It’s been almost 13 years of pure hell with my mother in law (B). I can’t do this anymore. I can’t take the belittling and snide comments from her any more. I know a lot of it is petty crap like….what do YOU need a kitchen aid for? Or her asking my kids or friends if my house is clean. She had the nerve to tell my son that in their house they cook food not go to drive thru. The first Christmas we were together, we did a name drawing with his family and she told the person that got me that I don’t know how to cook and to get me a cookbook so that I can learn to not go though drive thru. She tells the family that I’m from the city so I’m not interested in going camping or getting dirty. Last Christmas I asked B…

This is my last attempt to try and fix something that may never have a clear cut solution. I love my (newly) fiance and I don’t want to leave him, but I feel like I am slowly dying. Here is my story:

Before you read my story please keep in mind 2 important things 1) his parents live 6 houses down from us-therefore our home is a revolving door 2) his business is based from home too, so I have to deal with his employee/secretary – which happens to be his cousin

For the first few weeks of our relationship I didn’t have a problem with my fiance’s mother. It was only after she saw all the little things I did for him and how well I took care of him that things began to change. When I was going to school she used to race me home, start mopping the floor,…

Wedding Day MIL Stories16 Comments

Let me first start off by saying that my husband is an ONLY child, I have this theory that women who only have only one child a (boy) are bound to be the worst kind of MILS there is & heres why, first off they ONLY have ONE child & second they know they HAVE TO eventually share their ONLY baby with another women someday and when that day comes WATCH OUT it becomes a power struggle! I have been dating my husband for 6 yrs and we just got married about 2 mths ago in September, unfortunately we had CARDS stolen on our wedding day with over 1,500 in them. My family is welthy and his family is not. My parents paid for the whole wedding and it was about $210 a plate. I was brought up that when you go to a wedding , function, birthday party, or…

What am I going to do!?!??! Since My husband and I got married, (Oct. of 07) we have been living with my MIL dad. He is elderly and incase something happens, we are there and we can help. BUT we are NOT the only ones there. my MIL comes over all the time unannounced!. My husband and I have NO privacy. It was going ok for the 1st half of the year. BUT now its getting worse. My MIL does not work, she only volunteers at this school where her nephew goes to school at. She comes over at 6:30am to take him to school…School dosent start until 9AM!! she supposedly comes over that early to help out with her father. She sits in the chair and falls asleep, but when she comes in, in the morning she goes to her fathers door to his room which is just down…

I’m so glad I found this web site. I am so stressed out from everything that’s been happening in my life. I now have my mother in law living in our new home and I’m ready to move out and get away from her. I want her to move out so bad but my husband can’t bring himself to ask her to leave. I don’t want to have bad feelings because we used to get along great. Now, I just can’t stand her. I don’t want to have bad feelings about her and I feel it would help our relationship for everyone if we were separated by a few miles. I can’t take it when she tells me what a bad mother I was to my kids. She makes indirect comments about how I take care of my house. I’m not a perfect person, and I may be a little…

Breaking Ties with MIL

I have been married for 5 1/2 years to a wonderful man. We have 1 son and I have a daughter from a previous marriage. My husband was very close to his parents growing up, runs a family owned business with his dad, is their favorite son, and they dislike me! My MIL and I used to get along and over the past several years things have turned ugly. So much stress and tension from her was entering our marriage that I finally said ENOUGH! I told them that I wanted nothing to do with any of their negative comments and that I was tired of them creeping into my marriage. She is so overbearing and demanding. Her expectations are so old school it’s not even funny. She sees my son once a week, calls to talk to him, buys him gifts all the time, and does none of this…

I see my mother in law EVERY DAY! my husband and I live with her father who is elderly and if just in case something should happen, My husband and I are there to help. He is 84 but VERY independent, he can still drive and still has his “Marbles” about him. But my MIL thinks that she can come over unannounced every day, to “Help” out. I am at my wits end. I get up for work at 6:30am …she is there at the house already! I can come home from work on my lunch break and she is there AGAIN! She says that she gets there that early in the morning to pick up her nephew that she takes to school. SCHOOL DOSENT START UNTIL 9:00AM!! I feel everytime I am being watched while I am getting ready for work!
I mentioned I needed to go out one night…
