Dear MIL...

OrangeSmoke

I adore you, I really do.  You are more like a mom to me than my own mom.  I love how you pick up the boys 3x a week and they get eat dinner at grandmas.

But I'm still their mom, so when I say no juice.  I mean, no juice.  Don't show me the juice that says no sugar ADDED and tell me it's healthy.  Just because your other grandkids eat ice cream for dinner doesn't mean Harry and Alex are allowed to.

Love

Your very grateful DIL.

(OK bumpies, your turn!)

My MIL just watched my twins for 5 days so DH and I could go to Vegas, and she followed all my instructions.  So I can't play : )

Dear MIL,

I love you, too.  And I miss you, too.  But if you continue to cry about how much you miss us every time you call?  I will stop answering the phone.

Signed,

Your already homesick DIL.

Talk to me on Sunday. We are leaving them with mil for the weekend. She's been known to do some crazy sh!t. Last time she watched them she didn't put them to bed until 11 pm! She said they weren't tired. Their normal bedtime is 6:30. They were all screwed up for a week. She means well I guess. She also gave them an ice cream cone to eat and they weren't in a high chair. The mess!

Dear my NOT MIL who likes to things she is (yes talking about FIL's gf)

 

No you can not take Preston for 3 days. No it is not okay for you to take him to your sisters house 3 hours away for a sleep over. Why don't you understand I don't want him in the car with FIL who is legally blind in one eye and you have sh!tty arse driving record.

My kids have names, please stop calling them little morsels. It is really annoying. Jordana's name is JORDANA not Jordan. If you like that name so much have your own damn kid and name him or her that.

Did you forget there is a 3rd child? You know Brady? That sweet little boy who is always running up to you but you ignore him? How could you not love that little smile?

AND finally you are not their grandmother and never will be so stop demanding they call you grandma. They have two grandmothers already!

 

Thanks,

 

The one you call the b!tch

THis! We are going to Boston for a wedding my BFF from highschool. My MIL is watching Jake that night for us. But she is coo coo and so is one of my SIL's for that matter. I don't think that she will do anything crazy but they are all justs nuts. I KNOW you miss your grandson but buying highchairs, pnp, toys is not nessary for a 1 day visit!

And then my SIL called me today at 4pm WORST time of day.. (I also had the dog sitter over to over the instructions for the dogs while we are gone) and she wanted to ask me a stupid question about her NEW iphone...like really..I don't have time for this..call your sister who probalby knows WAYY more then me..Ugh..HELP ME!

Dear MIL,

I love that you want to buy things for my children.  When you asked what they needed, and I told you diapers and very specifically gave you the brands and sizes, I thought that would suffice.

When you showed up with ugly clothes for Caroline, a picture book of Elvis for me, and a stack of bath towels...well, I remain a little confused.

Diapers?  Remember those?  Yes...that's what would come in handy.

Can I play with my nanny?  I think my mother / MIL are scared enough of me they would never try that but my nanny....nope, she did the EXACT same thing.  I said "no juice" so she bought what she considered an acceptable, no sugar juice (and she is a health food freak so I know she thought her standards were higher than mine....except in this arena, I guess).  I just said "nope" and it stayed in our basement storage for 1.5 years until we moved.

 

ETA: I didn't write a letter...that's entirely too creative for my tired a**

Dear MIL,

Dear MIL, 

Remember the nasty things you said to me last week, well those will be the last things you will say to me. Remember how you said we "never let you see the kids" well, you will now see just how true that is.

Signed,

Your newly cut off DIL....
