Mother-in-Law HELL

Ever since my husband and I announced that our first child is on the way, my MIL has gone from being a sneaky, undercover bitch to being outride rude and unbearable. As my hubby has always been her fave child (and is the youngest), she is acting like a jealous, slighted lover now that he can’t drop everything to come to her beck and call as he did before I was pregnant. In retaliation, she no longer speaks to me, and recently WALKED AROUND MY OUTSTRETCHED ARMS as I stood to greet her and her pathetic still-lives-at home daughter in the middle of a public event hosted by my husband! She has not had the decency to even call and ask how I’m doing or really congratulate us on the pregnancy at all……she’s made a very smooth and quick transition form passive aggressive to just plain aggressive.

I shouldn’t be very…

PLEASE HELP ME. I was all set to marry my future DH, I’ll call him DH for now, but no longer. The reason is his mother. She lives down the road, has to control everything or gets upset and basically tries to rule our lives. I and him had our first baby, so she is one of our baby’s grandmothers. She is the only grandparent living nearby.

I live in this town surrounded by DH’s family. FMIL wrote me a email telling me his only family is her and her other children. Basically that DH loyalty belongs to her, not me and my baby. She has disrespected me from the point of pregnancy onwards through the birth of my baby, she made comments how she would like to breastfeed baby herself, she tried to feed baby with no teeth a hard choking hazard food when I was not present, then proceeded…

Me and my partner of 3 years have a 4 month old baby.
His mother now lives round the corner from us, she moved back to the area when our baby was 1 month old so ’she can be closer to us’ but she has seen our baby no more than 6 times in total.
My family live 60 miles away but I speak to them all the time. Regarding Xmas it was decided that I would go stay at my mums over all the holiday period and my partner drove up on his days off to stay with us (he does 4 on 4 off).
He was working Xmas day so was not with us. His mother called round to see him for 5 mins and give him a present. But there was nothing for me or our baby. I’m not too bothered that she left me out as I get enough…

I don’t know where even to begin with this woman…I have been married for 5 years now..and she has made my life hell from day 1..
When she found out i was pregnant she asked me to abort the baby..she told me stories about my husbands ex wife ( who lost the baby because of her )
she pretended to be my friend ( and all the insults she told me where ”just her concern”) only to gain my trust ( abusing the fact i had no friends and left everything just to be with her son in other city ) so she could find out everything about me and abuse it later expanding it with such sick lies and telling them to our mutual friends…
She suffers from depression ( she takes zoloft ) and from time to time makes horrible nervous break down scenes ( but she knows what she is…

I just discovered MILHell and I am SOO excited to be a newly minted MILHell DIL!!

My MIL… ARGH… where do I begin? There’s soo much that I need to vent about and get advice on but I’m gonna focus on the most pressing issue right now.

When I gave birth to my baby, I made MIL a grandma for the first time. Currently, my baby is her only grandchild as well. From the moment my baby was born, MIL has been super obsessed with him so she’s always casting a critical eye on my parenting skills.

She and I are both Chinese but I was born in Canada and she holds strongly to many of the “Old World” Chinese ways. As a result, we often clash in our approaches to parenting my little guy.

MIL was a true MIL from hell during the first month or two after I gave birth. She annoyed…

When my husband and I got back from our honeymoon, we found out that I was pregnant with our first child. Excited, we called our close friends and family on the phone but decided to wait to tell his parents in person. They are very personable and sociable people, and we hadn’t seen them since the wedding so we thought this would be a good idea.

One day we went over to their house for dinner with presents in hand. Expecting to see souvenirs gifts from our honeymoon, they instead found cute “Grandma” and “Grandpa” keepsake items from Hallmark. My FIL was excited to hear the news. My MIL on the other hand was so upset that we didn’t “tell her first”, that “everyone else in the family knew except for her” and that “nobody” in the family had “told her that we were expecting”.

I strived to brush off her complaining…

Sooo, I have quite a situation going on. My fiance and I live about 900km away from both of our families, it is hard at times, but it works for us. We are both fairly close with both our families, and relationships between all of us are good overall. My mother in law is actually quite a lovely woman, she is caring and sensitive, and has always welcomed me into her family. However, she has a mental illness that causes a lot of tension. Everyone around her treats her like fine china. You cannot say or do anything that may upset her. She stays in bed until noon most days, and does not go out much. I am not insensitive to her illness or needs, but I am starting to resent her helpless behavior. My own mother is a strong, kick ass woman who would never allow herself to behave…
