Dearest MIL,
It does NOT endear you to anyone when you say to my partner, who is working harder than you could even imagine to not be underemployed, that "We found the perfect apartment, and we're happy to subsidize the difference between this price and the actual price you can afford until you decide you'd like to earn more money."
Especially if this is after you've called me to say you found a fabulous place that's in our price range, etc etc etc, and then casually mention as you're signing off after the third conversation that "oh yeah they don't allow pets and it already has an application in on it but we're sure this is perfect even though it doesn't really have what you said you needed."
(*@(%&49628)#$*^#&^(@$#*)$@&^(#^*#@)$!(#)&$#*^&#$*@*$(^&#@)@#%@(#&^*#^($@*^@$ you.

Re: Dearest MIL,
And apt hunting in that area is a huge PITA.

My ILs showed up at my house at 8:00 this morning while I was still in bed. Apparently DH knew they were coming but "forgot" to tell me.
#1... they flat out refuse to call DS anything other than Sam and tell other people that "his name is not Sam it's Samuel." Yes, it is. But I pushed him out of my vagina I will call him what I want. I don't mind people calling him Samuel, but since they make such a big deal of it my skin crawls when I hear them say his name. I know. It's petty.
Then they got on a rant about how Obama was going to give every illegal immigrant citizenship so that they would vote for him and he would get reelected. And how he was "socializing wall street."
I was nursing DS in the other room (they won't be in the same room when he eats, but to each his own) so I didn't catch that explanation.
I packed Sam up and headed out to run errands and left DH there with them.
I had a huge fight with MIL over nursing. Our closing was late on our house so DH closed while we were in the hospital. He was still moving us in when we came home from the hospital. Only the living room stuff was in. I started to nurse DS and MIL flipped out. I was so stressed and ended up nursing on the toilet in the bathroom since it was the only place to sit.
After that I said its my house if you don't like it leave. I refuse to nurse in a bathroom adn I refuse to cover Tristan's head.
I used to worry about making them uncomfortable. But now I guess I'm just so used to nursing anywhere and everywhere I will whip out my boob without thinking twice.
::yawn:: I'm going to bed!
This completely warrants a swift throat punch.
I suppose there's no way to accidentally not be home if YH already let them in, is there?
I just don't get people.

Don't worry about it, SoMdGirl! Half the reason I love you women is because I know I can say I'm feeling and hear that I'm not alone!
And Glad, I do believe the waters of idiocy run freely, perhaps especially through that area, and are potable even when nothing else in the world is clean enough to drink. I wonder if the native amphibians have been imbued with the "wait, huh, what'd I say?" mutation yet?

Amphibiangate '10. The sequel to Fishgate '09, with a new cast of characters.
Loveit. Complete with beady little eyes that are somehow not quite adorable in their perpetually confused state...
Okay, I officially need to go to sleep now.
