Vent: Gems from MIL
So MIL was in town from Thurs - Sun and while she has here, she made several funny/horrifying comments y'all might enjoy. She was supposed to be visiting some friends that apparently canceled on her. She was only going to be with us for Weds. night. Nice that she invites herself to stay however long she wants... Don't get me wrong - she's a very nice woman and I do enjoy her company, but just not for so long.
1) While helping me make Nutter Butter balls she mentioned how she still held out hope for us to have kids.
2) Since she was staying with us, she of course was at our party and insisted that DH have wine there for her (we don't drink it). That's fine, whatever - she wanted to see our friends' kids. Upon seeing our neighbor's baby girl with red hair she said "ohhh, are you sure there's not a little <DH's name> in there?" Oh yes, she did. Everyone was shocked and kinda' laughed. It was bad. She went to bed shortly after that.
3) Before she left on Sunday, she had the nerve to ask if she could bring her chihuahua with her when they come back up for Christmas. I said no. I've always said no. I do not want her or anybody else's animals in my house. Just because we have two cats now doesn't mean it's an open invitation for other animals! She went on & on about how we wouldn't notice, yada yada. Umm, no lady. She used to bring her dogs with her when she visited DH in the past, but they have not been welcome since I moved in. My stance on the matter hasn't changed.

At least things weren't THAT bad this time.
Isn't there an old saying that relatives, house guests, and fish start to stink after 3 days?

Oh yes. She's a blast as long as she's not your mom/MIL!
Well, the comment about the red hair was bad, but my absolute favorite was when she said in that loud, carrying voice (to a 3 yr old boy) "Do you go poop on the potty like a big boy? You do? Yay! You're such a big boy for pooping on the potty!".
hahahahahahaa
OMG, I missed that! Ughhhhh!
