Wally disconnected his phone because he couldn't stand the 10-15 calls A DAY from his mom. She starts at 7:00 in the morning and doesn't stop till early evening. Now some may think "What's the big deal?" But when NOT ONE of those calls are to say "How are you doing?" or "What have the kids been up to lately?" No, it's always about some idea or something she has going on with her. I can't think of the last call where she said something like... "I was just thinking about you and wanted to say hi", we get.... "I need your camera so I can take pictures for Craigslist." or "I guess Richard was thinking of us because I am finding more and more coins and pieces of metal that is worth some money". I guess it would be way too far fetched that maybe, just MAYBE he collected those things because it brought him a little bit of peace, it was something he could do in his alone time???? Then of course we are terrible people when we don't understand her, or we ignore her calls.
Today I had a wonderful day planned to spend with my mom and sister and the brood of kids we have and what do I get... in a span of 5 hours there were 7 calls from Jean. Of those calls she left a message 3 times for me to call her because it was important. Important to me would be someone dying or a major family crisis, but to Jean it is "I need a Wally hug". Then when we don't call her, she shows up on our doorstep and starts talking, not thinking we are enjoying some quiet time.
But just when I am sitting in my pjs, trying to relax, thinking I survived a day, she comes to me and says she wants to ride to WORK with me tomorrow so she can shop while I work and then ride home so she isn't wasting her gas. So now, not only do I have to listen to her bad mouth my husband, show favoritism with my kids, try and sympathtic towards her situation, I also get to take her to work with me and bring her home so she can save gas????????? Can she try and needle in my life anymore? Work was my safe haven, and now she wants to impede on that so she can buy some Christmas gifts and save gas. I can just imagine what those conversations on the way home will be like....

A Little Bit of History
Before going on this journey of keeping a "diary" of the woman that makes my life a living hell, I guess I should include a little bit of history, so when little things are bothering me about her, it will be more understandable.
Jean is probably the most self centered and self serving woman I know. Before my husband even proposed to me she said that she would make my life a living hell because that is what her mother in law did to her. (I am starting to think she deserved it all though). I had seen how she treated my husband's ex-girlfriend when it came to overstepping her boundries in the parenting of his daughter.
She feels that she is always right and the rest of us is wrong, but she will take it to the extreme of taking us to court just to prove she is right, and when it blows up in her face, the case is dropped before fines and be imposed.
She has:
1) Taken my oldest out of school early without telling anyone and we had to go looking for her in a panic.
2) Made it known that MY daughter was written out of the will because she doesn't recognize that fact that my husband adopted her and she won't allow her to have anything from her.
3) Constantly trys to take my younger daughter to McDonald's without wanting to take the rest of the kids.
4)Sued us for using our inheritance early to pay off our house. She says that it wasn't meant for that, even though she and her husband (God Rest His Soul) had to release the check, it was my husband and his brothers that put alot of the money into the trust fund the money came out of.
5) Likes to cry "I'm Poor" or "You made me Broke" but has the money to do WHATEVER she wants and then remind us that we are crap.
6) Will call us to work on her cars, or ask us advice then go somewhere else to fix it and tell us that we were wrong. But still ask us for advice. Like she knows it will get under my husband's skin.
7) When we lost Rich (her husband) she has been absolutely LOOPY (and that is a medical term) ha ha ha
8) She has written my husband and his brother out of the will but will keep the son that does NOTHING for her in, wrote her ex daughter in law in. It isn't that we won't get anything but it is the fact that you can be so cold hearted and a bitch that you could actually exclude your children.
9) Has told my husband that his feelings over the loss of his father doesn't matter (her EXACT words) because he wasn't a lifelong partner.
10) Will call the cops when she can't get ahold of us
We finally learned our lesson after 8 years and changed our numbers and now just get surprise visits.
