[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These days, yes.  I have always loved my MIL but lately she is grating on my last nerve.  She and FIL are both retired and spending more and more time traveling.  Then they expect everyone to drop their lives to take care of their dog, their house, etc while they are away.  She expects me to know their extensive vacation schedule forward and backwards. but she won't just email the fucking dates so I can put them on the calendar.  She tells me in passing and then expects me to remember every detail of HER vacation.  I'm like lady, look, I work a demanding, stressful job, I have my own family whose schedule I have to manage, and I frankly don't give a damn where you are jetting off to next.  Go, have fun, great for you, but find someone else to babysit your geriatric, annoying dog (or, you know, pay to board him), find someone else to coordinate your renovation contractors while you are sitting on the beach in FL.  I don't have time between my 10 hour work days, work travel, kid activities and taking care of my own damned house.  Oh, and did I mention that I have family too?  I have a mom of my own who also needs my help.  Grrr.  She is going to turn into one of those bitchy old nags who can't see past the end of her own nose, I can tell.  All of us were so relieved to see her go to FL for six weeks![/quote]

Easily solved. "Oh, MIL. You will have to remember to tell your son all those details so he can manage x,y,z for you while you are gone."

Done. [/quote]
