@@ I'm sorry. It is hard to not return fire with that kind of thing. Better to vent and let it go here.
My first MIL actually told my mother quite sincerely on the night before we got married that I was clearly getting the better deal by getting her awesome son in the marriage. My mother was amazingly diplomatic and gently stirred the conversation in another direction. She was a piece of work.
Good lord, sj. I'm sorry you have to deal with that.
But usually I browse the internet for a bit and see if I can go back to sleep.
I had to stop that and now keep my Nook in airplane mode so I can read myself back to sleep without getting any notifications.
Holy shit, sj. I'm so sorry!
Dear 2018,
STOP IT. BAD YEAR. NO BISCUIT.
Thanks, everyone. This isn't really new except for the actual threat, but there is always some drama from her around the holidays or birthdays etc because we don't feed the energy demon.
Laura, but my kindle was all the way in the other room...
Holy shirtballs, sj. I'll often hyperbolically
say
that something is jaw-dropping, but this time my jaw literally fell right open. I never knew you've had to deal with this terrible person all these years--how much more amazing that she's even partly responsible for the existence of a gem of a man like TCG. I am so, so sorry.
JZ, sorry to hear about your brother's pneumonia, how is the rest of his treatment going?
Thank you, JZ. So much continued ~ma for your brother.
My other inlaws are coming over today, and I think I'll take a nap because now I'm exhausted and shaky.
