Question: Dinner with MIL...would rather pluck out my eyelashes one by one?
A couple of months ago, my fiance's mom helped him to get a car on the road, after he screwed up his credit years ago. She was angry with me because I refused to cosign a loan for him ( I am putting myself through school and I have financed everything else we needed in my name...I wasn't about to take out a second auto loan) She made some comments about how I am "profiting" from him, and basically made me out to be a golddigger, even though I pay 50% of our household bills, as well as my own car payment and insurance, cell bill, and credit cards without his help. She even demanded to see our budget. I was furious and haven't seen or spoken to her since.
Now, his grandparents are here from Canada and are staying with his mother. He wants to go over for dinner and a visit tonight, but I am really not ready to see his mom. I know that if she brings money up I WILL explode.
Should I try to weasel out of dinner?
Answer: No, I think you should swallow your pride and go to dinner. If the devil's spawn should try to make another issue, you should calmly explain that you are not profiting from anyone because you pay your share of the bills and are putting yourself through school. If your fiance didn't have a problem with you not co-signing a loan for him, she should just shut her pie hole and mind her own business.
