Another MIL post 😆

I'm choosing to be on my phone instead of working out so I thought I'd vent because I can't talk to anyone else about this stuff!

My MIL was here all weekend.

She comes up to help, which a lot of the time she does, but I also end up cleaning up after her which drives me crazy!

So anyways while my son naps (which usually I would spend time being productive) we engage in lengthy conversations, during which she tells countless stories of all the good deeds she does on a regular basis. How customers at work can't pay certain bills so she'll take a few hundred dollars she usually spends on herself at xmas and gives it away to them. How she often brings her neighbors cookies, meals, etc. How she bought her sister a diamond ring she wanted as part of her wedding set but could never afford. How she volunteers at her church and can't understand why I wouldn't get my son baptized there. How she helps look after her niece's children when they are unable to.

Like I get it, you do nice things for others. But bragging about them often.. makes it less if a selfless good deed. Am I wrong??

She also rants about her (ex) other daughter in law who she works with and "supposedly" cheated on her son during their marriage. I sometimes think it's a bit outrageous to tell everyone this when you don't know what went on in their marriage. And it makes me think someday she will find something she doesn't like about me and rant about me to other people the same way she does about her other DIL.

Anyways, that was my weekend!
