Mother-in-Law HELL

So currently I am living away from my husband in another state and he is in another finishing up his enlistment with a year left to go, we made this decision for our kids to get into a routine and a more stable environment close to friends and family. Also I am going back to school in our home town so I will be lined up with a job before he is out. Its hard but him being in the Navy they will be gone 80% of next year.

My in laws have recently resorted to talking crap about my family and my friends. I found out because word does get around eventually and I wouldn’t put it past them cause they are HUGE gossipers. I live with my small two sons and my best friends who are boyfriend/girlfriend because financially it works for us to save up money and they…

I moved in to my mother in law’s house (she’s divorced) about 3 years ago. Since then we have gotten into many fights over things like seeing her ex-in laws (which are my husband’s uncles and aunts), inviting people she doesn’t approve of into my living space, and sharing the house chores with her, her 17 year old daughter, and me. I go to work full time and so does my mother in law. However, my sister in law does not but she refuses do to anything around the house (including her own laundry).

Recently, my mother in law has been acting more cool around me (pretty much ignoring me) but her daughter is now acting up to the point of calling me a b***** in front of my husband.

I recently got into a fight my sister in law and told my husband that I wasn’t staying with them any more.…

My in laws have made our entire engagement miserable. They are constantly critical of everything that my fiance and I have done for our wedding. No matter what we’ve done. It wasn’t done right, or it wasn’t done good enough. (Basically, it wasn’t done THEIR way.) My fiance has been supportive of our relationship, however, this has even begun to take a toll on him. Recently the in laws asked us to their house because they needed to discuss things over dinner. We got to their house, they asked us to sit at their table and they began “scolding” us. They told us that we’ve been disrespectful by missing family functions (we’ve missed a few-but only because we are SHARING them with my family too), they feel disrespected that my fiance and I are making financial decisions and decisions about the wedding without consulting them. We don’t feel that our…

My in-laws swear that my husband and I are not married! I understand we are young but we have been on our own since we left home for college! His parents act like we need them. Yes, it’s nice to know the help is there, but let us be our own family! Has anybody else had this problem? How did you deal with it? They baby him too damn much and I can’t stand it! Please help!

I’ve been with my high school sweetheart for 7 years. I’ve always had a strained relationship with his parents (especially FFIL). FMIL is manipulative and backstabbing and FFIL is the rudest, most crass man I have ever met. In the 7 years we’ve been together I have been critized by them for everything including my intended major (doubling in physics and mechanical engineering, real stupid, I know). They are also very critical of my fiance (FH). For a short while he was working for a plumber and really liked it, and was trying to get an apprenticeship. His parents were constantly trying to talk him out of it, but as soon as they needed plumbing work of any kind they were nothing but sugar and spice to get him to fix it.

I originally started going to college to be a high school science teacher, but after a year realized engineering…

We have been together for 2 years and living together for 1.5 years. His mother decided to just recently tell the rest of the family about us living together which caused A LOT of disapproval since they are very religious.

A comment was made to my boyfriend about how MIL was talking to another family member and said something about we need to hurry up and get married because us living together not married is wrong.

What I cannot understand is that his sister got pregnant at a young age, gave the baby away and she has the nerve to talk to US about how “evil” or “sinful” our situation is. Is that not the pot calling the kettle black?

I am a very open and friendly person but I am having a hard time with chewing this one. Other comments or suggestions that have been rude I have let roll off my…
