Hello mylotters!! Hope every one is doing well. Have you ever done something for so long and either don't get appreciated or you've just had enough, like it's time to move on? Well, my husband is struggling with this at work. This summer, they hired some one extra at work. He just got his license, so he couldn't drive any equipment, he wasn't even actually suppose to use their industrial mowers, but he did. That was all he was pretty much hired to do and he didn't do a very good job of it either. He was only there for a little over a month. So, my hubby did what he usually does as well as doing what they hired the kid for. My hubby has been there 4 years and makes less than a dollar more the new kid did. The boss, makes $20+ but he doesn't do much manual work and he doesn't work on any equipment. The only thing my husband doesn't do is the paperwork, you have to have a degree to do paperwork!! Anyway lately he is always complaining and what's to find a new job!! I'm at the point where I agree with him!! I get tired of his complaining!! I, too have had enough!! Saw the people that the mother-in-law scammed out of paying off the trike/motorcycle she got from them. She traded it to her daughter for a suv (something she said she would never have because they're too high up for her to get in.) Apparently, she is spreading more lies about the hubby and I. She would have made a good politician, she lies and plays the "poor, poor..pity me." So, she's telling every one how before we got the land divided up, how we never helped her,etc. So, I will do this for her, I won't help her with her mowing, the hubby and I won't help her get wood, etc. I, personally tired of being her slave and then she tells people how we don't help her. Well, when we stop helping/enabling her, then when she tells people we don't help her, she will actually be telling the truth!! ~Peace~

Oh, I pray for her as well, but doesn't mean I have to put up with her lies. Besides all the lies she has spread, people are figuring out she has a problem. As I've written in a lot of my posts I have had tried to be nice and help her and have struggled the helping others, etc But all we are doing is enabling her and causing drama in our lives. It won't go away, because she is our neighbor, but I can distance myself from her negative behavior.

I hope your hubby can find a new job that not only pays better but that he likes. Sorry that your MIL is ruining your peaceful existence.

Hopefully he will be able to finish up the season. He will be able to get unemployment and maybe he will look around for some other work. I like him being home at nights, but he has been a truck driver most of his life. Sometimes he gets the rambling fever.

I have never seen a mother-in-law be such an albatross to their daughter-in-law.

Yes sometimes its time to find another job, my friends daughter was climbing higher in the company and they hired younger people, when she got hurt they offered her a nice package to not come back, she took it. Why did they hire younger? They can pay them less, and over time that is better than the people who had been there 20 years. Your mother in law is the type that gives all mother in laws a bad name. I actually liked mine, just not her son after a few years of his laziness. .

Yes, "this" mother in law does give the caring, loving mother in laws a bad name. The sad part is that we did get along

I see peace at the end of your discussion and it does not seem that you are getting much either. I am sorry to hear all this Jodee. I hope and wish for peace for you too. Life is unfair.
