Ok, so at the risk of sounding judgey.. Here we go.
Backstory:My MIL and I have never gotten along. She always tells me the most random things (about my DH's exs, her lovelife, how she hates my FIL..etc) and since I could care less about all of these things she talks about we have never bonded. THEN when I had DD she came over when DD was 3 days old with a fever of 103!! luckily DH stopped her at the door.. Plus she is always causing unnecessary drama.
Ok, so now the most recent issue.
MIL met a guy of a dating website the day after Thanksgiving. That following Wednesday they got "engaged". Now they are planning a wedding for CHRISTMAS EVE of this year.. they have only see each other in person 3 times. She knows nothing about the man. But what she does know is not very favorable as far as DH and BIL are concerned.
Now she calls me and tells me that she is having a bridal shower (this is her 4th marriage), she wants to invite all of the guests from the ceremony back to my house afterwards (not going to happen) and she is insisting the my DD who is 5 call this strange man Grandpa.
She has lost her mind. OH and she wants ME to plan the wedding, and pay for all these special things she wants.
I dont even know what to say to her. DH and I are not going to pay for her to get married, plus we have Christmas and our 2 daughters and SD16 have birthdays in Jan. We are so tight on money and she seems to be annoyed we are not willing to help. She did nothing when DH and I got married. I want to scream right now.
thanks for listening!
Re: MIL vent.
oh my gosh she is INSANE. you have no idea! lol
she is inviting my BIL's ex girlfriend to the wedding.. too bad BIL has a new girlfriend that is ALSO invited.
oh something even more random.. my SS is 17 and MIL told me that he has a girlfriend.. I said oh thats nice, and she said "no its not, I am going to cut off his peen".
true story.
LOL
Just ignore it... if she asks about anything, just say you assumed she was high at the time, that's really the only logical explanation.
funny you mention that.. she HAS asked me before I any of my friends smoke.. lol
DH was pissed when he found out that she had brought him over to our house when he wasnt here. And that she was so inappropriate. We have already told her we will NOT be paying, and my DH told her not to bring him to our house again. He told her if you chose to be with him thats fine but do not push him on my family. (YAY DH!)
RIGHT!?! lol. She is beyond crazy. She is also plastering all over FB that she is engaged and how happy she is. All of her family and friends are seriously so confused! All of us are we suprised, oh thats right because she hasnt been dating that long to be getting married!
She said her reason for asking me to plan it was so she could "enjoy" this time of being engaged. WOW. you have been married FOUR times lady. Get a clue.
HA HA HA! Well put. And ditto everything ffejs said. At least your H is putting his foot down with her. How psycho would it be if he were telling you to indulge this?
