I don't want to go home

pennyone's picture

I will be out numbered, MIL and SD and
DH will be there. What am I suppost to
do? I cannot communicate with them. My nerves are shot. MIL thinks every thing
is owed to SD. She is to busy to do anything including find a job..whatever.
Help me please......Just be nice and agree with everything or speak my mind and hope that DH stands beside me? I don't know what to do....I hate her
coming to my home.

I do "fake bitch" with MIL just bc she's so nice to my kid. Otherwise, i can't stand her. I keep waiting for the moment she drops down and starts literally kissing SD's ass since she does it so often figuratively.

Fake bitch face is easy...especially if the end goal is a sigh of relief from DH at the end of the evening...I know it's horrible and I might get flamed for this but while I'm doing FakeBitch I just think to myself, "ok...Barbie you'll get through this interraction. She's 70...how much longer will you actually have to deal with this?" It's evil. But it gets me through.

I like this, tell MIL how it really is around this
house.......I like, maybe DH will stand beside me.
We'll see...Think of me tonight:(

this should be your mantra "I understand your concern MIL. DH and I certainly have a lot to discuss later.". Issues regarding sd do not need to be discussed in MIL's presence where she can force her demands down your throat. She can say whatever she wants, but you and dh get to choose when it affects BOTH of your lives.

SD is already at home and MIL is most likely there
also, SD has to let her since we have a alarm system and I have 2 stops to make then I walk into a pandoras
box....I need to calm down..DH won't be there till
around 7pm.....oh no...

how about...you let them catch up and suggest they make dinner together? you have some things youneed to take care and you know how much they like to hang out. then they can let you know when you need to help set the table.

I like that, but they only see each other twice
a year once thru the summer and christmas time.
I check SD's phone records and they never talk.
Except when SD17 wants something....OMG I'm dying...

Whenever I'm in an uncomfortable situation around ppl that I'm uncomfortable with, I always have me a couple of glasses of wine to loosen up. So the menu tonight should be spaghetti and a bottle of White zifandel Wink

Or go out to dinner with a girlfriend and let them catch up with themselves.
