Mother-in-Law HELL

Hi, my husband and I have a one year old. His sister also has a young child. If you walk into my mother in laws office – she has about 20 photos up of her other grandchild and has only one of ours. Whenever talk about My sons milestones she cuts me off and brings up her other grandson. She never calls when my husband is out of town. She doesn’t care enough to check on our son. I am pregnant and she doesn’t even call to check on me. I try calling her but she’s always busy. When I was sick she never even offered to help. I feel hurt. Don’t know what to do.. Help

I have been having issues with my mil ever since before marriage. Now my husband and i went to counseling and he said that he would change and have more of a backbone where she is concerned, but the unthinkable happened 2 months after marriage. I got pregnant. During that time and before i tried to have a relationship with her but she constantly turned me down and now that the baby is here she expects for me to want the baby to spend time alone with her when she makes comments and things about me to people when im not around. I don’t want her saying things to my baby about me ever. what should i do?
Now the problem that persist is i expressed to her and other family members that i don’t feel comfortable with leaving my baby alone with anyone until he’s older but they can come…

My MIL lives in another country and we only return there once a year for vacation. I go earlier than my husband and he arrives 3 weeks after i do, the usual stay for the kids and i is 6 weeks.
My MIL is controlling, manipulative and emotinally clingy (she keeps asking if i love her and needing me to tell her yes) and i dont think i can take it anymore.

Year after year me and the children have stayed with her and her husband and my 25 years old unmarried brothers in law, (who are very cool, but immature teaching my kids rude words and silly phrases to repeat and be embarrased by), at her house but each year there are problems, she says my kids are ‘hers’ and does whatever she likes with them, feeding them stuff i tell her not too (a whole chocolate bar right before lunch,…

I don’t know that I have a MILFH, but I do need some advice. I have had small problems with my MIL since I married 2 years ago. She is very kind but very simple. Her idea of a conversation is discussing other people. When we bought our first house she would tell my husband that I need to keep it cleaner (even though we had JUST moved in). By the way he is a momas boy. All this I deal with smile and nod, but now we have a child (3 months) and I do nothing right. It started with the pregnancy, I was hurting my baby by NOT drinking, she drank everyday. My FIL and MIL came for a visit while I was in full labour!!!!! Now she will tell anyone who will listen what I am doing wrong. It hurts my feelings that my husband listens and…

I’m looking for the most polite way to tell my MIL to back off. Every time I send my son to her house for her to watch him she does the complete opposite of want I ask.

We have special shampoo and lotion and she insists on using Johnson & Johnson.
I ask her not to use baby oil on his cradle cap and she puts it on anyway.
She has dumped my breastmilk out and given him formula instead.
If his father or I want to go somewhere and bring him with she bitches that he doesn’t need to go and we just need to leave him at her house.
I’ve asked her not to have him sleep with her and she does anyway.
The list goes on and on.

I know he is her first grandchild but I’m getting to the point of frustration. I’m not sure how to confront her. She is a very…

My mil (and fil) WILL NOT come to visit their grandchildrem. I have two children, one is 8 years old, and one is only 5 months. HOWEVER, she EXPECTS us to pack up the car and go to her home every Sunday, an hour drive one way. I work full time, am nursing, and have our own home to care for, church, friends, etc. She works only 15 minutes from our home. She flat out will not come over (especially without her husband, which is confusing even to me). I have repeatedly asked her to stop by after work on any day that she can, even for take-out or just a quick visit. No. She wants us at her house. Yesterday she called ME and told ME that the situation was NASTY. I was flabbergasted. I still am. What do I do here? She is absolutely MORE than capable of…

My ex MIL wants to care for my son during the summer maybe 1, 2 or 3months. This is kind of a tradition in my ex’s family and I thought I might take her up on it but now am not so sure…….

Thing is I was emotionally abused my my own mother and my dad has passed away so myself have no real family to help out. Therefore I have been quite grateful that she wants to be involved. She lives abroad and just visited again and went home yesterday. I find her quite likeable actually, educated, polite which is a surprise given that my ex is not exactly the kind of man you want for a husband: drinks, smokes and does nothing for himself.

Anyway everything was going OK until a couple of days ago she made my son cry as was tickling him and he did not like it.…
