[quote=Anonymous]hahahaha.. where to begin.

To my 6yr old daughter, while I'm standing right there:  "Don't worry honey, you'll be with grandpa and I all next weekend and mommy won't be around"  -- as a means to comfort her when I said no more sweets.

During a rant she went on about how I don't spend enough time with her family:  "You're one of us now, act like it!"  (eg You're a Smith now, act like it!")  My husband and I had been together for over a decade and married for 4 years or so.

"You are keeping me from my son and won't let him have a relationship with me"  --umm yeah, right.  I'm withholding his phone and never let him call you, whatever.

During my current pregnancy:  "All 3 of us grandmas are expecting.  So-and-so in September, then *us*, then so-and-so in December."    
also...
"I've gained 15lb over the last few months.  How many have you gained since you were pregnant?"  Me: Actually, I've lost 10lb.  "Oh that's wonderful! The doctor must be so happy!"  (um, no, it was kind of a problem actually)

My MIL brings boxes of crap from goodwill when she visits, and mails boxes throughout the year.  All kinds of used, dirty and broken junk and clothes (wrong sizes, holes, etc)  It's nasty.  They are financially well off (own their own business, have vacation homes, travel frequently, own 2 mercedes and 4-5 other cars, corvettes, etc) so I don't know why she does this.  For other people, she will buy something new.  For her grandchildren, she will not.  We've tried asking that she stop, we've tried being polite saying it's unncecessary.  She outright says no, that she'll do whatever she wants.  When we throw the stuff out, and she doesn't see it around when she visits, she gets angry about it.  Her husband (my FIL) gets mad if we say anything.. he says we are ungrateful, that we have to be nice, and that he'll make sure that she sends more if we give her "a hard time"
