My Mother in Law strikes again

I'm telling you, if this woman lets a week go by without pissing my husband off it's a freakin miracle. She came through town for less than 10 minutes this weekend & managed to rile my house up for the next 4 hours & Hubs has been having nightmares for the last 2 nights.

Thankyouverymuchbigmouthedmotherinlaw. Heifer.

WHY WHY WHY did she feel the need to take it upon herself & tell Hubs that "It pisses me off that you can't keep this house clean!" Seriously - that's my thing to bitch about & no one gets to yell at him about that but ME. Ok? I'm the one who lives there, I'm the one who asks "Honey can you please clean the floors this week?", so I'M the one who gets to yell at him for not doing them. Just an FYI. I'M the Mom in this house - not you.

If you "know" that your son is depressed please do me a favor & shut the fuck up & leave him alone. Quit rubbing salt in his wounds & making him feel worse ~ honestly, it just makes my job harder. He feels like dirt for not being able to find a job, he feels like a failure as a man for not being able to provide for his family, he's struggling with fulfilling the "Mom" role around here & I'm just trying to help him keep his head above water. He does not need you to tell him that "You at least have to work SOMEWHERE. This is ridiculous." You don't say that crap to your SAHM-of a daughter, and you never worked throughout a 28 year marriage (and you had a maid to help you with the kids & the house)!! Don't tell my husband that he needs to get a job to be a man ~ you defend your daughter every time someone says that she doesn't work. You are speedy-on-the-damn-draw to point out how much work it is to stay at home with kids ~ don't you dare pull a double standard on my house.


And for the love of all that is holy ~ PICK A FREAKING SIDE ALREADY!!!


Don't yell at him & call him a slacker & tell him he needs a job to be a real man ~ and then when I mention that I am taking the Princess for a playdate one afternoon "to give them a few hours away from each other" --- don't pipe up with "Well he needs more than a few hours off."

WTF?!? He's a slacker who needs a vacation? HUH?!

Woman you can't play both sides of the field ~ pick a team & play your heart out for them. Ok??

Or better yet ~ shut up & get out of my house!!!!!

My MIL is the whole reason I started my second blog! I hope that venting about yours is helpful as well.
