Can we discuss?

mancila60 · January 2014

Can we please discuss the 1 in law we can't stand the most? I know Kushie has a crazy MIL and a couple of you ladies have a FIL who is out there.

I feel like H got great IL's overall and I got the crazy end. I mean H and I got crazy SIL's but at least his brother married someone we can stand for a little while. My brother however I feel like I am counting down the days till they get a divorce. It's horrible I know but honestly it's how I feel.

Lol, crazy is an understatement. And she's been quiet lately which had me on pins and needles for some over the top insanity. Thankfully H is an only child and had no crazy siblings.

My brother's ex-wife is bonkers. One minute they were talking about having a baby and the next she kicks him out. Probably because she was embezzling from her employer and needed to get out of town. When she left she didn't pay a bunch of bills in my brother's name and now he's having issues with taxes she filed 3 years ago. She's kind of like the nightmare that won't go away.

My brother was her 3rd husband and from the looks of her Pinterest (the only social media we're still connected on) she's found #4.

Of course you ladies (most of you) remember that about a year ago my family just made up and before that we were having major issues mostly with my brother and SIL. Well since last year we have been doing great except my SIL refuses to speak to me or H. But she tells everyone that she doesn't have a problem with us. She came with my brother to the hospital when Ethan was born and talks about us all the time to people but when she is in front of us at dinners and stuff she ignores is completely.

My brother's birthday is like 2 weeks away so she texts everyone yesterday to let them know she was throwing him a surprise bonfire party the Sat before his birthday. Oh except she didn't text me or H which to me says everything right there about how she feels. She is just really annoying and I hope one day my brother decides to leave her.

I seriously love all my in laws.

This is why I am fairly certain my H ended up with the crazy in laws X_X

Eh. I don't think we are bad crazy, but more fun crazy.

I have one crazy in law. My MIL. My H will agree. Except that I always feel guilty about complaining about her crazy because she has a medical excuse for it. She had 4 strokes in 2006 which basically left her as a traumatic brain injury victim. It changed her personality and now she's like a bratty spoiled teenager that we end up having to parent more than anything. It's actually very sad so I try not to let her antics bother me too much. H would kill me if he knew I said that about her, even if he knows it's true.

My family is a bunch of loud crazy Irish drunks but in the lovable sense they would do anything for us and have helped us in so many ways but I know they come off as crazy. Lol. My H's family is just kinda boring, they don't really talk about anything real and they not really around a lot. His one brother definitely would of been diagnosed with a high function form of aspergers, it's kinda sad because he would do anything to help us but can't be so annoying t times, his other brother and wife are fun but kinda snobby, we don't see them that much. I could be worst. For whatever reasons his parents adore me so I can't complain even though they are so different from my family. We are like that movie big fat Greek wedding. I got the big loud family, he got the quite small conservertaive family.

H's family is so sweet. I think mine is ok too. My aunts on my mom's side are crazy but we have little to no interaction with them.

My SIL (H's sister) is annoying as hell! She loves to whine and complain and she thinks that the family should revolve around her and her family. Her H is in the army and they were living in Maryland for awhile, now they live in Korea. She gets pissy because H and I are closer to BIL's (H's brother) son than we are her kids. We hardly ever see her kids and when we do they are bratty and mean! I told H that I refuse to live in the same town as her when we have children because I just know I'll be lectured constantly how I should be parenting.

H's grandma is bat shat crazy as well but everyone in the family agrees to that! At Easter this past year she said to me, in front of the whole family, when H and I were going to have children. May not seem like that big of a deal but she followed it up with:

"You know that I need a great grand baby from my favorite grand child!"

She said this in front of H's whole family including his brother & sister who both have children. I was mortified! I ignored her but she said it again and again! Ugh, holidays are always a treat aren't they

My MIL definitely has her moments. Like when I told them I was pregnant and then proceeded to tell, what I thought was, a funny story about how licking an envelope made me gag. I then got a 5 minute lecture about how the chemicals on the envelope will basically kill me.
My mom is also her own special kind of crazy lol
H definitely wins in the crazy IL department though, for dealing with my brother.

I'm pretty lucky on the inlaw front over all, just FIL doesn't know when to shut up and sometimes seriously creeps me out, but I try and put up with it and just keep my mouth shut because I think he is honestly clueless as to how he comes across sometimes.

That's so funny. That's my dad! He comes off creepy, but he's just socially awkward and downright clueless.
