Today, my mother-in-law asked for a copy of my son's death certificate so she could have her week-long island beach holiday classed as bereavement leave. FML

I haven't read all the comments yet but thank you for your condolences. This is indeed the grandmother of my son and no, she didn't take the holiday as a way of grieving - it was purely opportunistic. She wasn't even polite to us at the funeral: her words to me were, "In six months when I get back you'll have forgotten this whole thing ever happened." Very disappointing. Thank you all again. I'll reply again when I get a chance to read some more comments.

Everyone can grieve differently, but that just seems a bit heartless and opportunistic. I'm sorry for your loss OP, I can't imagine how that feels.

Having lost a child myself, the first thing that popped into my head was OMG! How mean and sad of MIL. I am so sorry for your loss.

I don't know that I've ever hated anyone so much. And that's saying something.

I don't understand how an FML like this can still get YDI's

Some people want the YDI badge. If you're scrolling through on your iPhone your finger might slip and click it. It's happened to me so I click FML to try to make up for it. I wish you could undo your clicks.

Sounds like she is narcissist... If this kinda behavior is common to her, I'd suggest staying the heck away from her or trying to get help, that's NOT okay!

Tell her to ask her son/daughter instead of you. It'd be interesting to see if she would do that as well.

Holy shit, OP. That's brutal. My condolences on your loss. Your mother-in-law should be grateful you haven't produced a death certificate for /her/ yet.
