So i called my husbands grandma cause she said to call her whenever i need help or advise. I asked her how to keep apples fresh cause everyone we cut into turns brown and slimy like in a hour. So after i get off the phone with her she calls back and says carol (thats my mother in law) then proceeds to make fun of me and laugh at me and when i finally told her who i was she started making these lame excuses saying she knew it was me and she loves me and would never hurt me, she says grandpa was in the fridge and was looking for the creamer what the hell does that have to do with me calling and asking about apples NOTHING. Dumb Bitch i cant stand her and we are supposed to go over there tonight for my husbands gradfathers b-day party and i dont think i can keep my mouth shut im to angry and hurt. Sorry for ranting but that was a blow.
i am a loving mommy who hugs and kisses her beautiful angels everyday and thanks god there in my life and my arms.
OH wow. Ouch. Major fuck up on her part. It sucks to find out people are making fun of you behind your back. On the bright side, all inlaws do this at some point. It's like a family tradition. I'm on my third marriage and every time someone is picking on someone. I would let it go and just not ask her for advice anymore. Come to CM we are full of advice.
I don't know what else to say but, wow. That must have been incredibly hurtful. If I were you, I probably wouldn't go. I wouldn't be able to keep my mouth shut for one, and I would feel incredibly embarrassed. Have you told your husband yet?

So you called her asking for advice and she then called you back thinking that she was calling her daughter just to talk trash about you?
Damn girl, heads would be rolling if someone did that to me.

wow, she is as stupid as my mother in law. she is a bitch who left her 7 kids for some guy.

Its her sons ex wife. there best buddies

I don;t know how they thought that was a stupid question..I was just talking to someone about this the other day. BTW, a citric acid powder or vitamin C...you may can find them at health food stores..seem to work best when sprinkled on fruit.
I guess I have been very blessed my FIL is the one that knows mainly about stuff like this in dh's family..so I call him and he has never treated me like that. Actually, he's pretty flattered when I seek his advice on things like that.
Dont' worry..your question was not stupid in the least bit and they are the ones that have issues for making fun of you. I hope everything goes well tonight at the bday party.



oh i swear my MIL talks mad shit about people escpically me i had to live with her when dh was in basic training and we just had our dd well anyway the stupid bitch got mad at me for i dont even know what at basic telling me i was a slob and didnt clean and it's like uh i do clean up after myself and my 3 month old and dh tried to call his grandma cause basically his mom was trying to kick me out so he called grandma to see if icould stay with her and his grandma was like no your mom says she's a slob when i do a damn good job keeping my damn house clean i dont know how i was a slob so i know how u feel i have been there
WOW. On the bright side, she KNOWS you know-- so atleast you won't be the only one that's uncomfortable. :-( That really sucks. Definitely let your hubby know what happened, but they ARE his family, so you can't really avoid them. :-(
