Mother-in-Law HELL

Ok, So my husband and I went to school together, ruffly 7 years of being friends. I had a few years of hell with an ex but had a beautiful baby in the meantime, then He stepped in and picked up the pieces of my heart and saved us. I dated him for a year and he proposed on my birthday, so sweet I know! And then I met his rents which were very kind at the time…at that time I was in college and handle’n a new baby, had No idea what I was in for. I had heard from his other family members that the MIL was a complete Nutt and to watch my back…well I gave her the benefit of a doubt. Until the engagement party came into view, she didnt want to help, but wanted to attend. I had a bridal shower at a friends new…

My MIL told not to marry her son the first week we got engaged. I know now that that was red flag#1. I guess that was her way of saying your not the one missy. I was 18 and my husband was 28 when we met so not sure if that was what upset her, because I was an adorable lovable 18 year old. Needless to say that was the beginning of a horrible relationship with MIL. She decided that the girls in my wedding party should wear pink, hats and very high heals., she dictated many other aspects of the wedding which was a disaster. Right to the very end when my husband and I were left at the end of the reception without a car and had to hitch a ride with MIL and FIL. But the real kicker (and a whole other story) was we had to…

Wedding Day-
I’ll just give the basic overview. It will be twelve years ago next month, but her antics from that day are still fresh in everyone’s mind.

1. Threw a fit when she found out that he son couldn’t walk her down the aisle because he was the groom and would be at the front with with the rabbi, waiting for his bride. She then had a crying fit on the side and sent other daughter-in-law to come talk to me about it and said  that she extremely upset…could my future hubby walk her down the aisle…I firmly said, NO…it is our day…not her day. More tears for the rest of the day, but I held my ground.
2. Maybe because she was ticked off or because she has no tact whatsoever…Right before my mom was about to walk down the aisle my MIL said to my mother, “Ohh, who did your perm? When when mom said the name of the salon, my MIL told…

My DH and I have had trouble with his alcoholic, crazy, abusive parents since we first met, and they disapproved violently when we got engaged. Our wedding was 2 months ago, and guess what .. it was the most perfect, special day … and d’you know what went so right about it? We didn’t tell the in-laws about it, or invite them, or involve them in it at all … we’ve cut them out of our lives completely, and have never been happier

I have a very tumultuous relationship with my now husbands family. We got married last weekend. So to give everyone the rundown or background .

Got engaged a year ago

Found out I was pregnant- we both decided not to tell anyone because his family was upset with the engagement ( not supportive I had to hear his sister tell people I didn’t know he was getting engaged etc etc) ( We dated for 1.5 years and knew each other for 9), and since it was a surprise I wanted all the time to do everything how I wanted and have no one in our business.

In- laws – thought they should have been in the loop since the pee stick phase. Yeah right!!!! They were pissed. We were called Liars and morally incompatent. Nice how things change when you bring a beautiful healthy baby girl into the world

Our beautiful perfectly healthy baby…

The day of my wedding was the best day of my life. Although my MIL did her part to make it ‘memorable’ so to speak.

I’m sure if I hadn’t had six years of practice with the pseudo insane woman it may have been a very bad day. As much as some of her antics hurt and upset me, having a wonderful husband makes it not that bad. I had prepared myself for a lot, but I think my husband hadn’t. Despite his knowledge of his mother and her behaviour, i think in his heart of hearts he believed that because he was her only son, and he had spoken to her about her ‘antics’…she would put them on hold for one day. Sadly that wish of his didnt’ come true.

The tension first started with her arrival to the venue (we got married in the same place as the reception). My…
