Mother-in-Law HELL

I’m 5 days past my due date and my future MIL isn’t making these already stressful days any easier. My boyfriend is leaving for training in less than a month so we’ve been living in between both our parents houses. Mainly, I live at home because my boyfriend and I have gotten into so many fights around his mother! Recently, she has been on vacation and has been “bored”. She has decided to start to clean our room to “prepare for the baby.” Preparing as in cleaning a bookcase? Rearranging our picture frames? She has been told before to stop before but this time her response was, “I’m not touching your stuff.” I’m literally losing my mind as is and now I’m so frustrated I don’t know what to do. My boyfriend, of course, sees nothing wrong with this and tells me she only trying to help. I get she…

I am not really sure that I can cram all that I have to say in one post so I will tell you the worst. I am at my wits end with the woman I dont know what to do. I have been with my partner for 9 years and it was pretty bad but never quite this bad. His parents are quite well off and I am .. well ..poor but we fell in love any way . They tried just about every thing to seperate us but then I had a baby.
I went on a date with my partner for the first time in 3 years, we went to a movie and arranged for the MIL to look after my daughter. She came to collect my baby girl at 11:30 am and I explained all her meal times and set out all the bottles and I even put…

So happy to have found this site to VENT! I have been married to my amazing husband for 3 yrs now and have been with him for about 6. I have always known that his family is a little different but since we have had our boy it has gotten really bad!! My little guy is almost 20 months old now and I thought by now the actions and advice from my mil would fade away…not the case. Even since I got pregnant the advice has been non stop…when our lil guy was first born his nights and days were screwed up, well this had to be changed right away god forbid, once I had him on a schedule she had problems with that…if it was close to nap time she would say…oh I don’t want to touch him in case I screw up the scehdule.. this would be very…

I am at my wit’s end! My blood boils when I think of what this woman has done, I really just need to spill my guts, and hopefully someone can help!

*I gave birth to my DD in November, Nana’s first grandchild. She complained and complained that we didn’t want anyone there for the labour and birth. (We live about 8 hours away from his family and mine) Truth was, I would have given anything for my Mom to be there, but I never would have heard the end about the “unfairness” of -that-

*My fiance and I really wanted to have alone time after the birth to spend time together with our new child and really bond. Guess what. Old bag only waited three days before showing up at our door, with FIL and SIL too. They were staying at another relatives, and were supposed to leave after a few days.…

I seen posts of smothering MIL’s but not many of aloof, weirdo, freakish ones… so here’s my story…

I got along okay with my MIL, until the birth of my baby girl (I’ll call her DD). Basically Mil is a socially awkward, loner type and it is often difficult to make conservation with her. She’s also very awkward in her mannerisms. She lives about 45 minutes away from us and we maybe saw each other once a month. I was perfectly fine with that situation.

Before DD was born, my mom offered to help babysit for a while when I went back to work. My mom is pretty much the opposite of Mil. She is very outgoing. When my close friends had babies before me, my mom would be ready with a casserole and an afghan, whereas Mil visited the weekend I came from the hospital without so much as a breadcrumb.…

Hello DILs!

I am new today and thank God I have found you!

My husband and I recently had a beautiful little baby girl. Thankfully we live on the other side of the world from my MIL as we have had a very long and unpleasant history (but that’s a much longer story for another time).

My MIL and FIL were planning to visit us and our new baby so MIL asked what gifts she could bring for our baby – a very nice gesture on the face of it – but then it resulted in her claws coming out as always. As I was thinking about what our baby would like or need, MIL asked, “Do they have EDUCATIONAL toys in your country?” Although every conversation I have EVER had with MIL always includes an insult of some description, I am still always thrown by it and NEVER have an answer I…

My MIL is very into image and doing things the correct way, keeping up appearances and etiquette etc. She’s also one of the most tactless, insecure and paranoid people I know. She is constantly creating drama and upsetting people.

When she came for Christmas at my parents’ house and was helping tidy up, she opened the pantry and in front of everyone loudly said “This won’t do at all, there’s just no sense of order”. At our son’s first birthday we were serving drinks in plastic cups because there were lots of babies and toddlers present. She said “Oh…don’t you have anything better?” My husband saw her at our local mall and went to say hello but before he could she said “Ooh, bad hair day”. When my SIL called to tell her about her new relationship with a guy who happened to be Indian she didn’t get a chance before…
