She doesn't invite my two living family members to Thanksgiving. One of whom came 309 miles.

Oh my god, that's horrible. Sorry for your loss (and that moment with your mother in law).


Good lord.

My MIL refers to every short email as a "quickie": "Hey kids! Just a quickie from Mom to let you know ..." "DS, didn't have time for more than a quickie, but wanted to tell you ..."

My husband's ex-girlfriend's daughter looks JUST like my daughter.

There are so many good MIL quotes. She has a refrigerator magnet that says, "I just stuck my foot in my mouth and I can get it out." Says it all! How to pick just one...

Thanksgiving - MIL following me around the kitchen saying "you can always tell a table at a restaurant that has Jewish people seated because they have big noses and talk very loud". And she kept following me around the kitchen wanting me to agree. I just said "we don't talk that way and we don't encourage our children to either". She needs a filter between her brain and her mouth.

Thanksgiving- "Don't even worry if your turkey comes out dry, we can just let it sit in some chicken broth" (for the record, it did not )

"Do you always cook this much food and set in nilly willy everywhere. Crazy.."

Says to BIL on phone, " I wish you were here- you could make us your super special yummy pancakes, ____. What are we eating? Oh, we're just eating scrambled eggs w/ cheese, sausage, bacon, and..she made this cake. Oh crumby cake or something or either. She says you eat it with coffe? Oh right, a coffee cake."

After Dh had to step out with MIL to the grocery store for something, that meant I would be staying home with our twin newborns and my older toddler daughter. Twins were about 5 weeks old.

She says to DH in all seriousness, "Wait....you're going to leave her all alone with AL of them?!" I'm not sure what she thought was happening every day DH went to work.
