Mother-in-Law HELL

My fiancee’s mother will not acknowledge me. I am never invited to family events and he always goes without me. He has never been married, paid off her house and is basically her handyman. She has never worked a day in her life and criticizes me for my job (pr) and having children. If I appear in the media she always has a negative comment. She does not even know me. We have not spoken for more than 20 minutes ever. When my fiance tried to get her to go to lunch with me she said no because she needed time to get used to me. The last time we tried to go to lunch was 8 months ago. I do not live with my fiance nor do I require his financial assistance. I have raised all my children on my own without any assistance. I pay my own bills…

So my MIL and I have “faked” I would say getting along. There has been a trust issue for me for the past 5 years. My husband is on my side and understands how I feel about her. But the problem is, it’s not only her, she plays nice to your face and I know talks shit behind my back. She gets other members of her family involved and they leave nasty messages or comments about me.

It got horrible when I had our first baby who was a preemie. Thank God the baby made it fine but there was so much drama while the baby was in the hospital we pretty much stopped talking to them for the most part.

Now the baby is older and my MIL wants to babysit, I don’t trust her, I wouldn’t trust her with my dog. She is very controlling and thinks the way she…

When I met my fiance, his mother was living with him. He explained that his mother has mental health issues and is on medications but as long as she is on her meds she is fine. If he had not told me about her mental health issues I would not have known. She can live by herself and she is self sufficient. Money is not an issue. She just chooses to live with him. He has other siblings that do nothing for her. However, they are not short on advice for what HE should do. It is their belief that my fiance should be solely responsible for THEIR mother and jump at their beck and call.

I inquired when we first started dating what his long term plans were for his mother and he told me that if he were ever to get married that his mother living with him was…

My husband and I just bought a new house. This is supposed to be one of those unforgettable moments in your life, where everything is bliss for the first couple of months. Boy is that not the case. My mil started by wanting to help. So I let her do the shelf paper (hate that job) and remove some wall paper. She asked for a key so she could “work”. Well, every night she thinks she needs to be over cleaning and “helping.” I finally told her yesterday that we wanted our key back and we could take it from here. Not only did she say she was NOT going to give the key back, but she told my best friend at church a few things. She told her she can’t wait for me to get out of the house so she can “Run Circles Around Me”, and “Clean What…

My 82 yr old mother in law moved in with my husband and I 8 months ago( feels like a century) . I am having a hard time with visitors constantly in and out of my house. The lastest situation made my head spin: I was sick and my brother in law called spoke to my husband about coming for a visit my husband told him I was very sick but my brother in law, his daughter and her husband still came over for a visit. Am I right to be mad? My mother in law has her own living space in our home but visitors still have to come through our front door to see her. I know she needs to see people but where are the boundaries? Any advice would be helpful. I feel I have no privacy anymore. HELP!!!!!!!

wow thank God I found this site
Well I’m 21 and I’ve been married for 2 1/2 years when I first got married
My husband and I had an AMAZING marriage, we were best friends, we never fought and never really had any problems with anything…. at that time i thought my inlaws were the most amazing inlaws anyone could ever have! (they lived 4 hours south of us) Then however in Feb. of 2008 my husband and I were let go from the church we were working at because of tight finances at the church, my husband was in the middle of getting his masters degree so we had no choice but to move 4 hours south and move in with his parents…. and so began the downward spiral!!!

My family is very relaxed, always supportive and encouraging and loving no matter what… and at the time I thought his parents were…

I have a 6 month old daughter who is very good and is on a good schedule. My MIL has to see her ALL the time. If they are going out for the weekend, they have to see her b4 they go. She always tells me what to do and wants her on a different schedule. She always has to feed her and change her and put her to sleep when she doesn’t need to sleep. She will get a baby spoon and put it in my daughter’s mouth and say Oh Mommy she’s hungry! ANd of course, my daughter will start getting fussy even if it is not time. My daughter knows when it is time to eat and will wait till the right time. But of course if she sees a spoon or bottle she will want it. THey are very wealthy so they constantly buy her things.…
