Ladies…My only conclusion is my MIL is Satan. I am married to the nicest, sweetest man. His Mommy Dearest is the most overbearing, toxic, gossipy person I have ever met. I believe her mission is to destroy my relationship and marriage. It all starts sometime around the wedding,doesn’t it? With a strong no nonsense upbringing and a solid belief in who I am - I was not going to tolerate anyone’s “mommy” to interfere with my life - let alone my wedding. It was not easy but I established my boundaries early with her. And yet she still crossed over them many, many times. It has been a stressful, hurtful journey. The In Laws prefer a Soap Opera existence. There is always sooooo much drama and trauma…even if there is not my crazy MIL creates it. My hubby and I prefer to keep our life quiet and peaceful. At first we would tolerate the insensitive and rude remarks made at family dinners, the intrusions on our lives, the nasty gossip MIL would spread about me.The nasty things they would do, the favoritism she played with her sons, the unimaginable mind games….Then we made a decision that has saved our marriage. NO MORE - No more. We have spent the last 18 months with little to no contact with any of them. We do not see them on the Holidays - They are not welcome in my home - We do not attend any social functions where they will be - we limited all communication to a bare minimum. They know NOTHING about what we do - or don’t do. No Communication from me in 18 months. My hubby does “chat” with them on occasion - but it is guarded and limited. It has been the only solution we have found to work for us. After years of constant BS and fighting caused by them in my marriage - My sweet hubby and I live our lives without his family involved in it and it is wonderful.
I could literally write about on the first five years and it would be published as a true horror story. My MIL is a malicious, mean, selfish, crazy, baitch. From giving us an “IOU” in a card for Christmas one year to telling everyone one what a horrible B**ch I am - My MIL is the worst - the absolute text book version of a bad MIL!
This year ladies- create peace in your life…..dump the in Laws and have a good quiet existence.

I find this website so liberating! =) Finally a place where I can share just how wacked out my MIL is. Ok, here is another story about my MIL. First off she is a very orderly, cold type person. She rarely hugs her kids and just has this very stern coldness about her. She acts like she is high class but really she is very insecure. She is a straight up snob. She is also very impressed with people that have money. You could be the biggest ***hole alive but if you got a really nice house, car and clothes, your a winner in her eyes.

When I was about to get married, the Parish Priest warned me about my mother in law to be. He said she was a very stern woman and the family had a lot of difficulties. I assured him I loved my fiance and that was enough.

So when I first started dating my husband he lived with his mom. When I would come over, his mom would talk non stop about his ex’s. Then she would question me about our sex life asking things like how big his penis was, is he violent during sex etc… Then one day I NICELY told her I didn’t feel comfortable talking about our sex life and asked her to please stop giving gossip about her other kids and there personal problems cause it makes me feel weird around them. OMIGOD! She flipped the hell out and told me to leave and (she is a huge woman almost 400lbs). She got out her seat with a butcher knife and chased me out the door. Her 4 year old lil girl saw the whole thing. I called the police and cps because she scared the living crap out of me. Anyway, to this day I have to watch what I say because we are cool one minute and then the next she’s trying to kill me. BTW I just had her first grandson on the 3rd and she keeps petting me and saying I love you in a very condescending way and tell my son your my one and only and I love you like I’m your mommy FREEEEEAAAAAAKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! god save me!

I believe that my MIL takes the cake. It started out 18 years ago before my wedding. She made up some awful story about having cancer. She told her son and asked if he would keep it a secret. Obviously he told me and we finally got the truth later on…I still don’t know if she’s aware that I know her awful lie. A couple of months after we were married, she comes over to help out when my husband came home from surgery. Being grateful for her help, I thanked her. She tries to put me in my place by telling me that he’s still her son even though I married him. Over the years, she has had one pity party after another. When my kids were little, I would let her babysit them so that my husband and I could spend time together. She would play this “not hearing the phone ring” game. Well, after doing this one too many times, I sent my furious neighbor over to check on the kids. Imagine her suprise when the neighbor stood outside of the door and rang our number with her cell. Then, my MIL answered the door, without ever answering her phone. My neighbor tells me that she could hear the phone and my MIL stood there and denied ever hearing it. For years, she would make up little lies, and little stories to make everyone in the family look down on me. After winding up in the hospital with a smoking related illness, I told the doctor that she was a smoker. She had been denying this to the dr. as well as other family members. Needless to say, we don’t speak now because I tried to help her.

My hubby and I have been together for 6 yrs and have 3 children. Our oldest we lost at birth. We were young and didn’t have enough money for a funeral. So my MIL told us to put cans outside a local store and get it that way. They were capable of giving some money but wouldn’t Every one else did except for her.

My husband has fibromyalgia and is in a lot of pain. His mother has had some similar issues. When on the phone she would ask how he is doing so he would tell her a little bit about what was going on with him. One time when MIL and I were alone she said that she was tired of my husband telling her all about his problems and that she thought he was being a big baby and that he needed to get over it! She also said that she didn’t know why he was telling her about his pain! Well I pointed out to her that she had similar issues and that if anyone could understand it would be her and that she asked him! I let my husband know what she said and he says fine if she asks how he’s doing. This is only one of many cruel thing that she has said. Oh, so many more to write.

In 1995 my husband and I had been married for two years and his parents were going on vacation and wanted us to house-sit. We went over the instructions for the house, pets, etc. and my MIL said “don’t sleep on the waterbed, I just put clean sheets on it.” Thinking that my MIL thought that my hygiene wasn’t good, my feelings were hurt and my clueless husband claimed he didn’t hear her say anything of the sort. However, after hearing my blubbering for an hour, he calls her and asked her why she say such a thing. My MIL replied, “Well to tell you the truth, Robin is fat, and I was afraid she would cause the waterbed to burst.”

When my husband and I first met, we fell for one another. Four months later, I found out I was pregnant. Well, the first thing she said was “How in the hell could you be so stupid”? The second thing she said to me was, ”My son is not ready to be a father so why don’t you have an abortion and just forget about him!” And of course I was furious. Then she said “If you want to keep him (the baby), I’m not going to raise him,and my son has no responsibility to you”. When my husband found out what she had said, he agreed with her.

The day I met her, when she looked me up and down, turned her head and neglected to say hello, I should have known I was in for a long haul. Since then she has tried her best to keep her son to herself. From the stories of all of the ex-girlfriends that were “like part of the family” to the lies she has created in her mind and tried convincing my husband and his family are true. After nearly taring apart my relationship after our first born, I have tried for years to be the bigger person out of respect for my husband and our daughter, but I don’t think I have the stregnth any longer.

Firstly I would love to say a big thank you to this site, as I now have somewhere to rant with out the danger of my friends and family turning on my MIL!!!! They’ve heard so much about her it has got to the point where i have to keep my stories quite to avoid a HUGE argument ……which is more than likely what the MIL wants.

My mother-in-law told me I should put my dogs to sleep because they are too much of a financial burden on my husband.
I wonder if I can suggest to my FIL to put her to sleep for being a mental burden on me? LOL!

When my husband and I went away for our honeymoon, my mother-in-law let herself into our apartment to do a little redecorating. Her ultimate interior designer moment was when she changed out our double bed for twin beds and put them in seperate rooms!
When my husband and I go to my mother-in-law’s parties, this is how she would introduce us. ” This is my son Andy and his wife(long pause, um, pause) Cynthia. This is his wife Cynthia.” I have been married to her son for ten years yet she still seems to blank out on my name.
