The mother of all Christmas horrors

MOST people have one annoying mother-in-law to deal with at Christmas.

- 

I have TWO.Not only is my husband's birth mother a pain but his stepmother is a tricky customer too.

At this time of year, I have both of them on my case vying for attention and they do my head in. My husband can do no wrong in their eyes. They're fiercely jealous of each other and treat me with utter contempt.

His mum still hasn't forgiven her ex-husband (my bloke’s dad) for leaving her and won't move on. The stepmother is arrogant and self-centred.

She boasts she “doesn’t suffer fools gladly’ which means she is rude, insensitive and demanding. Every time she comes here she causes a scene.

She and my “other mother-in-law” totally ignore each other, which creates an ongoing frosty atmosphere.
