Guest guest Posted March 29, 2002 Report Share Posted March 29, 2002 OMG!!! Your MIL sounds so bad, it almost seems like the story can't possibly be true. I cannot imagine someone having the audacity to worry about whether enough attention is being paid to them at their grandchildren's birthday parties. She must not understand that as a grandmother, it is her job to pay attention to her grandkids! Goodness gracious! Now, who exactly is Urzula? : ) Kellie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 29, 2002 Report Share Posted March 29, 2002 > Now, who exactly is Urzula? : ) > Urzula is some spoiled little rich girl that my hubby dated before he met me. As much as I despise her, I have to admit that she is rather pretty and she was some kind of Polish Princess in a parade, not sure which one and I really don't care (can you tell that I don't like her). She is very into material things and everything she wears must have a designer label on them. Now while was dating Urzula (for maybe a month at the most) his mother hated her. But once I came into the picture, Urzula could do no wrong. One Easter I went to Mass with and his mom to their church when this girl with flaming red hair sat right down next to. The look on 's face was rather funny, he looked terrified when he whispered to me that it was her. So that was how I first met her. And throughout the years she has shown up at family dinners and holiday gatherings, and 's mom thinks that she is the best thing since sliced bread. I really felt sorry for because he was just as uncomfortable as I was with it all. After MIL told her that we had just had twins, Urzula's response was, " Oh, so I guess she really does have him, huh? " Ugh!! Hello, Poop for Brains, why didn't our engagement, or our marriage, or our previous 2 children clue her in that I'm not going anywhere?! I am soooooo tempted, now that my MIL is engaged, to invite her ex- boyfriend to my son's party to see how she likes it. But she probably wouldn't stay long enough for it to bother her! On the other hand though, my mom gets a kick out of it all. She has never heard me sing her praises so often! Even Kev has told her that he likes her better than his own mom. And that's enough revenge for me ;o) Niki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 29, 2002 Report Share Posted March 29, 2002 Jeez, Niki...I can't believe that your MIL would put you and your husband in that position...so this girl was actually at Christmas dinner? What a name, Urzula...I guess if you're Polish, though....(no offense to any polish, but I mean because of different cultural traditions, Urzula is probably a pretty common name over there.) You know, your MIL reminds me of the MIL I could have had, had I married my high school sweetheart. We were together for almost two years, and for high school, that's a long time! He was one year ahead of me in school, and we started dating his senior year. So the next year he went off to the University of Washington, but it was only a half hour away so it wasn't so bad and he came home on weekends or I went up there. His mom was a snooty rich B**** and always made me feel like I wasn't good enough for his son. She and his dad always told him that high school girlfriends were "just fine" for high school, but once he got into college, he needed to "broaden his horizons" and find a nice college girl to marry. Let me just give you an insight as to how much control his parents had over this guy. Jeff always told me his biggest dream was to become a chef...however his parents wanted him to be an accountant. So guess what his major was in college? Business, of course! I should have known I never had a chance. They wanted him to join a fraternity, (which he did in his second year, after I graduated from HS, downward spiral from there) and wanted him to meet his future wife in a fellow sorority...(insert big barfing sound right here). I was never good enough because I didn't make straight A's in high school and my parents weren't rich. They made snide remarks to me when I graduated from high school and then started court reporting school the following fall. They said something like, "Oh, well, that's nice to just go into a school and train for a job." I wanted to say, "Well, at least I'm paying for my own education and not putting my parents into debt for a four-year long party." If they only knew how much their son partied in college! So of course, right before our two-year anniversary (about a week before as to avoid having to take me out or buy me a gift) he breaks up with me. He says, "I need freedom to see other girls." I said, "Well, you finally caved, I see." He had no clue what I meant, and I said, "You know, your mom!" And he said, "This has nothing to do with my mom." So that's why two years later he's emailing me asking to meet me for dinner when he's in town. So we meet and he tells me about this girl in college he's been dating for the last year, but all I get is reservations about her. Like, he loves her, but he didn't even like her for the first two months he ever met her. He thought she was ANNOYING!1! So, do people change when you start dating them? Jeez! When I was with this guy, we never fought, we just clicked. Maybe I was only 16 when we met and 18 when we broke up, but I know that if his mom hadn't interfered the way she did all the time, we might not have broken up...if we did, it would have been for other reasons. So now my mom heard that he married this chick last year...I say, "Lucky her...she gets the fakest, most materialistic, snooty, self-absorbent snob." This girl has got to be just in it for the money. They go to Hawaii every year for Christmas....and go to Cabo every summer....Must be nice! I'm just venting my past. I love my husband so much and wouldn't trade him for anyone. Jeff's wife gets not only the snooty MIL but the snooty, RUDE, SIL. Don't get me started on her! We were the same age, so you can imagine what happened there! UGH!!! At least I have a Bible-thumping, hypochondriac hippy for my MIL with a really nice FIL and even nicer step MIL, and one BIL, two step BILS and one step SIL. They're all laid back country folk from Oregon, so they're not judgmental of anyone....hehe! AYE! Feels good to get that out! Kellie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lance definitely feels that my mom treats us better and he likes her better then his own mom. My mom is a living saint - I adore her!
