More Drama....

Well, she's done it again. More drama from the MIL. And also from the husband. It goes like this:

I just got a new facebook. Never been a big social networker, but I heard lots of my college friends were on there, so I thought, why not? Then I learned that SIL also has a facebook, so we added each other as friends.

In the meantime, the husband and I make our holiday plans. After having drama after drama over this since we've been married we decided to just take turns every holiday. My parents want to take all of my family to Disneyworld for Christmas, so husband agreed that we would spend Thanksgiving with his family and Christmas with mine and then next year we'll switch. He's discussed this with MIL and everything was fine.

Back to facebook...I left my SIL a message about how they should come down to our new city (we just moved in August). Knowing we already had plans, I added "How about for Thanksgiving :-) "Well, apparently MIL has a facebook, too. She saw my comment and was, in her words, pissed. She immediately called SIL and began yelling at her for conversing with me about the holidays without her input/approval, for me trying to plan something and leave her & step-father-in-law out, for me trying to break up their family and ensure that my husband didn't get to see them for the holidays. SERIOUSLY?!?!? This woman thinks I am out to get her. She's so paranoid!

Then, husband and I get in a fight about it last night. He hasn't talked to his mom since this happened. We're not sure he will say anything to her. I personally would love to call her and say "If you have something to say to me, you need to call me and say it yourself." My husband actually thought this would be a good idea. I haven't done it, yet, but am strongly considering it. I told him I'd like him to stand up for me, that I needed his support, and that I didn't like her talking about me behind my back. All he could say was, "Well you do it, too." I couldn't believe it. Obviously we do talk about her, but I never mention her or talk about her behind her back unless she say something like this first. And at that point it's just venting. And honestly, at this point, there is nothing that I would say to my husband that I wouldn't say to her directly. After almost 5 years of this, my niceness is wearing off.
