Treats him like a child

By: wecwatwer on 07/28/08 @ 3:19 pm

My husband’s mother has forever babied my husband. When I first met him and he was living in his sister’s house, I thought it was a little weird, but I knew he was close to his family. His mother also lived there. By the time that we were married, I had too late found out what was going on behind the scenes with their mother-son relationship. She was still making him breakfast and doing his laundry, even when I started living there. Last Thanksgiving we went to my parents for dinner, but she still saved him a meal that could have lasted for days! I called her and asked her if she thought that he didn’t have a good enough Thanksgiving dinner. She still makes him lunch all the time. I don’t know what to do. Just tonight also, I found out that she calls my husband two to three times everyday! I feel like I don’t even know my husband or his family anymore. My husband is very defensive about this. It might be because when he was younger some parts of family turned their backs to my husband and mother and sisters, so maybe that’s why their so close? I just feel that this is unnecessary. She’s too into our relationship. Early in our relationship, when my husband and I were having problems, she was reading Women and from Mars, Men are from Venus! How do I tell her and especially tell my husband for her to get a life of her own!

Holiday Outfit

Some background… My MIL has been cold to me from day one. I was the first girlfriend my husband introduced to the family in years and then I came along. My own mother passed away 5 months into the relationship and she never acknowledged it.It is 5 years later and she has still yet to treat me like anything more than a guest in her house. This past year I was pregnant with her first grandchild (my first child too) and she never called me once to ask how I was feeling even though it was a high risk pregnancy. A week before my little girl was born she finally invited me over for lunch just the two of us which was soooooo uncomfortable. Now with the baby is here she wants to come over all the time… She is super fake and her motives are simply to be with the baby. She finds ways to criticize me and uses sarcasm to embarrass me in front of the family whenever her son is not around. Too much to type!!
She took it upon herself to buy a 4th of july outfit.. I politely thanked her at the time. I put the outfit I wanted my daughter to wear after all, its my first child… and it was her first july 4th. When i showed up without the outfit on her, the entire family was rude to me and didnt speak to me at all. What can I do to to not allow her to bother me and hurt my marriage. My husband doesnt see what she is doing to me. Losing my mother was hard enough, but to inherit such a cold person who has always managed to make trouble in my marriage is sooooo hurtful to me.

Sick and Twisted

When my 12-year-old dog passed away, my mother-in-law said that she was happy. I asked her how she could be so cruel, and she said,” Now you know how it feels to have something you love taken away from you.” She was implying that she had lost her sone when I married him. How mental is that!!!
