My MIL - the drama queen

"Making a mountain out of a molehill," that's one thing my MIL does really really well. She's like a child in so many ways, but especially in this way. Like when our son first started walking, she was convinced he needed leg braces because he walked funny... HELLO?? All babies walk funny, like drunken little Frankensteins.

Anyway, my husband decided to have out-patient hip surgery to alleviate chronic back pain. He decided not to tell his mom till after the surgery, because she can be so dramatic and she wouldn't jinx it. Unfortunately, I screwed up on the timing and leaked it onto our family blog the day after surgery because my husband said he was going to tell his parents that day. I posted, she read it, and the following email exchange ensued:

MIL - Hope your back surgery went well. We hope you are feeling better. How sad for all of us that we had to hear about on a blog. We wish we could be closer to you.

Husband - No need for guilt and drama I did not tell anyone did not want to jinx it. Have a fantastic trip! Also you never called me back? (My husband left her a message to tell her). You should call someone after they have surgery.

MIL: what a dick.

Husband: LOL

MIL: not really "lol". it is sad to me that honest feelings are viewed as "drama and guilt". i am soooo tired of the stress of trying to talk to you and be close to you.

Husband: Haha more drama and guilt, just makes me want to pick up the phone.

Classic! My husband is the greatest!
