WTF!!!!!!!

That is pretty much all I have to say to my MIL at this point...WTF!!!! My hubby called her Tuesday evening to let her know it would've been nice to have been told that his Granny was in a nursing home and out of the hospital and all she had to say to him was "well, I have been waiting a couple of weeks for you to call". So, he replied "well you know you always say the road runs both ways" to which she replied nothing. He then said that he called her Saturday and didn't get a call back and she tells him "well I didn't get a message cause the batteries in my answering machine died." Yeah likely story, how do the batteries die but it still picks up and takes the message from Kyle in the first place. So, then she tells him she isn't doing anything for Thanksgiving and I think okay so now we don't have 3 places to go at this point. (YEAH!!!!)

So, Wednesday night I venture out to get some stuff for Thursday that I have forgotten and when I get home I am informed that my MIL got her other son to call me and my husband at 9:30 PM Wednesday night to tell us that she is having something at her house at 4 on Thurday! WTF!!!! I was livid. She couldn't call herself after what my hubby just got through telling her not 1 night before!!!! So, we didn't go. If she had wanted us there she would've called herself. Of course, my husband's grandma (not the one in the nursing home) doesn't see it that way. When that side of the family asked why we didn't go to her house for Thanksgiving I replied "if she had wanted us there she would've called herself" to which I got the lovely response of "well, Pam, maybe when you get older you will understand everything she has on her mind." Yeah like her son who had nothing to do with her for 6 years that all of a sudden needs her when I was the one there for her the last 4 years!!! I politely got up and left her house!!!! How dare his family throw all this back on me and take up for the woman who never has a kind word to say about any of them!!! How dare they make it look like my fault that she is up her other son's ass now and has nothing to do with us because her other son needs her so much now when before he didn't even go over to her house although they lived right beside each other. It is not mine or Kyle's fault that I have tried to go see her and she is never home, or she never gets our messages or she doesn't want to call us or come see us even though she has been invited numerous times.. I AM DONE!!!!! You can't make someone see what they don't want to see! I tried talking to her about 2 months ago and all she had to say to me was basically everything was mine and kyle's fault. That we backed away, and never called anymore. Well, why am I going to keep calling someone that is either never home, doesn't return my phone calls, or wants to see her other grandson all the time anymore over my child. She also told me that she was just trying to get a relationship w/ a grandchild that she hasn't known for 2 years. Oh, and basically disown my child in the process? I don't think so!!!!

Other than all of that drama my Thanksgiving was great!!! Only got to see part of my family since some of them couldn't come down and others were working but it was still good. I made a pie for the 1st time and it went over really well. My dad told me that my grandma would be proud of me!! I made his favorite--Lemon Chess Pie--and he said that he hadn't had one of those since like 1970 and it was every bit as good as he remembered one being :)
