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…
leave me alone!!!
by jai on 07/29 @ 4:21pmIs it legal to just cut your mil out of your life? What if she tries to take me to court or something because of her grandkid? I am sooooooo fed up with her bs and the only thing she cares about is the grandkid. That’s a good thing but she totally is soooo fake and tries to act all knowing and she knows exactly how I feel about her but she still keeps being so nosy and pushy trying to tell me what to do. If she is ignored then she does total guilt trip. She tries to tell me what to do In non chalant ways cause she knows how mad I get when she tells me what to do straight up yet she is still trying!! To make matters worse my hubby is an only child who she totally spoiled so much that he can’t ever live…
Long Distance Wedding Planning NIGHTMARE: my FMIL can’t make the wedding!
by britbird on 04/29 @ 4:52pmUgh, where do I start?!
We’re 4000 miles apart and we’re trying to sort out him moving here ASAP. We are completely miserable apart and missing each other like crazy
So, to the wedding plans: part of the problem we have is the restrictions of the Fiance Visa he’ll be coming in to my country on, which costs over $1000 and is only valid for 6 months during which time we must get married. He also can’t work until we’re married and have applied for a visa extension, which is going to be around another $750. We were originally going to get him here and wait the full 6 months before the wedding, but, after much discussion, decided to bring the wedding forward as neither of us wanted for him to be out of work for 6 months and feeling like he wasn’t contributing.
Anyway, that decision made…we found what looked to…
I am at witts-end!
by Confused on 03/08 @ 3:30pmMy 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…
More like FATHER in LAW…with the mother in law added in…please help, im contemplating getting out of my marriage
by scholzie on 03/02 @ 2:47pmI know this is about MIL’s but I have a major father in law issue too. My husband and I got married last may(09). He and his family are very strong christians. I never grew up in a religous household. To put a long story in a nut shell, the reception they had for us was the 2nd worst day of my life after my dad dying when I was a little girl. The whole dinner was about my husband. Everyone wanted pix with just him, his family sang a song just about him, his parents flipped out because I just wanted it to be us at the head table. And to make things worse, all our gifts and cards were addressed to him. His girl cousins mocked me. And then his parents, specifically his dad said that I’m disrespectful to their family and walk all over everyones feet. Bottom…
what to do about grandchild and overbearing mil?
by whymilhell on 01/05 @ 5:21amI 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…
Not Sure How to Act
by Shay Kitt on 12/18 @ 3:29pmTypically, 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…
