Story: I'm Still Wondering
Average Rating: 3
I had just given birth to our second child, a daughter.
My in-laws came to visit and present me with a beautiful fountain pen.
I thanked them profusely for the gift. My mother-in-law piped up:
"Just think what you would have gotten if it had been a boy!"
Story: Interesting Gift

This past weekend, my fianc=C3=A9's parents threw "us" an engagement
party (I use quotations because we, the honored couple, were never asked
for input regarding the guest list). I have many a complaint about these
people - and every problem comes from their need to control EVERYTHING.
As an adult whose parents taught her how to think for herself, I have a
problem understanding their need to comment or complain about every
independent decision my fiance and I make together.
Regardless, a party is a party, and I am not one to bitch verbally about
such events. Their craziness, however, becomes very clear when his
parents announce they have something special for my parents, and a small
envelope is handed over. Inside are three photos - a recent one of me, a
recent one of my finance, and a recent one of the two of us together.
They are all great photos ... but one of them looks familiar - why?
Oh, because my mother took it, and posted it on Facebook. With a look of
horror, my guy leans over and whispers - "Didn't your mother take that
photo? " "Surely not," I reply. So my guy asks his dad - "Dad, did you
take these photos?"
"Yes! Everyone one!"
But no! Lies! I go home, log into Facebook, and sure enough - its the
exact same photo that my mother took herself. It's still posted in one
of her Facebook photo album.
Seriously - its one element of crazy to download a photo from my
mother's Facebook account and give it to her. It's a whole other realm
of crazy then to claim is as your own! Did he not think my mother would
recognize a photo she took herself?!
Oh goodness.
Advice Wanted: Constantly ask about grandchildren...
What do you do with in-laws that constantly ask about grandchildren?
I have had my fill of this!
We got married 2 years ago, and 8 weeks and 2
days after we got married we started getting asked if we were planning
to have a baby. At the time I politely replied, "At some point yes, but
we are not ready yet. We are just getting adjusted to and enjoying
married life." I thought this would put an end to it, however, I was
very wrong.
