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

drbckflps tells us more.

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.

Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

That's horrible:( I'm sorry for your loss!

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.

sounds like you need to bereave your foot up her ass

Why is everyone referring to this person (and other people) as "OP"?

OP= original poster, I think.

Wow, I think this is the worst FML I've ever read. Very sorry for your loss and for your MIL.

that's awful! I lost my son also. I'm so very sorry for your loss.

Personally I would have lost it. Stay strong OP

You step mom is a ******* bitch your son dies ( her grandson) and she only cares so she can sit on her fat ass tell her to shut the **** up and I'm sorry but I don't care if she's a woman you/or friend or wife should of beat the **** out of her for acting like that

practice saying "Never. Speak. To. Me. Again"
