So, we're going to dinner with MIL and her BF Saturday night. :sick:

I can't stand her, and she doesn't like me. Never has. Yet, she pretends she's my best friend when we're together around other people. I know she's gonna be on the phone to everyone she can think of Sunday running me in the ground.

Thank god for southern comfort and cigarettes, I guess.

I share your pain. I just had dinner with MIL, DH and SS a few weeks ago. It didn't go so well.

Just remember you're the better person in the situation and one day her true colors will shine through her fake exterior.

I'll be thinking about you. Good luck!

Thanks :).

The funny thing is, everyone in her whole family knows the truth already. DH and SIL both know she's a two-faced liar.. they just play her game.

She's one of those people you can't confront.. it would be a complete waste of my time and energy.
Like, if I said this computer screen in front of me is white, and she says it's green.. by god, it's green. She would argue forEVER about it. She's just in her own world...

Your better than me. I won't have anything to do with MIL. Call me a "Money Grubbing Whore" one time and that is it. Thankfully they moved out of state before we got married and I don't have to see them anymore. They are welcome to visit but they can't stay here....

Just have a cocktail and play with your phone...I do that with my own family and that helps make the evening go faster.

What is it with these MIL's?? Mine did everything she could to break us up for like the first 3 years we were together. I mean, she told lies about me to the rest of DH's family, went out of her way to make sure I wasn't invited to 'family' functions since I was only her son's GF. I found out she was telling lies about me and didn't talk to or see her for about a year.
I think it was at that point, she realized I was just as stubborn as her and I wasn't going anywhere.
I am nice to her now because she still keeps the skids, and I would hate to think she would be mean to them because of me, but I could totally see that happening.
Her BF lives in another county though, and OMG.. I really hope they get married and she moves. That would totally make my LIFE!!! lol
And.. I will definitely be having a drink. Before, during and after.. I don't do the phone thing. Usually I distract myself making faces at or playing with the skids :P.
