What... The... Hell... Is Wrong With This Family
Let me give you an update about July 4th before I dive into the ridiculousness that is my DH's family.
When MIL came to our house she...
1. Rewashed all my dishes in the dish rack.
2. Changed BD out of the clothes DH had put her in.
3. Cleaned BD's room because she had some toys out while loudly announcing that you must clean up if you're having guests over.
4. Told BD she was going to take her this week without consulting us.

BM's Ex Came To Beg DH To Talk To Her
I forgot to post this since it happened a couple months ago when I was on a STalk sabbatical but I found it hilarious.
So one day, out of the blue, BM's exSO shows up at our place of business, takes class (we're a martial art's school), and stays to talk to DH.
Okay, for those of you unfamiliar with our story, this is the SO that:

Guess who is about to get officially uninvited to 4th of July?
MIL just left a message on DH's phone. A crazy message. A message that said:
"*Big dramatic sigh* I thought I was going to hear from you this week. Am I ever going to see my granddaughter ever again? I know you guys are having something for July 4th and I don't even know if I'm invited to it. Call me back if you even care."
Loving Almost Non-existant MIL Contact
To everyone who had suggested it much earlier (I'm lookin' at you Sally) I am so sorry I didn't follow this advice earlier. I should have done it without a second thought somewhere a year into our relationship, not almost 6 years down the line.
I am LOVING it. It feels like I finally have control of my life back, and it's not ruled by MIL's desires and whims.
There was one small blip on the radar that might be hilarious to some of you--which completely reinforces the old adage: Give a mouse a cookie and it will ask for milk.

MIL is going to blow. I can smell the crazy.
Ever meet someone who is trying to be nice as pie when they're asking for something, but the moment you say the words, "No, I'm sorry." or "Unfortunately..." their face suddenly changes like they can't control their rage?

DH Stepped Up With Crazy MIL
And I'm really proud of him. And myself because I'm learning NOT to feel guilty and just enjoy the change. I can't wait to go to our weekly counseling session to unload tonight.

Don't Do It, Kid
Last night we had a party where the crazy disney mom and her violent and mean 6 year old son came. The whole time he was hitting or kicking disney mom's BF (who is our good friend) until he thought to try it on DH.
I should mention at this point, DH and I own a martial arts school and last night's party was to celebrate some of our students testing for their next rank. The BF's one of our instructors. The kid's mother is also one of our students.

UGH I Hate Trying To Be Nice
So DH and I have been going to marriage counseling (which I highly recommend if you can find a good one--and male. I find DH respects male authority a bit better than female authority but that's probably most men) and one of the things it's helped me with is growing a backbone about MIL.

This Has Got To Be A Mental Disorder
Disney parenting has got to be a mental disorder that gets into the books sooner or later.
A friend of DH and I's is dating a woman we all know and she is... damaged? Deranged? Not sure what the right word for her is. Her 3rd marriage just failed (and for a while she even attempted to attract my DH who obviously didn't go for it) and she has one kid from each of those marriages.

Does Anyone Know?
Does anyone know if one parent has legal and physical custody, whether or not they need to contact/get permission from the other parent in order to remove the child from the country?
It's been a while since I logged on, mostly because a lot of things have been happening in the last few months that I haven't had time to vent on here. Exams, completing my masters, me and DH are in marriage counseling, my MIL, second pregnancy, etc.
