This Takes The Birthday Cake

Okay, I've resisted bitching about my in-laws on this blog for several weeks... Lemme tell 'ya, there's been a LOT to bitch about, but noooooooo, I was determined to be a gentle wife and...

LET....

IT....

GO!

But this just takes the cake and I simply could NOT resist any further, so here goes.

My mother-in-law is BLOWING OFF our son's second birthday to get some plastic surgery done.

PLASTIC SURGERY!

I'm so livid that I can't stop laughing...

Oooooohh....this takes the cake, the baker and the bakery! And you have given me the delicious idea of using in-laws as blog fodder. My pa-in-law is as sweet as they come, but my ma-in-law is worth a year's list of posts! Thank you, thank you, thank you. ;)

One of my husband's sisters didn't come to our wedding because she had her dog put to sleep that day. Nice.

Mom said...

Please tell me you are joking!

Wow... interesting way to celebrate a grandson's B-Day. It's not like she didn't know when he was born, or is it?

She must be pretty fugly to get plastic surgery over her grandchild's birthday.

No I'm most certainly NOT joking. I wish I was.. .

Yes, she's known about his birthday for.. um, 2 years now.

And, Yes and no. She's fugly on the inside. Plastic on the outside :-)

That really is amazingly unbelievable. What is the world coming to? She couldn't have scheduled it any other time? Maybe she wanted some attention. LOL - Make it a great party any way.

I understand how you feel...except my mother-in-law is great, it's my own mother that is the problem.

I recently went home to visit. My mother didn't even show up to the airport to pick me and my daughter up. When I called her she asked me to take a cab. I said no and almost flew home on the spot. Later in the week she had a crying scene about how her grand daughter lives so far away and only gets to see her a few times a year. So tell me, if she is so worried about not seeing her enough why did she go out every night previously?

sigh...maybe we should start a blog together just to vent about how parents can suck.

Are you kidding? I WISH my mother-in-law would skip my son's birthdays for plastic surgery. First one? Getting her jaw wired shut. Ooops, did I type that out loud?

Just pray there are no complications--imagine if she died on your son's birthday! He'd have to deal with that sadness each year as everyone remembered Grandma. Selfish, selfish. Just don't let your husband waste any time on your son's special day visiting or even calling in to check on her.

you have to be kidding me.

Ugh, I just spent the evening with my inlaws..I kinda wish they'd go away and have some plastic surgery...Did that sound b*tchy?

See it as a blessing. She wont be there! W00T! Best present she could give you.

Small Town Mamma said...

That is the absolute bottom line of selfishness! If she thinks she needs plastic surgery that bad, maybe she is to be pitied? .... Nah. Just a b*tch.
