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…

I’m getting married and my future Mother in law is obsessed with the wedding – she has decided to do all the jobs that need doing, wants to read at the service, and is bulldozing all our decisions. My fiance doesnt want to hear it when I complain about her and I don’t know how to tell her to back off without hurting her feelings. I know she loves her son so much, but so do I! She’s bought her wedding outfit and it is a long white dress – she’s also called herself ‘the bride’ on a few occasions by ‘mistake’. It is not only freaking me out, but it is REALLY annoying me and I don’t know what to do. I don’t want her to think I am nasty as I’ve always tried to be nice to her, but I also don’t want her stealing the thunder on…

Hi,
I need advice in how to deal with my situation. More than venting, I really want to know how I can respond to my MIL in a manipulative way that improves our relationship.

She constantly offers unsolicited advice and is “critical” of many things that I do.

Examples:

I made sun tea when she came to visit and she said WE shouldn’t drink it because workers pee in the fields and it needs to be boiled because people have died from sun tea infections.

When I shared the news of our 2nd miscarriage, she suggested I look at it as a late period so that I didn’t get so worked up about it, and then suggested I use my non-pregnant time to research how evil OBs are and how they practically kill your baby if it’s born in the hospital.

When we were engaged she announced that we owed her $10,000 for my husband’s college…

Well this is my first post/question…..I have been dealing with difficult circumstances surrounding my MIL for going on 4 years. I admit I am a human being and have done things Im sure have upset her. This all started when my now Hubby asked me to move in with him and his mom. I wasn’t sure about the idea I was living on my own, and we had recently adopted two dogs, which had turned out to be more than I could deal with on my own. We were going to start remodeling my house for us two and the dogs to live in. So he thought it best if I could go with the dogs and live with him and his mother. BIIIGGG mistake. She would get upset with me and drag him into another room, by herself, and let him have it. For example because I left a…

My boyfriend and I have been together a little over a year. I admit, we moved fast. I got pregnant early and our baby girl is now 6 months old. My boyfriends mother came to visit and she is staying for 3 weeks. I am so heartbroken, upset, angry, nervous, depressed… anything negative to name.. I’m it. I don’t mind his mother coming to visit and I’m not saying I hate her I just am having a very, very hard time dealing with this situation.

I will try my best to describe it. I really need help. I am at the point where I feel like leaving my relationship and I desperately need advice.

I take my son to school in the morning and its about a 20 min drive to get him there since we recently moved. The school year is about over so we decided not to transfer him until…

I’m so grateful to have found this website with so many women going through the same things I am. I’m getting married soon and both of my future in laws are not happy about it at all. To this day I’ve never heard a congratulations leave my FMIL’s lips to me or my fiance. Wedding planning is going on and we have a problem. My fiance has a younger brother who lives at home does drugs and works a minimum wage job and is flunking out of community college. My FMIL threw a huge fit when my fiance did not ask him to be a groomsman (we didn’t want him representing us in the wedding). I would rather him not be in it at all, but FMIL threw a fit to have him as an usher. She exclaimed he looks “hot” in a tux…can you say incest? My fiance and…

Typically, my friends’ parents love me, so when my boyfriends mom seemed the slightest bit interested in me, it hurt, and I wasn’t sure how to handle it. My boyfriend and I have been dating since our junior year in high school, and we are so in love. But I’m not used to the awkwardness of having to deal with a mother that would rather I not exist.

He treats me like an angel and is rarely home, which makes her jealous because he always wants to be with me, rather than her. On top of that, the summer before our senior year, she kicked him out. Not by any fault of his own, but because she was angry and told him not to come back. So he didn’t. My step dad took him in and he lived with me for 8 weeks during the toughest time of his life. They…
