Yes, I am quite sure this blog, will come back to haunt me when I am famous and everyone all across the world are reading every word I have ever written as if it is sweet nectar from the gods.
But I have had it.
When I am being told that when I was your age I was just quiet and did what I was told, something snaps.
Guess what mommy dearest?
This is not 1950
I drink
I have tattoos and plan to get more
I don’t care what you think
I feel sorry for you
I drink coffee and tea (take that mormon jesus)
I married your daughter and I would do it again everyday
Your cruel words and actions only hurt you
The world does not revolve around you
Yes, I did unfriend you on facebook
I swear because its fun
No I will never let you babysit, so stop asking
I do not like cake
Your special mormon underwear freaks me out
It is not ok to spend 90% of your time talking trash about your children
I am not young enough to think you will one day change, because you will not. And for your sake that makes me very sorry. Your cruelty only keeps loved ones from you. What a lonely life that must be.
But you will not take me down with you. I am going to continue to pretend I do not hear you and go on with my wonderful life. Because guess what, my life is pretty fucking spectacular.
… special… mormon… underwear? But seriously, un-friending your mother-in-law, that takes guts!
I have a guts made of steel my friend.
Good for you! Sorry that she’s so awful to be around though :/ It would be so nice if she could be involved in your life – but definitely her loss!
Such is life.
Wow! Sorry that this woman can’t recognize love, even when its right in her face. It’s just very sad. Don’t let her toxic negativity turn you into something you’re not.
Good advice.
“I married your daughter and I would do it again everyday”…this is ultra cute…
im inspired…if i could like this post one more time would have done it but WP allows just one like…
Awe thanks!
Good to take a stand “at your age” because I did not and have spent 30 years not feeling good enough. We truly do have to teach others how to treat us so I applaud you!
There are times for compromise, and times to stand tall.
Bonnie,
I love that you spoke truth to power here, but not submitting to your mother-in-law. I hope you will have a wonderful holiday full of joy and love. Try playing some Vanessa Williams, that always gets me in the spirit.
I hope you have a wonderful holiday as well.
Awesome. Sorry I’m not in the market for a monster-in-law
Dang, I was counting on you to take her off my hands.
I had one of those… no special underwear, but she did keep trying to convert me to Catholic because being Episcopal wasn’t good enough for her boy… I actually sold them both and now Christmas is much more fun!
Have a wonderful holiday season with your honey (ignore the Monster-in-law and smirk about how upset she is that you just don’t care about what she thinks)!
Thanks!
Reblogged this on myvisualrevolution's Blog and commented:
Love it
Thanks for the reblog!
That last line was awesome. I’d love to be your MIL. Mine is pretty amazing so you can borrow her sometime if you like
I will take you up on that !
This post makes me worried, very worried. Your mother in law sounds much like my mother! My poor… poor… future husband!
Oh your poor husband indeed.
I told my mother in law that my house is your house…….so she sold it.
ha ha!
Yes it is.
Oh the battle has just begun my friend. No body puts baby in a corner.
