I get along with the Inlaws, but I CANNOT stand them. It takes all I can to keep the peace.

Just one example of the most recent thing...both MIL's (been blessed with two ) were insisting on helping with my baby shower. One totally insisted and said she'd bring ALL of the drinks and muffins for 40 people to my baby shower. She insisted that she'd come the night before and help out. Well, not only did she not show up the night before, she was an hour and a half late AND she brought 1 gallon of OJ for 40 people. So the whole baby shower was delayed for an hour and a half waiting for her. The food was all cold by the time she got there. Her excuse was "Sorry I am late, you know me..."

She'd also done that to us at our reception. She volunteered to have a wedding reception for us and I was all for it. Lots of people pitched in. She was responsible for several dishes and she was in charge of the whole deal, so obviously she was supposed to be there waaaaay early. She showed up 3 hours late and everyone (about 100 people) were waiting that whole time to eat.
