MIL wants me to cook Christmas dinner, but doesn't want my bios here. I said I can cook, no need to buy them gifts (my mom gets them great gifts), but doesn't want to host it. I said I'm game for anything, but Christmas Day is just us and our 5 kids. Drama. She resents me and my bios (well, all kids) for no reason, so I'd rather not have my bios around her. It's not their grandma. Now, when time comes for MY mom to invite my bios to Sea World, she'll comment. Yuk.

Wait. MIL resents you and doesn't want your kids at her house, but does want you to go over and cook her Christmas dinner and/or host her at your house minus your kids? What the hell's wrong with that woman? Maybe it's just me but the most I would do for someone that wants to use me in that manner is hand her the phone number to my grocers careering service. They cook full meals and all she has to do is swing by and pick up (or for a few bucks extra store van will deliver).

If your MIL wants the whole 'show' she'd also get my local bakery's number. They make delicious cookies and homemade candies too. Your MIL? She's got some nerve.

She's the Worst! You made my day, chicky! Bahaaa! Oh yeah, I'm the bad guy that pays for everything, cooks for everyone, takes care of all the kids, her son, and is nice to her. Pfffttt.

Yeah, I'm her B##ch! Haha in the meantime, my kids are trouble, her grandkids are a nuisance, I'm the worst, and she tries to set up my DH with madams. Oh yeah, a churchy prizefighter! Oh, and if BM that cheated on DH with a kid her son's age (who she gave up to live with her ex #1 of 3 and her daughter that lived with daddy #2 of 3), stopped by my house, she drops my a$$ to go chum with her in my driveway)- at My Dinner. Sweet.

You're only a doormat if you allow it. If you do allow, you have no one to blame but yourself.

Our MILs could be best buds. Hate mine; a no longer speak. I've only recently been able to let go of the resentment and think of her as dead to me.
