omg... dh's "step-mom" is going to drive me nuts...
I have never in my life seen such an immature 50+ year old woman. We all knew she had some mental issues 3 years ago when she and FIL started dating, but give me a break here.
They were supposed to come over at noon on the 4th of July for a cook out, and she was going to bring potato salad and dessert. My dad was here on time, everyone was starving, and they didn't show up until 2:30. We waited until 1pm to eat, hoping they would show up, but I'm not going to make my kids starve just because of someone else.
FIL came by last night, and told dh that she got her feelings all hurt (which is like a daily occurance btw) because we had already eaten... oh boo hoo... get over it woman! What do you expect when you show up 2 1/2 hours late?
This is just a drop in the bucket for the whole "oh my feelings are hurt" whiny garbage that we've had to listen to.
Is this a menopausal thing, or can someone really be this immature?




Are we related? I think you might be talking about my mother. You know she does things like that all the time, I just got sick of it and do not even respond anymore when she does these things. I am not going to spend my time trying to "Fix" her problems.
((Hugs)) to you, I hope it gets better!

Are you a M.O.M-Mom of Many? Find other M.O.M's
Seems we might have the same MIL.
Mine is a big baby to. Gets mad over the silliest things.
I say get over it and move on, I do.
Hope yours takes a chill pill and gets over it already.

She is definitely not alone in being a 50+ immature woman. I know of one that takes the cake (DH's aunt), but I am so sick of talking or thinking about her that I decided it is not even worth mentioning anymore. ((HUGS)) to you and try not to let it bother you.

my mil was the same way Desiree. She was always a couple hours late, and then blamed it on everyone else. She would whine and snivel if people didnt cave into her time slot.
The first time she and dh's dad met my mom and step dad, they were over 2 hours late to our house for dinner. She said they got lost. (we lived about a 5 minute drive away)
Anyway, I feel your pain, and hope she shoves a sock in it soon lol!!!!
Wow - that is certainly inconsiderate of her! Noon means NOON! What does she expect? I agree - get over it. I hope your dh told his dad, tough luck. Show up on time - or at least CALL, so you could put something out to snack on while you waited (tho I hate doing that, as it spoils the appetite). Not to mention, she was bringing part of the meal!! Sigh - I'm sorry you have to deal with that. Sheesh - hormornal or not, it is still rude.
Hugs to you sweetie - you don't need to be dealing with someone else throwing tantrums, do you?

I had to laugh at Wendy's comment "you don't need to be dealing with someone else throwing tantrums, do you?"... boy isn't that the truth???!!!!
