So I was thinking about some of the little things in my background and DH's background today. We certainly had a very different upbringing. A lot of the stuff his family does, well I mostly think "who does that?" Some of it is unbelievably weird to me that it is amusing, others....
I posted that we are cut off from the in laws. Well, neither DH or I have yet to receive an apology or condolences. After rounds of conversation last month DH had with MIL over her antics and getting no where, he stopped talking to her. Still no apology, zip, nada, nothing. So by chance she got to talk to him through a sneak attack (that's another story) and do you think it might be an apology or asking about how we've been or anything remotely compassionate? Nope, she wants to know when she can celebrate Valentines Day with us. DH says no, she whines on she has all the presents already. DH says no, it goes on and on...she ends that she will give presents to him at his work and he can decide whether to give to me or not.
Are you kidding me? Who does that? My parents quit with V day when I was a kid. And all we got was some trinket. MIL gives us piles of V Day stuff and wants to celebrate with us. Every year.
She also wants to celebrate our anniversary with us. I've never heard of people doing that, my parents anniversaries were theirs. They threw their own parties on milestone anniversaries but otherwise, that's it. They celebrate on their own. But every year the in laws try to celebrate with us, we decline. Then right as we are getting down to having our romantic evening, guess who's calling to wish us happy anniversary? And talk and talk and talk. Don't most people leave others alone on their anniversary?
Oh, and lest not forget that she tried to come on our honeymoon with us. And then FIL called the whole time lol. Must make presence known.
So, you guys got any Who does that???
