Yeah, right, I can see what you really think about that!!!

I am most lucky to have a good MIL. Just for the record I am officially separated (4 or 5 years) but still married, one day I'll get a divorce when I get around to it.

Without going into specifics my ex and I had a child custody battle though the courts. The courts well know that I am transgender and it was a major topic in the proceedings. In my case the MIL supported me though this time against her own daughter. Its most unusual and there are reasons for it that I cannot discuss here. I am very lucky for her understanding of my TG nature (she did research on it) and I see her on a weekly basis as I make sure my son has regular contact with his grandmother.

My MIL doesn't bother me. When we talk about my Thomas, she tells me about his dad, and they are so alike! I'm so glad she's there.

There was a time last year where I was irritated w/ her. We had just moved in to our first real apartment, and had to buy everything for ourselves, all of our appliances/furniture, which was fine. Our place wasn't cluttered cause obviously we haven't ac***ulated as mush stuff as you would over 20 yrs. So when they visited a couple weeks later she kept mentioning what we DON'T have. She would say "Oh, you guys forgot to get a ....." or "I'll take you to buy a ....."

Thomas knew she was getting on my nerves and told her we would rather have a simple apartment and we didn't need certain stuff.

My SO wont have anything to do with his mom until she apologizes to me in person
which she never will anyways
I love how he is supported that way

Great thread aprill!! My MIL is a little nutty but she's nice to me. The only thing is we don't agree on certain issues like politics, religion ( she says she's a devout catholic but NEVER goes to church for confession, communion...etc.) and she is homophobic. Wich to me is fine, everyone has their own opionion and I respect that but she's knows my brother is gay and always says... ewww thats so gross and the biggest sin. Oh and she believes the devil makes people gay....LMAO!! I just ignore her for my husbands sake. Now my FIL thats a whole different story. Lets just say he can be the biggest @$$#^&*. He's always right.... ALWAYS (thinks he knows everything).

Well you can choose your partner but not your in-laws...lol

I have officially HAD it with my MIL! OMFG! She called here asking me to get out my blender so she can use it to make the kids' lunches this week. Now, a normal thought would be, "WTF is she planning on feeding them?!" All I said was, "It's glass, and I don't want it getting broken."

So, she of course asks me how it would get broken. And I tell her I have no idea, but I do know I've had two knives go missing, as well as various other kitchen/cooking utensils. She tells me she has NO idea where the knives went to, and I need to talk to my 10 y.o. about it!

Bullsh*t!!! I know for a fact those things haven't gone missing while Cyera was home, and she retorts with, "Cyera gets home before you do!" Okay, fine. That means my MIL is STILL the one home with the kids, and should still know what's going on. Right?! My daughters don't play with my kitchen stuff, and my MIL has already told on herself in saying she'll blame Cyera for whatever she can. OMFG!

I swear, as soon as summer is over, the Kylie's going into a pre-school somewhere, and I'll make arrangements for Cyera to go to a friend's house before and after school. Hell, considering my in-laws upped the rate we have to pay, I might as well pay the additional $30 a week for a real childcare center! UGH!

Crazy is about the only word for that woman. I keep telling John, he better hope she goes before I have to be the one to take care of her. Otherwise, it's either a nuthouse or nursing home, and I WON'T be visiting either way you cut it!

Thanks chica! I appreciate it. They're little terrors at times too though LOL!

After my son was born he had to spend a week in the nicu. My il's volunteered to care for our two older children since the nicu was in a different city. They had them for a week and not once did they bathe them. My girls begged for them to run water so that they could bathe and they never once did. They also wanted to leave my two children who are both in grade school alone for over two hours. I will be polite and not speak ill of them around my children but I will NEVER forgive them nor will I EVER trust them with my children again. They neglected them and that is inexcusable.

That's ate up. Tell her that for what your paying her she can buy her own blender. Sheesh what is she going to make them for lunch margaritas?
