I read these horror stories about these mil who are just so obnoxious, controlling, manipulative, selfish, and petty. it just pisses me off. where do these mil get off being so self-righteous? I seriously can’t believe what I’ve read. I feel sorry for all these DIL trying to be good wives and mothers and the mil just hate them. which brings me to my story. my mil lives next door, but I never see her. I’ve only been married for 5 years, but each year has gotten progressively worse between me and her. it really started getting bad after my daughter was born about 3 years ago. she is just off the charts. I just let it off on her one day and things will never be the same again. to me, if she don’t like me that’s fine, but when she starts making comments that will affect my daughter, that’s where it stops. I never met anyone like her before in my life, and I thought how could someone be this dumb. unfortunately, many women have to put up with mil just like her. it’s really sad. is it just me or is life too short to be acting like them? I just stay away from her, and she never cared about my daughter (her only grandchild) so there’s really no loss to anyone. good luck ladies

One Response to “Pathetic excuse for a mil”
It does make me mad. I am so mad some nights I do not sleep or eat. They are obnoxious, controlling, manipulative, selfish, and petty. Why is it so much work wanting them to be a part of our lives. Part of cookies and milk and every thing NICE they should be for their grandkids. No one has told them no. That is one reason they act the way they do. When they are told no and when the DIL stands on firm ground they are upset. Thinking “no one will tell me what to do”
MIL DO NOT THINK…..”That is their home. I do not want to interfere. My son is making a life of his own. I should respect what dicisions they make in their household. It is not my place to point fingers. I should think of the kids and not put them in the middle. It is not about money or presents it is about respecting their home. They should make their own decisions. I will trust they will do a great job provided for my grandkids”
MIL THINK I WANT CONTROL
The problem is that they think because their son lives their they have the right to say what they want and no aftermath. You should listen to them. They are right. You are wrong. Like you know nothing. They still want a part of it but only on their terms. We want them to be part of our lives for the kids. If we did not care it would be so easy. “Ok Bye Have A Nice Day”. I feel my problem is that I do care. MILs do not understand how easy it would be to be more involved with our families if they can lighten up some. It is not the end of the world if they are told no or do not get their way. They will still be invited for dinner, a play, softball games, soccer games and family gatherings. But no they have to have a melt down because it is not what they or the way they want it………………..Sorry bad day…..Feel better now………
