Purpose of This Blog:


In this Blog, I describe what Deceased MIL from Hell, JB was like, and the rest of the family, other than my hubbie like. My hope is to get out why the two of us did not like each other.

In my other, "Free of JB", linked from the menu, I describe my emotions and other things having to do with her death and after.

JB was "White Trash". You can see this from my second to last posting about the things that I plan to post in the future.

Most of the family is also white trash. Hubbie somehow got out of there. He broke the family tradition of dropping out of school. He completed high school and went on to get other education and get a decent job. This was done over his family's objection. But then when he started earning a decent living, they saw it as him 'raking in the dough'. JB and JB's also deceased husband spent the 25 years that followed trying to get their cut of that dough that as his parents, they were entitled to.

"Star Cookies"

It was Christmas time and I had boxed up some homemade rolled Christmas sugar cookies for my sister's kids. For some reason, hubbie brought a couple into the house and gave them to the ILs.

The ones that he brought in happened to have been cut out as stars.

JB was going to a party and she had to bring something to. She said "DIL, make some of those 'star cookies' for me to bring."

No, I didn't have recipe with me, they were too much trouble, I don't cook in other people's kitchens, the dough needs to refrigerate.... Any other reasons in addition to the one in my head, "We don't like each other so why should I do that for you?"

Funny how something like that is fun to make for the right audience, but a chore for the wrong one.

I don't know that I could have done it if I had wanted to... but since I didn't want to, the rest did not matter.
