I feel so evil that I'm happy about this, and I'm trying to be the bigger person but Oh. My. God. Finally!!! Muwahahahaha

So. About 3 months ago, my husband and I moved in with his family. His family is really tight knit, and they just are more comfortable living in the same home than separately. So around the same time we moved in, so did his brother and his wife, as well as his other 2 single brothers.

Well, the other daughter in law is the favorite, by far, and his mother has let me know it repeatedly. She would constantly tell me how I'm not as good of a wife as her, and how I need to be more like her, etc. (Lets get real. I wake up at 3 AM to make my husband breakfast and lunch. She can't pull herself out of bed at 11 AM. Her husband makes his own or goes hungry. I've helped my husband pay off his credit cards and we're looking at new cars to buy. She has gotten hers $10,000 in debt, and on TOP of that just got a brand new car WAY out of their price range, so that's not going away any time soon. She has 2 phones for no reason, and one she keeps hidden away from even her husband. The list goes on. I have yet to figure out how awesome of a wife she is.) And not only was I hearing it from my mother in law, I was hearing it from her!

But anyways. I've been sick and tired of being put down while she gets praised, and I've been tired of her gloating and treating me like a child. but it looks like the tables have turned. She's finally gone too far.

Her husband was getting onto her for spending too much money and how she doesn't need 2 phones(gee, who should have guessed?) And she threw a fit and locked him out of their room and was yelling so loud that the whole house could hear their argument.

His mom finally got involved because they were being disruptive, and I heard the words I've been waiting to hear: "I can't believe you. You're so childish and immature. I was more worried about AJ (my husband) having to deal with tantrums when he married a 19 year old, but she's so much more respectful and mature than you are at almost 30 years old!"

And ever since then, no more bullying, no more name calling, no more putting me down, nothing. They've all become much nicer to me. Meanwhile, she and her husband are still fighting, and I'm pretty sure everyone is waiting for them to fall apart. Turns out the "perfect wife" isn't so perfect, and now they're realizing I'm not so bad after all.

I call that a sweet victory ?
