Well MIL pissed me off this weekend. Of course. (LONG)

We were able to make it to BIL's house for Christmas with the family. They knew we were going to come, but that it might take awhile since we had to scoop out the driveway and all that. Well we got down there and they had already opened presents. Nice.
When we first walked in, DH's nephew runs up to me and says, "Where's my present?" I ignored him, because I thought it was rude, and I figured SIL would say something to him about it. Didn't happen. Well for the next hour and a half, nephew kept bugging me about his present, and I finally told him that if he kept asking me for it, he wasn't going to get it at all. Grrr...
Well we opened gifts. We gave MIL the book I made from Shutterfly of Teagan and Kelsey's first year together, and she just flipped through it and set it aside. No thank you, no wow that was nice, nothing. I spent so much time on that, and we didn't get a thanks. I made sure Teagan said thank you for all of her gifts.
I held Caitlin for a little while, and MIL hovered around me. Um, hello, I have two children, so quit freaking out like I am going to drop her or something. She kept making comments like, "Oh she can't see her grandma anymore!" STFU lady and go sit down.
BIL proposed to his gf. With a ring that MIL bought. Oh and the gifts him and his gf bought the kids was paid for by MIL. I laughed when I heard that the next day. MIL biitches about not having money and always says she isn't going to help BIL out anymore, but yet she keeps on doing it. Oh, and you know, DH and I are the bad ones...even though we ask her for nothing and don't borrow money. Whatever.
DH and I mentioned that we were going to Chicago for the Duke game and MIL immediately asked, "Oh did Jamie's dad get that for you guys?" DH flat out told her no, that we have the money that we can do things like this once in awhile. Sorry MIL. DH and I have jobs, we pay our own bills. We aren't like your other two children who are constantly borrowing money from people or skipping bills and almost being evicted.
Ugh. I am so tired of my MIL. I am not going down there, I won't call, nothing. If she wants to see the girls, she can call me. Everytime we make plans to come down there, she changes them at the last minute and goes to SIL's house. I'm done.
On a good note though, SIL made me the coolest fleece tie blanket ever. One side is the Good Witch and the other side is the Wicked Witch of the West. LOVE IT.

sorry your mil sucks
I love your new siggy pics though!
my angel babies: 6/10 (chem. pg), 9/10 @ 10 weeks
Sorry you had a rough christmas. My MIL is a PITA about pictures too. She harasses me about sending her some on the phone and the hard copies. Once she gets them, she criticizes the quality of the camera phone pics and never acknowledges that she ever recieved the hard copies or comments on them. I'm getting pretty darn tired of this.
Oh, and my mom bought step-brother's e-ring with the condition he would pay her back. It's been several years and she hasn't received a dime from him. Plus, they've bought him, his wife and son a ton of presents. They didn't even get a christmas card from them this year.
So I can totally relate. Family sucks sometimes.
Thanks!!
LMAO @ you!! Why shouldn't they wait for us?? We got 20+ inches of snow and they said they would wait for us, and to drive safely. So we did...and yet we got there and missed out on them opening their gifts. They tell us one thing, so another. As for the nephew being all excited about gifts, he is a total fvcking brat and throws fits about stuff all the time. This was no exception. Teagan was excited too, but you know what? She fvcking waited.
About the book, I guarantee if it was a book all about Caitlin, she would have been all over it. Trust me, my MIL is like this. A complete biitch.
ETA: We also gave her two other gifts, one being one that she had been wanting for a long time, and she didn't say thank you for that either.
And no, my DH is not an ass for saying that. MIL constantly thinks my dad gets us stuff all the time, when he doesn't, and it is just her way of trying to throw a dig in at us. If BIL got off his ass and got a job, or his FI got a job, maybe they could afford shiit. And SIL blows money like she has it. She owes MIL's bf $1000 from a YEAR AGO and hasn't paid one dime back, and hasn't tried. She got $6000 back last year for her tax return and instead of giving the $1000 back that she owes, she went and blew it on alcohol, shoes, and clothes. I'm sorry, but they could do things that we do, and buy things that we do if they got their heads out of their asses.
