And now for a MIL vent

SeaSoul · November 2008

I found out after my shower yesterday that MIL was supposed to provide baby photos of DH, which they were going to have on display along with some of mine. I guess over email she seemed totally into the idea and promised to send them via USPS...but did not. So my mom called her the day before the shower and left a message asking if she could just bring them with her and maybe show up a little early so they could put the display together. She did not return the call. Well, as it turns out, not only did she not show up early - she was over 1/2 hour late (last one there), did not bring the photos, and did not even acknowledge it to my mom or my aunt! What's up with that? DH was embarrassed when I told him, but this is very typical of her and he knows if he were to say anything she'd immediately get defensive and make it about something else. Makes me sad.

That would make me sad too.

I know when DH and I were planning our wedding we found out many of his baby photos had been lost over time. His mom didn't want to tell him and it took a lot of conversations to get this out of her. Plus unlike my parents his hadn't taken many to begin with. Maybe have your hubby talk to her about him getting some of his baby photos and seeing what happens is a good idea. I have a feeling given what you have posted about your MIL in the past they would be better off in your guy's hands than hers.
