[quote=Anonymous]My DH’s SIL just gave birth recently and after about a week we received an emergency text saying they needed us to come out immediately (~6h drive, Friday).

There was no emergency. She just thrust the baby into my arms as soon as we arrives and disappeared into the bedroom to sleep. They needed a babysitter for their newborn, apparently, so the husband who was on paternity leave for two weeks could play xbox.

But the false pretext isn’t even the part that bothered us-when she resurfaced on Sunday she proceeded to repeatedly make insults about my weight (even though I’m 40lbs lighter than her pre-pregnancy weight) and tell me that I was a failure and should just cancel the applications I have in for some advanced programs. I have more advanced degrees and she’s always made snide comments but whatever...Still rude.

Then she said that she didn’t want us for the winter holidays after making a big deal out of it previous years but to still make sure to post gifts for all of them early since she was still planning on hosting MIL after she did her local family side’s events and their 3+bedroom apt obviously was no longer big enough.

Then BIL made a comment about how he hoped my (upper body changes, size-wise) went much better than his DW’s, as she and my DH are all sitting in the main room with us. I about fell off the couch.

Needless to say, we’ve opted out of seeing them for Thanksgiving and consider ourselves to be off the hook for any future winter holidays (and gifts, except as we’d like to the new baby).

I’ll throw in the time MIL made a longggggg corporate-atule speech at the rehearsal dinner that basically devolved into yelling/shaming me for not giving her grandchildren. My family was not amused, at all, and DH was so unhappy with her he refused all holidays for at least a year.[/quote]
