My Mother-In-Law has been bugging us the past 3 days over a missing picture. She keeps these lil frames with wallet size pictures in them where my kids can reach them. She's been on our back to find one of the pictures calling 2x a day about it. I don't want my nephew's picture, no one took it it's just misplaced somewhere. I have 3 kids they do touch things and if you didn't want them playing with them keep them out of their reach. It's come to the point where she'll be like, Oh can you get the basket and pick up all these items and put them in the basket? WTH?!?!? If her house isn't kid safe why are we over? And stop calling! She left a message about it and I'm just like WTH... go away! She literally wants us to drive 45min to her house to find the picture! 
Then ya got my Aunt who's still pestering me about the basket made up for the kids. She calls daily to see how much candy is left? Did they eat this? Did they eat that? What did hubby think? And she bought a few slacks for my middle cause she's decided she can't wear jeans they bother her. SO again with the... Did L try them on? How did they fit? Color? Fabric? What a deal.... ect ect. Do you seriously have to call every day about it. But I guess it's a change from complaining about her jerk of a husband and how no one has walked in her shoes.... 
Frankly I'm glad it's getting warm out, then I have the excuse... "Oh I missed your call, I was outside with the kids" even if I was inside 
How bout you? Any pesky relatives? Please share how much furn they are with me so I don't feel so bad.

Sorry, my in-laws were wonderful and even though their son divorced me for someone else, they still accept me as family. They're great, I couldn't ask for better!
Sounds as if your aunt wants someone to say thank you more than once, she needs someone to tell her how great it is that she gave the pants. Your MIL sounds like a control freak, kind of, wanting to guilt you into coming over.
I like your attitude about the kids--if you don't want it touched, put it up. That's how my house was!

I fortunately was blessed with a fantastic, unannoying family. My husbands family however is pretty crazy. They're the kind of people that have advice on everything even if it doesn't make any sense at all, and they are all VERY opinionated. Luckly, I have a job where I have to work a lot of holiday's, so that's our out. We even considered going on vacation for Christmas so we would have a built in excuse for that one too. :)

I had ones like that I am divorced. so they do not bother me anymore. when I was married and his mother said something along the lines that I took a of a plastic flower. I just told her that I do not like any of her things it is too "old ladyish" I stood my ground and thought nothing of it. His sister than got blamed for it LOL. As for when I get a phone call about clothes for my kids( my mother does this) I tell her that my daughter wore it so much she out wore it. about candy do you have a dog or cat? next time the phone calls come in. say someone spilled milk all over and you had to throw it all out. LOL maybe childish, but it saves your sanity.

Sad thin is MIL has even called my sister-in-law (out of state) to complain about this picture.
Sad thing is my Aunt does more than my mom (who's in a nursing home) and my in-laws ever did for my kids. So I appreciate her efforts I don't need to pat her on the head daily over it ya know?
