First off I am really not a B*tch.......

We lived in Vegas during the 90's boom. My InLaws live in Salt Lake City. Still do..to say they were horrible parents to DH during his childhood would be generous.

They planned trips to WDW with him and when it was time to leave somehow there was not enough money for him to go along.

His Stepfather would beat him for stuff most people would yell at. During his beatings if it was nice out his Mother would come in and tell him to stop the beating so she could close the windows/doors.

At the age of 15 he was required to get a job (job permit from school) and pay for his expenses: clothes, medical , dental and room and board.

I could go on and on.......

My MIL is a drug addict, not crack or meth but prescription pills. They came to visit us in July. July in Vegas is like 117 outside. DH is an Iron Worker he works outside. We use the air conditioning. She did not like it on. It was too cold, so she turned it off. In Vegas in July it takes your place 2 days to cool down! So after about 36 hours we were like boy it sure is hot. DH was pissed!

At the time we had a 15 year old Black Lab. She was old and did nothing to bother anybody. She never barked she was so sweet and old. My MIL just opened the front door and pushed her outside. Not in the backyard or on a leash. My dog was wandering around our neighborhood in the 117 degree heat lost.

She then started rifling through our drawers looking for ?? We did not have what she needed. She did this while we were still in bed sleeping. I woke up to her end my dresser. I asked her WTF? She said she was looking to see that I cleaned DH's clothes, socks and underwear. She started in on me that I was a bad wife. And then...........she asked what I was MAKING her for breakfast. I flipped out and told her to pack all her crap and hit the McDonalds on her way out of town. I told her to call her "Doctor" so she would have her "prescription" waiting for her when she gets into town.

She then started telling DH she never wanted to have him and it was her fault her life was ruined at 17. Then DH told her to get out.

They left and we didn't hear from them until we moved back to I'll two years later.

That and when DH's Step Father met our boys (MIL has never even acknowledge them) are also fun stories.
 
Also what makes me really sad was that on Wednesday my 4 year old asked his Daddy -- "Do you have a Mommy and Daddy?" DH told him yes that they live far away. "Can we go visit them Daddy?" DH said no they were not a very nice Mommy and Daddy. "Can I call them and ask them why they were not nice to you?" :-(

That was heartbreaking to hear.......

OMG, that's horrible that any parent would treat a child like that.


Why on earth would either you or your DH ever have anything to do with either of them again? Why ever let them within 100 miles of your sons?

My mother sounds like your mil. Totally sucks, but life goes on.

i would have tossed her out when I found out about the dog. You are a better person than I! you did the right thing. you have to protect your family, and it sounds as if she would probably have gotten physical with you, your dh, kids, etc if she stayed any longer. It is not your fault what she does, so dont feel bad. Just use it as a learning experience, and when she wants to visit again, give her a list of hotels she can stay at!

The Las Vegas "incident" happened in 1993. So that was awhile ago. Both DH and I were much younger and for some reason he seemed to want to try and have a relationship with his "parents".

Only his Step Father has met/seen the boys. This was at DH's Grandmothers 80th Birthday party. My boys were 20 months and 11 days old. Someone at the party told my oldest that over there is his Grandpa and DH snapped very loudy "That is NOT his Grandpa do not confuse him. His Grandpa is at home with his Grandma in IL."

We have no intention of EVER allowing our children to have any kind of relationship with them. It is just hard to make a 4 year old understand the situation.
 
It drives me nuts sometimes that wonderful loving folks are usually the ones who have the hardest time starting a family and folks who should never be allowed within a hundred miles of a child can pop kids out like Pez dispensers.
 
:huggy: I'm sorry he has such ugly parents, and I don't blame you one bit for throwing them out!

Do you think she was going through drawers looking for pills?

Yes. But we didn't have any. She also knew that. She was also babbling incoherently. She was/is still a mess.

If I told you guys what she did to DH's dog when he was a child you all would form a posse and head off to SLC. The irony of the that story is that she rescues dogs. Probably because of guilt:surrender:


She is a rotten, selfish person and honestly I hope I never have to deal with her. I am older and wiser now. Plus I know longer take anybodies crap and call it like it is. :boxer:
