Easter

I posted here about? a month ago about my relationship with my MIL. She's very controlling and does not approve of her son (my husband) being married at all. He was never really close to her and since we got married has not been to see her very much but chooses to spend what little free time he has with me. A lot of you told me to just leave it alone and not try to fix things. After yesterday I am taking your advice.

We went to visit the inlaws yesterday after visiting my family. During my family's time, my DH's future sister in law continued to text him(this is strange also, but he never answers always just contacts his brother or mother) about us going over to his parents and they already knew we were coming later. When we did get there we sat there for over an hour and they ignored me and didn't say much to him. We have invited them to our house and my MIL refuses to come. She complains about missing him but won't drive 10 miles to see him? We left after an hour and my MIL followed us out and fussed at us about never coming. DH confronted her (big step for DH he never says anything) about never coming and that she could come to our house and she grumbled under her breath and went back inside. Then come the ugly FB posts about us after we left. I left in tears and was upset the rest of the evening. Needless to say, DH said we would NOT be going back.

My crazy family put aside differences and had a nice get together, and we actually had some disagreements. I guess some people just want to be mean.

Also, my fb status was "abducted" by my coworker on Friday. She put we were having twins. Apparently FSIL stalks my page and got everyone upset. Within 5 minutes everyone knew it was a joke that I didnt' even know about but they pitched a fit. Maybe thats why they acted the way they did yesterday. Either way, I'm free and don't have to go back! :)

 

Anniversary

  • You need to change your FB password and not tell anyone what it is, and log out if you leave your phone/computer while at work (or, you know, just don't use FB at work). Nobody but you should be logging into your page .

    Block what your in-laws can see on your FB feed, and hide their status updates from your own page so that you're not tempted to read their passive-aggressive bullshiit about you. Or, since you're done with them anyway, delete them entirely.

    It really amazes me how many grown adults on these boards have problems stemming from Facebook. Just block people or delete your account if it's creating drama. Cripes.
