So my MIL showed up for her Xmas day, whisked hubby away to go car shopping with him. He got a car lease, that is the same length as his old car under her, but now will fit both kids so yay. I wasn't terribly happy about it and he knows it, but he is right that without her help we can't afford it cause we are living off of disability and his GI bill. While we can afford the kids we can't afford a new car payment. He is pretty sure she got it out of guilt for constantly getting herself new cars, and getting his first time driver of a younger brother a new car, and offering her youngest a new car. In other words her older sister probably told her how messed up that was.

However even though this was her Xmas day with my daughter, she got daughter pretty much nothing. She said she was glad because daughter got enough from my family. Which while I am not upset with her for not buying daughter presents please don't use my family buying her presents as an excuse, just say you didn't want to. She got her a few shirts that she frankly doesn't need, because she is always bringing clothes over. She also got the baby on the way some clothes which is nice but I am dreading the used bag she is bringing over soon for little one on the way.

However the biggest issue was her blatantly ignoring hubby when we were trying to feed daughter dinner. She keeps baby talking to my daughter which drives me nuts as daughter is currently speaking very well, and when she is baby talked to it slides her back for a while as she tries to mimic the baby talk instead of actual talking. Hubby ended up yelling at her, as her ignoring him with our kid is really pissing him off. MIL also brought up us having more and I had to reiterate that no we are done, if we want another later we will adopt, (I physically cannot handle another child, but that isn't her damn business.) and there will be no oops child like she insists there will be as I am getting fixed. She pouted, whatever not my problem. Hubby got daughter eating while she was distracted harassing me about having more (can I push this one out first at the least damnit), and MIL had to admit that her son knows what he is doing with daughter.

Sides that she kept insinuating that my service dog was going to destroy the new car, or hubby would. Because if hubby smokes in the car and the cigarette butt hits the seat, I shut this down as hubby does not smoke in the car period because we have CHILDREN. He also at this point barely smokes, and almost always only lights up after MIL has been here, so he's down to 1 or less cigarettes a week. As for my dog clawing up the seats, my service dog is not ALLOWED on the seats. She either goes in the back or sits on the floor in between my legs. It will not change as even though there will be room for her between the kids, I am not having her kissing the baby and trying to sneak any food they have (she is still a dog after all), not to mention I hate cleaning out hair from car seats. I pointed out that if anyone was going to damage the seats in the car, it would be her grandkids. That shut her up quickly as the grannnnnnnnnd babies can do no wrong.

She left and I passed out from emotional exhaustion of dealing with her.
