ah a post near and dear to my heart! It has taken 14 years for my MIL to get over herself. I have learned to now be sweetly sarcastic. When we first were married and had our son, She was babysitting him for an hour for us, I had reluctantly let her since she came up to see him from Florida. Anyway we got back early and caught her packing all of his stuff into her van! She was stealing my son! Yup BIG mistake there! I won't ballistic, I told her I was calling the cops and that she could rot her A** in jail. My hubby was not happy and told that if she forced a choice she would lose. Anyway, it always was, "Jennifer is a city bitch whose a slut and sleeping around", "Jennifer is not taking care of her son and grandson". Whatever. I finally had enough, I told hubby's grandmother (whose was just as bad) to leave my house. I finally started to be sweetly sarcastic with them. They would ALWAYS say, aren't you feeding your son he looks skinny! So I just told them "no it's too expensive to feed him I'll just send him to your house" And the line of me being a city bitch and slut, well I started a riot when a close friend of ours (whose a truck driver and a man) slept on the couch waiting for my hubby to get home from work (who knew he was there) Oh I had a BLAST w/ that one! But I guess I've finally gotten the tough skin and I am ALWAYS on my guard.
