MIL just called and left a message complaining of the heat..all she has is a fan and can't sleep, ect. AND????? We bought her an A/C last year, set it up and what did she do?? Gave it to her asswipe son who in turn SOLD IT for cash. This wasn't the first A/C we bought her and she gave away complaining it cost too much to keep. If she thinks we are going to buy her another one, she's nuts. We are not rich at all. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

op: because she's nuts. She does this all the time. We bought her new cookware and she didn't like it so gave it away. 2 a/c units that cost us like $500 each. Then she complains she's hot. I stopped feeling bad for her once she gave them away [ Reply | More

op: well my MIL is 80 yr old, sick and needs to be in a cool apt. I don't care when she puts it on but she needed it this weekend. She's a hard head and needs to deal with it. We can't afford to be buying a $500 a/c every yr so she could just give it away. I just called DH and told him what she said. He said no way in hell will she get another A/C from us [ Reply | More
