, congrats on your milestone

 

[diamondfan]

ILC, I have mostly a great family. I am not close to my real sister at all, and my mother in law is super heinous.

Otherwise I am very blessed!

I have a great hubby, beautiful kids and a lot of wonderful blessings in my world. She is the rain that falls.

I happen to think people are put in our sphere for a reason, I think her reason is to teach me what NOT to do to my future daughter in laws!!!!

 

[Miranda]

WooooHooooo! 10,000 posts! Now more than that! You are so devoted to your family. They are lucky to have you...We are lucky to have you!

I''m so sorry you have to deal with your dreadful MIL. She makes mine look like a saint! Ewwww...the passing gas is terrible. Do you ever tell her to go to the bathroom?! Bleck! It reminds me of the Spot the dog joke?

 

[diamondfan]

Thanks Miranda!

Thankfully the gas was Linda''s mom!!! But mine does equally odd if less odorous things!

 

[FrekeChild]

Yay DF!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats!!!!!
