My weekend

We just got back from a stressful weekend with the ILs.  It is getting to be very uncomfortable for me to be around SFIL.  He is so hateful and condescending toward MIL.  I don't think that I heard him say anything nice to her all weekend.  I just don't get it.  MIL and SFIL haven't been married that long, and I am glad DH didn't grow up in that environment.  She tries to justify it because he was in the military.  Serving our country doesn't give you a free pass to be jerk. 

Then SBIL was high as a kite.  There is lots of drama there and denial/enabling on SFILs part.  It's not a situation that I want to have my child around.  I am trying to figure out how we can just have MIL come visit us by herself.

I am so glad to be home. : )

Re: My weekend

  • I'm so sorry to hear that.  My ILs fight all of the time too, so I understand the stress.  I hope you can figure out a solution in the near future!
  • I'm sorry your weekend was so stressful.

    Has YH brought it up to his mother?

    I was thinking the same thing.

    Not really.  He doesn't have much opportunity to talk to his mom without SFIL being around.  He does say to SFIL, don't give her hard time about blah, blah, blah and tries to nicely defend her.  He tries too hard to make everyone happy. 

    DH's brother did confront SFIL about SBIL.  He was trying to talk him into having him involuntarily commited ro rehab, since he feels he is a danger to himself and others.  That went over well....

  • Ugh, sorry. I seriously would refuse to bring the kid around if the stoner was going to be there. And I'd be loathe to have him around SFIL. You don't want him growing up thinking it's ok.
  • Maybe you can claim to have a "girls weekend" with just MIL?

    That's sucks!  Sometimes family can get so complicated and it's the people in the middle who suffer.  I'm sorry you are the ones in the middle right now :(

  • yikes! welcome home to some peace!
  • That really stinks.  I would really hate to be in that situation.

    I'm finding that most of  the time men don't like to be confrontational when it comes to their family.  Glad YH said something  about the whole rehab thing.  Also glad they live far away.

    How did Will do on the plane?
