MIL And Computers
SIL sells MIL her old computer which doesn't work and never had internet capability (no modem) contrary to SIL's statement that you could get online with it they just never hooked it up. MIL wants to use it to surf the internet and email so she ask Dragon to fix it. Fixing it involves him buying a modem for it, and a new operating program for it as SIL has screwed up the old one and no longer has the disk to re-install it. He also buys some more memory for it. In total he spends around $500 fixing it up, all he gets for his trouble is "what took you so long to fix it".
We decide to upgrade our computer (Dragon uses computers a lot in his job, so having a new computer is almost mandatory). We give my parents our old computer for Christmas, so they can email me. As soon as MIL finds out she starts screaming that "she wanted it" (Uh, why she already has a computer around the same age and after Dragon "fixed" it in better shape?). After MIL calls my parents several times and accuses them of "stealing her computer" and "taking advantage of Dragon", they buy a new computer for themselves and give the old computer back to us to give to MIL. IS SHE HAPPY??????
No, my parents have a new computer (which they bought with their own money) so MIL needs a new computer and Dragon should buy it for her. She calls him constantly a month before her birthday asking for a "new computer", those old ones she has are just too slow.
Dragon starts to feel like he should buy her a computer, after all she is his Mother. We fight constantly - IF he has spare CASH, then there are things we NEED, if he doesn't we don't have the money to buy MIL a computer. We don't buy the computer, MIL and SO buy themselves a new computer. Which of course Dragon has to set up, and supply the accessories for.
And they wonder why I don't like them?????

Thats just fucking retarded. MIL is a spoiled brat. No wonder SIL acts the same way......she learned it from her.
Of course, MIL, i'd bet, has no cross words for her DAUGHTER who sells her a faulty computer with no modem......
People like that are SO ungrateful. You see it all the time elsewhere. Dragon did all that hard work and all he got was more complaints....he should have just stopped and told her to do it herself or get SIL to do it since she's the one who screwed it up.
Of course the icing on the cake was MIl buying a new one.....and doesnt reimbuirse him for the fixing of the old one, and accessories for the new one.
Does he ever learn? That they will milk him for anything and everything?
You know, being manipulative is wrong which is what your MIL is. So your a woman, you can be manipulative as well, so do it! Withhold sex. Threaten to leave. If he has plans to go see them, wake up early and remove the distributor cap from the cars and hide them!!! Hide the cell phone and turn the ringer off!
Maybe it is evil and wrong but damn they are evil and wrong!!!!
OMG! After reading that, I'm kind of happy about my inlaws. I can't believe that. I wouldn't have put up with it!
And I thought my inlaws were horrible.
