MIL vent (LONG)

I NEED to get this out.

A few months ago, MIL was babysitting DD. I knew that DD's great grandparents had just moved back into town, and I told MIL REPEATEDLY that DH and I want to be there when Great grandma meets DD (her middle name is Great grandma's name). It was so important to me that I was there. So MIL doesn't listen to me, and the great grandparents came over and meet DD without either my DH or I present. MIL kept this info from me. I was so p!ssed and hurt when i found out that I called MIL and called her out. She never apologized, so I got pretty nasty. Whatever. I was SUPER angry. I never confront people or swear at people, but this meeting was extremely important to me, and MIL disregarded my feelings completely. I had to tell her how I felt, even if it wasn't the nicest.

So this was in February. Yesterday, my DH, DD and I moved in to my parents house. I have not seen MIL since this happened. She has seen DD once, about two months ago. We had spoken a few times since the fight, and both times were civil. Once I even asked if she would help babysit DD if I decided to get a part time job. She excitedly said yes. So I thought things were ok between us.

So the inlaws get to my house about 3pm, literally right as DD is falling asleep in her swing for a nap. I saw that they were here, so I even ran into the family room to see if DD was awake. She had just closed her eyes. So MIL and her sister run into the family room. I say "Oh, she just fell asleep." MIL STICKS HER FACE right into DD's face and yells, "HI CHARDEN!" I say again, "Umm, can you please not wake her? She really needs a nap and she just fell asleep." MIL replies with "I haven't seen her in TWO MONTHS" and storms out of the house. For the next half an hour, as every one in my family is moving our crap into the house, MIL is flapping her jaw to everyone about how "mean" I am being.

Finally, she goes up to DH (I had already filled him in with the fact that she wanted to see DD right as she had started her nap) and she says to my husband, "Stephanie won't let me see the baby. I don't see any reason to stay."

DH FLIPS out on her (he likes to let things bottle up inside) and says, "Fine. Fvcking go then."

 MIL replies with "The baby was AWAKE."

DH says: "If you have a fvcking problem with the way we handle our daughter just fvcking leave."

MIL says" "I don't have a problem with the way you handle your daughter. I have a problem with the way that b!tch handles me!"

That was it. DH lost it. He got up in her face and just screamed at her. He punched their car and left a huge dent. His aunt freaked out and yelled "Stephanie was being mean!" They all left in a hurry.

Totally and utterly ridiculous. APPARENTLY I am a MEAN B!TCH because I wanted my daughter to take a nap DURING her normal nap time. I can't believe how immature a grown adult can be.

Thanks for reading if you made it this far. I feel much better now.

Apparently calling a man's wife a b!tch will result in a giant, fist-shaped dent in the back of your mini van.

I was really proud of him for finally getting it all out and defending me. I think I'll keep him around.
