Ranty McRanterson (or: My Psychotic Family-in-Law let me show you it)
So it seems like tonight is the night for ranting...
SO I KNEW FROM THE START THAT THE WOMAN WAS A RAVING LUNATIC:
ONE MONTH AFTER I MOVED IN WITH MY (NOW) HUSBAND SHE WAS ASKING HIS OLDER SISTER IF I WAS 'SHOWING' YET. SHE WAS THAT FUCKING CERTAIN THAT THE ONLY REASON WE WERE LIVING TOGETHER WAS BECAUSE I WAS PREGNANT.
THAT RIGHT THERE SHOULD HAVE TOLD ME TO RUN FAR AND FAST. BUT DID I? OBVIOUSLY NOT.
WHILE WE WERE ON VACATION IN MASSACHUSETTS SHE AND MY FATHER-IN-LAW BROKE INTO THE HOUSE (WE GAVE MY S-I-L A KEY TO CHECK IN ON THE CATS, BUT THAT DIDN'T MEAN THEY HAD ANY RIGHT TO USE IT) AND CLEANED (YEAH WTF?!?!?!?!?!?) SHE CLAIMED THE HOUSE WAS 'ATROCIOUS' AND THAT WE'D BETTER NOT LET IT GET LIKE THAT AGAIN IF WE INTEND TO RAISE CHILDREN IN IT. MIND YOU THERE WERE NO DIRTY DISHES PILED UP, THE BATHROOM WAS CLEAN, THE TRASH TAKEN OUT. HOW EXACTLY DOES THAT CONSTITUTE 'ATROCIOUS'? AND WHAT FUCKING RIGHT DOES THAT GIVE HER TO THREATEN TO CALL CPS ON US FOR KIDS WE DON'T EVEN FUCKING HAVE YET?
I MEAN JUST BECAUSE SHE GOT KNOCKED UP AT 16 AND HAD TO LEARN 'UNDER FIRE' HOW TO KEEP HOUSE DOESN'T MEAN THE REST OF THE FUCKING WORLD IS GOING TO MAKE THE SAME GOD-DAMNED MISTAKE. ESPECIALLY SEEING AS ALL OF HER KIDS ARE WELL OVER THE AGE OF 16 (HER OLDEST IS 37 AND HER YOUNGEST 22), AND I MYSELF AM 26. I THINK WE ALL KNOW BETTER THEN TO FUCK UP LIKE THAT.
THEN ACCORDING TO MY MOM (CAUSE APPARENTLY SHE AND MY M-I-L ARE FUCKING BFF'S NOW...) MY M-I-L IS UPSET BY THE FACT THAT I JUST CALL HER BY HER FIRST NAME (NOT PUTTING MISS IN FRONT OF IT OR WHAT EVER). WHEN SHE FUCKING TOLD ME SHE DIDN'T CARE WHAT I CALLED HER WHEN I ASKED HER SHORTLY AFTER I STARTED DATING HER SON. OH NO, IT'S ONLY AFTER WE'VE BEEN MARRIED 4 FUCKING YEARS THAT SHE TELLS MY MOTHER SHE'D RATHER I CALL HER SOMETHING DIFFERENT. I HONESTLY DON'T HAVE ENOUGH RESPECT FOR THE WOMAN (LONG STORY, ABOUT HOW SHE AND MY F-I-L RAISED MY HUBBY AND HIS SIBLINGS, FOR ANOTHER TIME) TO CALL HER ANYTHING OTHER THEN JUST HER FIRST NAME (I CERTAINLY DON'T EVER INTEND TO CALL HER MOM). I MIGHT CALL HER 'GRANDMA' WHEN I HAVE KIDS.
I SERIOUSLY HAD TO WALK OUT OF THE ROOM BEFORE I PUNCHED THE WOMAN IN THE FACE.
Thus ends my EPIC RANT. Sorry for the CapsLock abuse.
