Firebird- I tease DH now and tell him that he wanted to elope because he knew if I met his mother first I would run the other way  . We eloped in August on my birthday (18 years ago next Wednesday). We told my parents in advance but I don't think they believed me. We flew to Tennessee for Christmas to meet his mom and Step father. Spent a few days with them and then flew to Minnesota to see my parents.
They promptly took us from the airport to the Mall of America. My mom was in a mood and my dad turned to my husband and said "See what you have to look forward to in 25 years?" and my husband, straight faced said "I can only hope Sheila is half as beautiful as her mother in 25 years". Freaking suck up. My dad nearly had a heart attack laughing (which didn't thaw my mom's mood very much) but she smiled and said that DH was a lovely young man and welcome to the family.
We have a habit of getting engaged quickly. DH and I met in February and married in August. Older DBro proposed 28 days after his first date with my SIL. Younger Idiot Brother was jealous that my sister had gotten engaged the week before (to a guy she'd been dating for 2 1/2 years) so he proposed to my ExSIL at the 25 day mark so he could beat my brother. He also planned his wedding reception (local reception after destination wedding that no one was invited to) for the week before my sister's wedding. He's kind of an ass. Now don't hold back, tell us how you REALLY feel...  |

So to "punish" my DH for not communicating with him more she sent him an email a year ago to inform him that he will have to "share" his inheritance from her and the current husband with his half siblings. He just shrugged and was like "whatever, it's your money". He told his siblings what his mom said and their responses ranged from "that bitch can burn in hell" to "I'll burn any penny she gives me" to "I'd donate every dime to a orphaned children's charity".
JFC. She sounds like she'd be DELIGHTFUL dinner company.

My parents definitely like my spouse more than they like me. I don't really blame them, she's a lot nicer than I am. My in-laws love me, I think. I like to do all the stuff they do and that my wife doesn't really care for (drinking, gambling, golfing).

For dinner- granted we haven't seen her in over 5 years. But when we did she would always make fish because she knows I hate fish. And then she'd say (because she's southern like that) "Oh, sweetie why aren't you eating? You don't like fish? Oh bless your heart, guess you can eat the hushpuppies and we can enjoy the fish". |

Seems like the Boy saw his grandmother's genes coming and ran the other way  |

Taz- I don't wish her any ill will. I just hope that she stays safely in Arizona (where they retired to) and leaves us be. I do hope that at some point she will wake up and realize the error of her ways and apologizes to my husband. But I'm realistic enough to know that will never happen.
Firebird- Oh I "turned DS against her" when I told him at age 4 that he didn't have to hug her (she was demanding a hug at the time) but to please tell "welcome to our house". |

Ooh, that's a good one. I might have to steal it. I have this weird feeling that you could have fallen at her feet to untie her shoelaces and thrown DS into one of her arms and a huge bouquet of flowers into the other and she'd still have found some way to be offended ("WHY ARE THESE FLOWERS DAISIES? YOU KNOW I HATE DAISIES!"). But no, that's crazy, right?

In her eyes my Yankee bitch stole her Southern mama's boy and snuck off and married him behind her back. She will never forgive me for eloping with her son and "robbing" her of her dream wedding.
She's been married 5 times so far! It's not my fault one of those 5 wasn't "dream wedding" enough for her. |
