FMIL

kevinandmonica2011 · March 2011

Sooo.... the mortgage specialist from the bank just called me. Apparently Kevin's mom called her, yelled at her about the "gift letter" and refused to give any information that our bank needs to complete our mortgage application then hung up on her.

grrrrrrrrrrrreatttttt

Personally, I have never had a problem with FMIL, but I do know that she is a very aggressive and can be overbearing.... and mean...

So happy I am marrying into this family....... thank god Kevin makes up for it tenfold.

anyone else have in-law issues?

sorry to hear that! I understand what you are going through. Although my FMIL hasn't done anything as drastic as that (yet), she hasn't congratulated me or welcomed me into the family yet (been engaged since 12/19/10). The only way she might know what the ering looks like is if she's looked at it while i'm speaking to her ( no "hey, let me see the ring!"). She continues to speak spanish or italian to her mother while I'm in the room and in whole, just isn't interested in our wedding. Luckily my FI also makes up for his mother's lack on interest in my life and our wedding. Good luck with your FMIL and getting the house!

I don't even know my FMIL's phone number! Isn't that sad? My mom asked me how she should get ahold of her to plan the bridal shower and i almost burst into tears. I'm just not close with her at all. I would love to be, but she's just not that type of person. She keeps to herself, and isn't involved in the wedding planning at all. My FI says its because she had 5 boys and no girls, and therefore isn't into the typical "girl things" . Ohhh well, I guess I'll keep trying to include her and build a closer relationship.

Actually... up until recently, we had an awesome relationship... even over the past few months, it has still remained pretty good.... but she's distanced herself a bit (for some reasons I won't really spill here)... and things have just gradually gotten more tense.

This whole mortgage deal has really been an eye opener...

This sucks. I would learn spanish or italian just to spite them. I can't stand when people speak a foreign language amongst themselves and leave my American, English speaking self standing there feeling like a big dummy. Hate that. So rude.

Haha I say all the time that Im going to learn a little of every language so I can butt in on convos at the mall, getting my nails done, etc. I get so irritated when people speak foreign around me.

Um...I have fmil AND fsmil issues! Hoooly good god. FMIL is just a mix of everything. She has 4 sons (Josh being the only bio) and she can only like 1 of their wives/girlfriends at a time. No joke. And if you dont treat her like your bff she hates you again. I had a huge blow out with her one night (some of you may remember this) b/c she insists on staying close with Josh's psycho ex g/f. Even after psycho called Josh every Fri&Sat night at 3-4am hammered and cried b/c he left her then screamed b/c hes an a$$hole. Then shed go off about me being a "short, stubby, ulgy, hick b!tch with a huge forehead" Yeah, FMIL contiuned to update her on our lives and sent her pics of our nephews and UGH. I let loose on her a$$. Were ok now but she knows she needs to be my MIL and not my BFF

FSMIL...Josh met her dad 7ish yrs ago and has family that he still doesnt know hardly at all b/c theyre oot and shes being a royal b!tch about their invited to the wedding. Josh and I both have close family that isnt invited to the shower b/c theyre oot and FSMIL called me flipping b/c Josh has an aunt who didnt get a shower invited and "SHES HIS AUNT!" Ok...Ive never met her so I dont care. Call my mom and she'll tell you the same sh!t. Buh bye!

So yeah. I like my FILs. I really do. But some of them need to get to know me a little better before they start sht with me!

Your future in-laws sound like a real bundle of fun.
