[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sell them. [b]No one has a right to tell you to take their crap [/b][/quote]

This.  MIL wants us to take all her unwanted, useless crap so she wouldn't have to pay to have it trashed.  We've been married decades, and have everything we wan/need, so no thank you.  Yet, we asked for one thing, and she hit the roof - wouldn't STFU about it.  Funny, she had no problem 1.) trying to give us all the crap she didn't want to pay to remove (because that is exactly how she is day to day) and 2.) making a big deal about not giving us the one thing we asked for (which she knew we would take care of, as a family, and would continue to enjoy often for generations, as a family).  We have been more than generous with the family through the years, and now we know how she feels, so yeah. She is just a man, bitter person and that is how she will be remembered.

And whatever you do, do not treat your offspring differently, unfairly and/or unequally - THAT is your legacy. Period.[/quote]

I’m curious to know the one thing you and dh asked for.[/quote]

I'm sure they did it with a lot of sensitivity to the person whose death was being discussed. [/quote]

Please don’t distract.  Pp of long post, what was the one thing that you asked for that made MIL mad?

A very specific small piece of furniture.  MIL would be very happy to read it here and give it to SIL, which I am sure you would love. SILs got the pricey jewelry, large piano and so forth, which is fine, DC doesn't want that. It was DC that asked for it, I think because they know that MIL gushes over their cousins, and DC did not want to be left out.  Again. MIL and I don't have much in common, as you can guess, she is not very pleasant in person.  You can judge me all you want (isn't that why you asked probing questions), but MIL is not a kind or fair person. Which is the point.

At least OPs ILs want her to have something important to them, not the crap they don't want to pay to have removed.  OP can easily choose her IL favorites. Her iLs are making the kind gesture from their  hearts, not from some bad place in their heart that was there before OP was in the picture.  In my case, MIL has problems that are almost a century old - LONG before me! [/quote]
