IL-H Help!
This is going to be long winded, BUT...! For starters MIL liked me up until we got engaged. H is definitely a Momma's Boy! MIL is the matriarch in the family. Engaged in December, discovered thyroid cancer in february, surgery in march, radiation in May (which i wasnt allowed to see her after on Mother's day bc she was scaref since i had radiation) and the woman never said anything to me about it at all. Not one note or phone call. She expressed her dismay to H before we bought house and got married. At wedding, she sat in front row swinging her foot and had a scowl on her face the whole time. She refused to sit at the head table and sat with her friends. She even refused to take a family picture (at first) by saying she would be crying in it. H told her idc but you will be in it.MIL had conversation with SIL about why doesnt approve. Said i am not a good mother, i dont love H and his son, I slept with her son (I am 41) before marriage. MIL doesnt like change. My entire family does christmas eve. She does to. we cant do all three houses in one day as are an hour and half apart and most have dinner! She was upset bc last year newly engaged we went to all my family and had to do christmas day with her. H works for his parents. Has a hard time asking for time/days off. HELP! Any ideas?
Re: IL-H Help!
If you had radiation-based abalation, that was for your protection as well as everyone's. It is standard.
Some people have a very funny way of expressing grief. though she indeed should have called.
This sounds like a hot mess. When you knew just how *tight* he was with his mother, you should have said goodbye.
I am also guessing that this is a cultural issue. If it is, it's a billion times worse. You either accept being a fifth wheel or you move on.
So the woman has a stick up her asss, what do you care? Next year will be her turn at Christmas Eve and she'll get what she wants.
You weren't a virgin? She should be happy she didn't find your vibrator. And lube.
Seriously, what do you care if you have one less person to worry about in the world?
