You sure can tell when the holidays are approaching......
MIL starts her sh!t around this time every flippin year. So far, she has been emailing this week saying that she was so sad because she at least expected a phone call. We responded and asked her what she was talking about and she replied that she wouldh ave thought that her "youngest son would have at least called for her birthday". Ok, theres a couple things wrong with this. First, her birthday was in August. It is 2 days after my dads so we always make sure we (or at least Jason
) send her a card the same time we send his. And I know that Jason did call her from work on her bday. I asked him about it that night and he told me that he had already done it (since he knew that I would not be heartbroken not having to talk to her 
).
Second, she does this crap every year before Thanksgiving. She LOOKS for things to b!tch about. Next, she will complain that we are not coming up there for Thanksgiving. That one is not a major, major deal though. It is just her workingu p to Christmas. We have told her that we spend Christmas at HOME because it is too hard to take everything somewhere else for the girls. She will go off the deep end when we have to remind her of this.
And, she seems to always take a stressful situation we are in (the company buyout) and make it even worse. That was what prompted all of this. Jason emailed her the article and her responses were, Wahhhh, you did not call me in August. Oh, but good luck getting another job. Where do you think you will live?
That woman!!! I KNEW there was a reason I did not remove my quote after the last pleasant visit.

She is a "me" person. It always has to be about her. I am sorry Jen.
What an idiot! It is laughable that she whines about her bday 3mo later though! 
That's pathetic.
! At least you remembered her birthday.
