So my MIL and FIL are in town for the month. They live in Fl. (BM and skids live about a hour from them) So they get to see them often. Well they stopped by last night, and we have not seen them in so long, but most of what was talked about was about BM. This happens all the time! The latest news flash was about BM having to go to a funeral last week for her "friend", as MIL proceeds to tell me this friend, was the maid of honor at BM and DH's wedding, and BM is having such a rough time.(as told to them by the skids) DH and I had already knew about this, cause DH's sister had told him last week. This friend of BM's killed herself, and it is not someone BM really hung out with anyways (she does not really keep friends) So I pipe up and say to MIL, "yeah, this is the same girl that killed herself right?, BM has been writing about it on myspace, and bragging that she got a date at the funeral, she sounds so broken up, ha-ha-ha". That ended that conversation! Then MIL tells us that they took the skids out for the day, right before coming up here, and BM was not home at the pick up or drop off of the skids, and the skids were starving, and had not eaten past the night before, and there was not much food in the house. So they went out to eat, and the skids stuffed themselves. No big surprise there, but we don't need to hear these stories, about how sloppy the skids look, or BM's behavior. BM has always been like this, and no one said or did anything, and now, it's all an issue, to be talked about to death. DH said he did not want to hear anymore, that no one cared about all this before, but, for some reason, it is what we end up discussing. I plan to try to deflect the attention away from these kinds of talks, as we do have better things to talk about, but I don't want to act like a bitch about it, cause I do love my MIL/FIL very much, but this is getting old!
