Mother-in-Law HELL

I have posted on her before about my FSIL. She is pregnant and I wasnt expecting to be invited to the baby shower, only because she hasnt said anything to me what so ever since she go pregnant. Then all of a sudden, I came home the other week and on the bench was a invite to her baby shower. At first, I thought someone was playing a joke and being mean, making me feel bad, cause people have done it to me before. So I asked my bf to mention it to his brother who is her husband, and he said that “yes she is invited.” So when I found out it was real I was surprised. Then my partner comes and says that she is suprised that I am coming to the baby shower….Well everyone in his family have found out a few weeks ago that I have…

I am in a very bad situation. I had a baby 3 weeks ago, and my MIL decided to come and stay with us (to help out, supposedly). She booked the airline ticket and informed us she was staying for 5 weeks! She arrived when my son was only a week old. She is an insanely clean person, I would actually say obsessive, and the first week she was here she didn’t stop cleaning. I, on the other hand, was exhausted. She helped out with my toddler who isn’t even 2, as well. Unbeknownst to me she was keeping tabs on me the whole week, and I guess decided that I was lazy and good for nothing. It didn’t matter that I had JUST had a baby. Needless to say we got into a fight…nothing too crazy, but I was feeling very frustrated, angry , and hurt. Later the same…

So my boyfriend and I have been dating for 2 1/2 years, and are beginning to look at rings, and all that jazz. I have always wanted to be close with his family… He is an only child, so I tried to make it my mission at first to be BFF with his mom.. His dad is a sweetheart, as are his aunts, cousins, etc. His mom is very cold, and also kind of obsessed with BF in a sick way.

She calls him ALL the time. She asks about everything from her printer, computer, refrigerator, sink, spoon, etc. I think she makes things up to talk to him. I try to rationalize it that she feels she is losing him- but then she does things to really hurt my feelings. She tells her hubby if BF doesn’t respond to her calls ASAP or emails or texts and FFIL gets on…

When I met my FH, he mom was serving over in Iraq. We have been together 6 years.. His mother cannot stand me and has made it very clear!.. She invites his ex gf (they broke up 8 years ago) to everything. One Christmas, his mother stopped me and said that the ex would be attending Christmas dinner with them, but she would make sure to call me first so it wouldn’t be weird for me! The ex and I never got along but we always tolerated each other to keep the peace. THEN, he had a terrible accident and was in the hospital for over 2 weeks. His mom actually invited the ex gf to the hospital and had me escorted out of the room so the ex could spend time with him! I was outside crying when his mom came out and told me that I need to…

OMG girls I need help. I have been happily married for 3 years, we have a beautiful 8 month old daughter. I have always gotten along with my MIL (she actually is very nice) but in the last 3 or so months she calls me for everything. When I say everything, I mean EVERYTHING. She can’t work a computer, she calls me. She cant fill out a document at the DMV she calls me, she can’t figure out what toilet paper to buy she calls me. It’s INSANE. I am a stay at home mom, and all you mom’s out there know it’s not a cake walk.

Today alone she has called me 16 times, texted me 9 times and just will not take a hint. The women these days can’t even go to the bathroom without her hand being held. It’s driving me insane. I tell her that I am…

My husband, son and I are estranged from my husband’s parents because of his step-mother. They are also estranged , and have been for many years, from my husband’s older brother and family-yet they continue to send birthday and Christmas gifts to their children. I am assuming this will happen with our son. I’d rather my son not know that he has grandparents on that side of the family because of the treatment they have given him and me during my husband’s last deployment. I feel they don’t deserve my son’s love. What do I do at Christmas and birthdays if/when they send gifts to my son? Giving them to charity sounds like a good option … or am I being too harsh?
