At Least He's Aware
ZOMG... okay - husband here, and y'all will feel for my poor wife... this is MY mom I am talking about here - farkin unbelievable stuff!
-When my wife was pregnant with our first (twins!), my mom kept slipping girls phone numbers in my pockets (jackets, etc) when we visited.
-She actually tried to setup a few 'dates' with me during this same time period with 'young women moving to boston' that were daughters of friends of hers.
-On our wedding day she pulled me aside in the church vestibule before I went down with the other gents to tell me some 'last minute wisdom'... said wisdom was "There is still time to leave, I'll take you to the airport"
-One of our first gifts she ever gave us as a couple was the GIANT full on notated and illustrated Emily Post's Etiquette Guide.
-To my brother's wife, she showed up one day and threw out all the food in her kitchen (while she was at work) that she didn't approve of, bought all of her son's favorite foods, reorganized the kitchen 'properly', and then left a recipe book (hand written!!) of all his favorite meals.
-She tried to report us to DSS because we homeschool. She also tried reporting us to the Truancy officer as well.
-She has purposely not given our children medication when visiting because she doesn't believe they have 'x' issue, OR she has fed them food that they are allergic to because she also doesn't believe they have allergies.
-She has given Xmass gifts to the kids over the years that were 'loaners' and not actual presents... o_O ...she's also kept a list of every item given ever, puts a G on the items (this includes socks and underwear!) and expects that when grandkids are done with them they go back to Grandma... o_O ...needless to so we don't do this... was tempted to send back dirty underwear however...
-My wife has gotten used to the constant passive aggressive commentary about her weight, clothing style, children raising method, etc... and there are SO many worse things - lets just say that of my two brothers - one of them moved out of state, and never left a forwarding address for almost 3 years - when he did, it was a good 1,000 miles away... no more 'drop-ins'... the other brother took a job in CHINA that keeps him there 1/2-3/4 of a year... literally went as far away as possible...
