Mother-in-Law HELL

Hi everyone

Ok, so I am not a daughter in law yet nor do I have a mother in law from hell…yet. I have certainly however, entered into this world and experiencing little by little what it means to meet the mother of your significant other. I have just found out the mother of by BF has had a long standing grudge against me for something that happened between myself and my BF’s sister which myself and the said sister have already worked out and are now good friends.

I am no longer hurt or angry at this revelation in any way however I do feel unfairly judged. By reading all these stories posted here, I know many of you have gone through worse and were unfairly judged too. While I don’t know you I really hope you can keep your head up through these tough times, protect your heart, your sanity…

Sorry, this is a tad long.

My boyfriend and I have been dating for more than a year and a half now. We’re both in college and attend the same university. I’m 18, he’s 19. We’re also from the same town and high school. I’m his first girlfriend.

When I first met his mother, she seemed nice enough. She was friendly and invited me over for dinner relatively often. Soon, things turned slightly sour as she enforced “family time” in her house. My boyfriend was to have at least 4 dinners at home per week and spend “quality family time” with her, his father, and his brother at her discretion. His father and younger brother are both laid-back and try to avoid getting involved in her battles with him. They had several family functions over the course of the summer, several of which my BF was allowed to invite friends to, just…

I had just recently came back from spending two days with my in laws…without the husband. We went to my nieces birthday party which is 3 hours from where we live and just about the whole entire party time, my mil was making rude comments about a couple of the kids parents, saying that they “only think of themselves and not the children”. Reason behind these comments was because the kids made a remark stating their parents “never had them do fun crafts at their parties” like my sil does for her girls. It then continued the next day with her sister after church about driving arrangements. We had taking two cars one my sil’s and the other my fil’s and my mil made arrangements that me & her would ride to church in one car with one of the girls and coming back she would drive my fil’s car…

Almost everything my MIL does annoys me. Some of the things she does don’t look that bad to others, but knowing her true character, I find almost everything she does/says offensive. I believe she intends to come off this way to me. She’s a true weirdo with too much time on her hands to meddle in our lives and it’s making me sick.

For a while we lived with them, while closing on our home and she did all kinds of annoying crap. She would make lunches for my daughter and set them in the fridge, like I wasn’t capable of it. She would eavesdrop on our conversations, meddle in our business, hit up my husband for random amounts of cash-behind my back-even though we paid them a monthly amount of money to live there. She never asked me if it was ok to borrow money from US. Seemed really disrespectful.

She…

This isn’t really a rant–it’s more of a small victory to encourage all you other ladies.

My DH’s grandmother (the evil one) is on facebook. She actually has facebook spies (his aunt and uncle) who she expects to tattle when they see something she might find interesting on facebook. Anything these two know, they are expected to share, including non-FB information, such as my brain disability (which doesn’t keep me from work or anything, but does require some understanding from those closest to me when my brian decides not to work correctly).

She actually noticed that we had both unfriended her. When she asked us what happened, we told her that we were sick of her using FB to stalk us and that we had un-friended everyone in the family including the aunt and uncle.

Her response? “I still expect to see wedding pictures even if I’m not your Facebook friend. I am…

My In-law’s celebrated their 50th anniversary a few weeks ago. Family came from all around to attend. It seemed like it might be fun but as usual it was a nightmare for me and my kid’s. Three times during the 3 days of celebration my husband and I walked in on dinner party’s at my in-law’s that we were not invited to.The sad part is that we live across the street from them. Funny how your SIL’s and MIL can have a dinner party with your aunt’s & cousins and not invite their son (My Husband) just rude. Recently I was gone helping my Mom while she was recovering from a broken leg. I was gone 45 days. During that 45 day’s the in-laws invited my husband to lunch and dinner 6 times hummmmmm. Maybe it is because I wasn’t home and that makes it easier for them. As for…
