Two GRAN

So I get to work this morning and my email goes off during a meeting. So I read it this morning and its J forwarding me and email from his mother. In this email, she says that she wants all of his stuff out of her home. She also wants its done by Nov 1 because she would like her garage back. The funny thing is that there is nothing in the garage, its all in his old room. So IDK what she is talking about. In the email, she said that she doesn't want to drive the truck out to us, so she is going to hire a company to do it. Then gives us the link...I look at it. She is going to pay 2,000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here are my issues:

1. why do we have to get everything out?

2. You can't call your son on his birthday on Sunday but you can send an email telling him to get his stuff out. Or and to say...I am not sure if this is the right email?

3. Why in God's name would you ever pay that much just to get rid of your son?

There is more but I don't want to type them. She makes me SO mad.

MILs are something else aren't they?

It sucks that she seems to be wanting all that done so fast and can't pick up the phone on J's bday. But if that's how she wants to spend two grand more power to her.

You should like J. now we are fight because I am mad that she is A. kicking him out and B. wasting so much money.

J doesn't care. So now I am mad all by myself. and he is mad that I am mad.

I have a feeling that I am over reacting here. I guess I let my emotions get the best of me, but it hurts to see how he is treated.

I agree with you. I don't get it. I feel this way about my J sometimes. All of his stuff had to get out of his parent's house when he moved into mine. It was like really? We have all of the wedding gifts, some furniture we already don't know what to do with. I sometimes can't even walk there is that much stuff. But you can't keep one paper box of F'in trophies? really?

That being said, I think you should try to let it go. Obviously he doesn't feel mistreated by it, but I would make sure that she is not expecting you to pay that 2000, sometime down the road. Like get it in writing make sure.

Good Point Alyssa!!!! I never thought of that. She often tries to hang money over his head. I am not sure how to bring it up to him without sounding like a bitch. We went to bed mad last night, so we'll see how today goes.

I forget how far away you two are from her, but is it just something you can drive over there and pick up one weekend? There's two months between now and the 1st of November.

As for him being mistreated, he's probably so used to it by now that it just isn't worth getting worked up over to him.....

Wow how rude of her and whoa on the money. But I agree that he's probably used to how she is. It doesn't make it right. I would be upset too. Hopefully you both get through you mad. Hugs!

ImperiumWife · September 2013

I just figured that she wasn't planning on paying it. From what you've told us, it seems like something she would do.

Do you have any friends that could pick up the stuff for you and hang on to it until you can get up there?

Jean9ds · September 2013

I definitely would check to make sure she doesn't expect you to reimburse the $2000. Other than that, yes I totally understand crazy MILs. Hopefully you get through this without any added drama than is already there

@Mark- She is 13 hours away from us. After calming down, and thinking about what Am and others have said, they are right. If she wants to pay 2000 to get his stuff out then that is her prerogative. He probably is used to it, now I wish I could get used to it. It just makes me so mad, and then he acts like its nothing which makes it worse.
