another famous rant

Hello.

Okay, get ready, get set AND.......

GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



My MIL is such a bitch! Really. You are never going to guess what she is doing now.

So much seems to have happened that I am not entirely sure where to start. So, I will just start somewhere but may have to back track. So, Jonathan called us the other day to tell Chris that my MIL had asked him how much money we owed him! (can u believe that!!!). First of all, we NEVER borrow money from Jonathan unless its an emergency and we pay him back on our next pays and it's never more than like 60.00 and even then that RARELY EVER happens!). Apparently, she thinks we borrow money from Jonathan on a regular basis. This pisses me off. First of all, Dan bought us another vehicle, which is super awsome of him and he didn't have to do for us, but he did out of the kindness of his heart and we are paying him back in equal installments as we have always done. So my MIL was completely against him doing that for us. So, I think she was trying to figure out how much money we possibly have. (you know, b/c 'I only married Chris for his money and because I was pregnant'). {just a quick note for all you newbies who don't know the story: I trump chris in finances and I hadn't even had sex with my husband before we were married, thus there was NO way he only married me b/c I was pregnant}. Plus, she has no idea what I make. She does know what Chris makes though. Stupid bitch.

So, she's fuming about our money because we bought a house that she doesn't think we can afford, and we have a baby that she didn't want us to have in the first place b/c now I am forever connected to Chris. It's really quite sad. She loves Paul only with conditions. Chris really believes that she will use Paul as a pawn to spy on me (b/c she hates me and bc she did it to Chris and his siblings on his father and wanted Chris to lie at court about such things). She only wants to see Paul on her terms. (those being that she can show Paul off to ppl to show what a wonderful grandma she is, and only if we come to her at a time that in convinent for her at her house. If we ask her to babysit HERE for a day, the answer is an automatic NO).

I laugh at the thought of what she's going to do when we have another baby. Because some day we will.

Anyways, the thing is that, even though she's been driving me up the wall for years. Ever since we had Paul she has become 1000 times worse. And its FINALLY bothering Chris. He is the one getting upset about her meddling and about her inability to LISTEN when we tell her something about Paul. (such as that he doesn't like to just go to other people, he needs to get used to u first, but no matter what we say, she just picks him up and doesnt give him back and he screams his little head off in a panic).

Chris has been bitching to Dan a lot lately about her. Which is nice that he can have someone to talk too about it. But I think that she's digging her own grave here. Dan thinks it's menopause. However, I'm not saying it's not, but there's no way that its all that b/c she's been like this forever. I have suggested to Chris that he talk to his mom and give her a chance to smarten up and change, instead of waiting and blowing up and then there being no chance of reconsiliation whatsoever. I don't care for my MIL, and I don't care if I never see her again, but as a human being and a mom, I would want the chance to change. I would want my son to tell me all this stuff I am doing is driving him and his wife crazy and give me a chance to change instead of one day it being too late.

I hope he does tell her. However, it amazes me that he hasn't yet. He's so upset that he really believes that his mom doesn't love his child and will only use his child against his wife. That nothing Chris ever does is good enough bc I am apart of the decisions. Whatever. Therefore, it bothers me that he is so upset.



That's it for now.

Agh. Mothers in law. Mine used to try to spy on my other half and believe me she didn't need to spy on his sister because she had her totally under her control.

Luckily she wasn't so stupid as to try to split us up (although she made some really choice remarks about me behind my back) because she knew that it would backfire badly on her.

Strangely it may help if you realise that none of this is personal. Seriously. If she's anything like mine was then she would have the knives out for anyone married to her son because they represent a loss of control. I could have been a nice Lutheran girl who went to church every week, lived in the same village and earned a fortune and she would still have found something to complain about.

In her favour I will say that she was very fond of children and was genuinely thrilled when I got pregnant. She even seemed to warm to me a bit.
