Inlaw Rant - All rants welcome

Please feel free to vent away about your inlaws in this post. I find it therapeutic to get out some anger once in a while so I'm giving you the opportunity to do so as well.
I would like to vent about my SIL. Surprise surprise. She stopped in to work today to drop off some envelopes for me and she then spent the rest of my lunch break with me. All 45 minutes of it. She was wearing a super obnoxious maternity shirt that had the definition of "Baby Bump" on it with super cutesy things. And of course it was framing her nice little baby bump. Good thing she brought my nephew to distract me. I just hate that she's pg again and will have 2u2 before I have even one. Or even be pregnant.

Re: Inlaw Rant - All rants welcome
WTF is wrong with her???
Unwelcomed lunch break visitors are the worst! Sometimes you just need that time to de-stress and relax and it's very hard to do when you have someone talking at you.
Since you invited the rant, my MIL is exactly like Monk (for those of you who don't watch that show, he is an obsessive complusive person when it comes to cleaning). Every time she visits, she always makes comments to DH about how I don't clean good enough at our house....although she never mentions how DH could get off his butt and help out! Grr....
TTC since April 2010
BFP #1 – March 2011, missed m/c April 2011
BFP #2 – October 2011, m/c November 2011

BFP #5 – October 2012, missed m/c November 2012
BFP #6 – January 2013, m/c March 2013
No longer TTC. Diagnosis: Hostile ute. Heartbroken and bitter. Pursuing surrogacy.
June 2013 - Carrier found! Could this really happen?!
~All AL always welcome~
Yuck!!! I'm sorry
My SIL is pg with #3 (she will have 3u3 before I can even TTC for what I hope will be a rainbow baby)
Fortunately she is completely certifiable as is her mom and so DH and I finally drew the line and cut off all communication with them--it was a whole big drama about 3 weeks ago--won't even go into it. Hasn't stopped SIL from texting me, but at least now I don't have to respond and fake that I give a crap.
** BFP #1 - M/C at 6 weeks 4/13/2012 **

((hugs)) jenn & ncchnat! I can't believe your MIL sends you baby pics. That is so flucking ridiculous.
Here's my rant:
To my pg bff: I don't want to take your weekly bump photo (did I mention I just deleted my DH's second pregnancy photo series?). And I don't want to hear about how you find another November mama to replace me in our planned nanny share. And I don't want to be there when you "announce" your pg to our other friend. And I don't want to hear about how you are so glad you got married when you did (1 year after me) because otherwise "none of this would be happening" (cue beatific smile and belly patting). I know you didn't mean to be hurtful, but this just makes me angry at the universe.

I am all for venting about in-laws. This weekend we visited DH's grandparents and gave them some wedding pictures. His grandma said it's good that we have these pictures so one day we can look back and remember when we were happy and in love...as if one day we won't be happy and in love!
Then we were talking about prenups (because of the Facebook guy getting married after the IPO) and DH's grandfather said DH should have come up with his million dollar idea before we got married so the money he earned wouldn't be marital property. (DH has all kinds of ideas he hope will make us money one day. I'm not hopeful).
((((((HUGS)))))), Jenn, and more ((((((((HUGS))))))) all around. Sounds like we've got some real winners.
I actually can't rant too much, because one of my biggest prayers for the last 7 months was answered: awful SIL did not have her baby on my due date. But, they're all still terrible.

Thanks MIL for posting a not-so-flattering wedding picture of me on our 2 year anniversary on FB. You only had like 1000 good pics to choose from.
I also appreciated at Christmas when you asked your sons to join in for a 'family' picture and excluded your daughter-in-laws. Really made us feel special.
Last, but not least, we are NOT HAVING A HOUSEWARMING PARTY. Get that through your thick head. <insert long story here but I'll spare you all the details, lol>
Oh and dear FIL - remind me not to listen to you when you suggest we buy a fixer upper because you will 'help' us renovate it. Yah, tearing apart my walls, flooring and basement is called demolition. It's the actual putting everything back together again that's called renovation. You seem to have forgotten that part.
DD born 3/23/2013; Baby #2 EDD 9/7/2015
You all sound like you have some real gems... My MIL is a guilt-tripping, irresponsible and lazy woman who loves to take advantage of her sons. She is always trying to get DH to come over and work on her house... that she is renting for dirt-cheap in exchange for doing repair work on it herself. She seriously only calls when she wants DH to come over and do something for her. Never just a "Hi, I miss you guys, how are you doing?" It's always "Hi, you guys want to come over for dinner, tell Bobby to bring his tools, I need X, Y, and Z fixed." *barf*
We have had to help her move twice now, she was in the process of losing one house (because DH and I got together and got a place of our own so he quit making her payments for her) when she somehow bought a second, so we moved her from house A to house B. And then last year she lost house B and found this pile of crap house 35 miles away from us and BIL and his wife. But you know she expects all of us (we live about 5 miles from BIL) to drop everything on the holidays and come to her house, nevermind the fact that we have other family obligations to make it to on the same day. She has so far been unwilling to compromise and if we just don't go because we have other plans she pouts and guilt trips the boys for weeks.
BIL is a mechanic and she's always pulling the same crap on him to get work done on her vehicles.... that she hasn't paid for. Usually he winds up impounding a few cars a year for people that don't pay and he has given her two cars in the 5 years DH and I have known each other.
And my SIL is a mini-MIL, it's a blessing that she lives on the other side of the country! I (unfortunately) added her on facebook about a year ago, can't undo that one without starting a family feud, she is always talking about how upset she is that she can't make rent again, or that her car payment is going to be late, but the next day will be bragging up her new phone or camera, laptop, etc. I am so glad DH missed the bad with money gene!
My Ovulation Chart
I'm sorry everyone has to deal with crapola like this!
My MIL just got back from a trip and sent me a text that said, "So excited to talk you 2...Maybe 3?" Seriously I JUST MC'd and I literally JUST got AF the day before yesterday. I texted her back saying as much! She responded: "Oh, ok."
Also, since my SIL found out I MC'd (we didn't tell anyone we were trying or PG), she has been in a fierce race to get PG... Everything has to be a competition!!
I thought I was crazy to be so irked by this! I'm glad there are other people dealing with this!
