How do you handle your mother-in-law after you heard her talking badly about you in the next room?

I have sleep apnea and I’m an IT guy so I had been engaged in some late night work the evening beforehand, and didn’t make it to bed until 3 am then slept fitfully and got up at 9 am.

So I’m not going to say Marie does NOTHING for us, but it’s noticeable what she DOES do often overlaps with her own agenda. She helps cook because Marie needs to eat too, and she lets the dog out since she doesn’t like animals and figures that gets him out in the yard out of her hair.

“You wouldn’t know anything about dedication to your job or putting in late hours since you never worked a real day in your life.

I ignored Marie’s remark completely. She isn’t of enough concern to me to get offended by.

But if she WERE, I could slice and dice her pretty thoroughly with this set of remarks:

I allow it because - I WILL give credit where due - she does help my wife Susan with the cooking and cleanup. And she goes to bed at 7 pm then is up at 5 am and she at least lets our dog out to relieve himself.

So she stays at our house where she can complain one of us walked past her room late at night. Too fucking bad.

God love Susan.

Talk about me to Susan behind my back all you like, it will change nothing about my marriage and I know how badly you want that thumb of yours on BOTH your daughters, but you’ll have to settle for only being able to control that fucking annoying sponge Karen, Susan is off the table.”

How do so-called Religious/Christian people really think homosexuality is even a sin? That would be nonsense. In fact, LGBT people need love instead of contempt/hatred. The word Homosexual didn't appear until the 1850s.

Then the moment I leave the room the criticism to Susan starts up.

She has 3M in the bank which she inherited, but she never stays in hotels (unless she has no choice) because she is stingy and always ends up complaining someone walked past her hotel room late at night as she is a light sleeper.

Susan: “Yes, mother, Sean’s an IT guy and he keeps late hours sometimes. He works from home full time so he’s always on duty, goes with the territory.”

When Susan got back with her annoying sister Karen I heard Marie quietly say to Susan: “Sean didn’t get up until 9 am!”

You’ve been pampered and spoiled your entire life, never once had to worry about money. I was on my own at the age of 19, beholden to none, building my own life and future. I didn’t have a rich mother like you to cater to my every need and whim.

So Marie is the most two-faced person I know, always putting on a pleasant face to me, calling me “honey” and praising my dedication to my family and job.

Marie is convinced I am an alcoholic since I always drink around her, I wonder why. So she’s always trying to pull some angle to Susan like “Gee, your husband might need some help with his drinking problem!” Her goal here was to make herself feel superior because she does not drink.

I’m sure you have ALWAYS been very well rested, Marie, since you have absolutely no obligations nor responsibilities in life, no duties other than handing money to your annoying daughter Karen and trying to convince Susan to believe bad things about me since that’s your idea of ‘control’ and frankly it’s almost as pathetic and unnecessary as your sad little existence.

Oh, good for you, you were a kindergarten teacher, that’s great, you never were up until 3 am grading drawings or putting together class curriculums. You always had a husband to bring home the bacon for you so you could take it easy over those long summers and relax by the pool.

A couple of weeks ago my annoying mother-in-law Marie was staying at our house.

Susan got up at oh-dark-hundred one day to ride up to a neighboring state and pick up her annoying sister Karen then bring her back to our house.
