F/u Christmas Card: I didn't think it could get better, but...

So this past Monday, MH and I went up to Farmington to grab some lunch and see two movies (one with my SFIL and one without)-- kind of like a date.

We decided to stop by the IL's house afterwards, because I know it's important to MH that we spend time with his family. 

MIL shows me the letter from my niece's school saying she's an honour student this semester, the Christmas Card my niece's a-hole biological father's parents sent her, but never once mentioned or gave me a Christmas Card-- after telling MH a couple days earlier that she had made up a Christmas card for me but then "forgot to put postage on it and so it came back to her in the mail." 

MH told me tonight that he almost asked his mom for the card on Monday, but then decided not to. 

So it's official-- my MIL only sometimes likes me (like when she asked me to bake a cake for dessert for Sunday)... Good thing MH is so awesome!  

"Once the realization is accepted that even between the closest human beings infinite distances continue, a wonderful living side by side can grow, if they succeed in loving the distance between them which makes it possible for each to see the other whole against the sky." -- Ranier Maria Rilke BabyFruit Ticker image Me:37 MH:38 TTC since Oct 2011 BFP/Beta#1: 13 6/20/12; Beta#2: 20 6/22/12; MC/Beta#3: 9 6/27/12 BFP#2/Beta#1: 9/21/12 S/PAIFW

  • Kill her with kindness...not much else you can do.  What's she trying to prove?  Annoying.  There should be a home to place annoying MILs far out of our reach.
    Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
  • The annoyed-for-you, passive-aggressive person in me wants you to make a bunch of xmas cards and give them out to people in front of her - excluding her. But, that wouldn't do much to help the situation at all. 

    It's a good thing that your DH is on your side!
