my mother in law is a very nice lady. she's the kind of person that is almost too nice...to the point where she drives me nuts!
I used to feel kind of guilty for finding her so annoying. when she is around she feels she must talk to you, literally, every second, of every moment about something, anything. she is such a rambler, that most of the time i have tuned her out after the first few moments of her speaking.
she thinks she is the only person who has ever though of any idea, she thinks the almond bark she makes (with walnuts!) was invented by her & that it is so difficult that only she can make it. when we go home to visit (3 hours away) she calls every 20 minutes to find out where we are. She drives me nuts, 99% of the time. If she doesn't call it's my father in law calling. I could go on & on.
Like, i said, i used to feel guilty, until i found out that she drives DH nuts too! Then i did not feel bad & you should not feel bad either!
DH & i have said the same thing to each other, when we have kids, is this the way we will be with them? will we drive them nuts? probably! but one thing is for sure...i will always make my almond bark with...almonds!
I have to be with her everyday, all day....I can't go anywhere alone and to top it off, she has Celiac disease and I have to cook around that! She's been quite needy so this experience has made me say I won't do this to my daughters when they're older (unless I forget by then
)!
