They (the crazies) are all the same, truly all the same.

The freaking dogs. My ILs had a dog child and we were constantly berated for not loving it enough, not being concerned about its health, not petting it enough and so on. And yes, not getting the dog presents.

They (the ILs) bought a special camper/van with a generator attached to the back so they could take the dog with them where ever they went. MIL would order the dog its own meal at a restaurant and take it out to the camper.

Of course the dog's GI system was completely out of wack from the Bob Evans diet and it would shit all over the inside of the camper. FIL would call up in a state of distress about the dog being sick, my husband would say "quit f*cking feeding it mashed and gravy" FIL would then fly into a rage and accuse him of being jealous of the dog.

Towards the end of the relationship, they stopped coming to our house because our cat would beat the crap out of the dog. It was spectacular. Who says you can't train cats.

Bravo! Bra-frickin-vo!

Is there a group for people like us or is that why God invented rum?

I just learned that my mother is not allowed to wash my father's pants. We have no idea why.

Plane is still grounded...

One more then I will stop - My MIL restricted FIL to using only one particular bathroom in their huge mental institution of a house. (they had at least 5 full baths) He was only allowed to use the basement bathroom, in the house his money paid for. No idea why.

dogs at home under the care of a neighbor.

Bathroom story...wow. My father banished himself to the guest bath because he didn't like the decorating of it. Now he's an interior decorator...with dirty pants

OK, here is a question.

We have dogs, no children. Every holiday we spend a fortune on the 10 kids that all of our siblings have but they never give anything to our dogs. Should I be mad?

It depends.

Are you mean, bat-shit crazy? Wearing dirty pants? Restricted (by self or spouse) to a designated bathroom? Fed your dogs bad chain restaurant meals as their only source of food? Have thoughts that run to ladders on a moments notice?

Answering yes to any of the above? You may get mad when people shaft your dogs in the present department.

(for the record, I have purchased presents for my cats as well as filled out gift tags stating To:Daddy From: Al and Cleo and I am not mean-crazy)
