Monster In Laws

I have started this blog to help me and anyone else out there cope with their Monster In Laws if they are unlucky enough to have some. If anything just posting the things they do to us will help us to vent all the things we have had to endure.
I have to say that my husband has been the best husband and has done everything right by always defending me. Let me tell you a little background so you can get a better handle of who we are and where we come from. I grew up in Chattanooga TN and my husband grew up about an hour and a half from me in a rural country town where we live today. We met while attending college in another city.
It all started when my soon to be in laws decided they wanted to meet my Dad. My parents divorced when I was 18 so I only have a relationship with my Dad and brother. They invited him to their home for lunch one Sunday afternoon. I was so nervous, because I knew our parents were from two different worlds. Just as soon as we sat down to eat, my soon to be father in law asked my Dad to tell them a little about himself. I was amazed that they were going to let him talk since they seemed to always do all the talking. I learned early on that if I wanted to say anything I had to interrupt. My Dad told them that he attended UTC in Chattanooga and worked as a Computer Analyst. My soon to be father in law looked at him and said, "I am an electrician and I've done pretty well as a working man, (as if what my Dad did was not work). I think he didn't like it that my Dad had gone to college and he didn't. My Dad just agreed with him and let the comment pass. The next thing out of my soon to be in laws mouth was, " I hope you know that we will not be associating with you after the marriage." I saw the look on my Dad's face and was not sure what he was going to say. When he asked why, he was told that he did not think it wise to become friends since the marriage may not work out and he didn't want to take sides......WHAT? I did not know what to say or do at that point and that should have been a sign to me what I was in for. Of course I love my husband and thank God everyday that he is not like his parents. This is the first story of my Monster In Laws, stay posted and I'll be laying it all out there. Please feel free to share any horror stories you may have. This is just the beginning of mine and it really gets much worse. Until next time, Dawn
