My MIL has never met me or our almost 2 year old son. She still thinks that the first wife is the only woman for her son and sees me as just being in the way. She also showers the child from this first marriage with love, attention and affection while she has yet to even see our little one.
Since she has never met her younger grandchild it is amazing that she some how knows that he is neglected, that he is mistreated and such. I would think she would have at least have to meet him or me to know I am a horrible parent.
She spies on her son by going through his e mail after hacking into it but then says I am reading his e mail. She also shared personal e mails between him and I she found in his e mail with the ex wife, but I am the one that is invading his privacy!

I don’t have an ex wife in the picture, but I understand about the grandchild being neglected. Like I posted before, MIL doesn’t pay attention to my girls either. My girls are always asking why doesn’t grandma like them? I mean how do I keep my kids from feeling that way, when they can see she spends time with both SILs’ children but not them? My mother lives in a different state so MIL is the closest thing they’ve got to a grandmother.
My MIL has ruined every important day of my life……well….I wouldn’t give her the satisfaction of thinking she actually “ruined” them! Anywho…. My wedding was quite classy and we asked for no alcohol for crying out loud our minister was going to be at the reception also! But of course she snuck in her own “bottle” of VODKA! EXCUSE: so SHE wouldn’t feel so nervous!! ???? When our first daughter was born and my husband called her right away…she already was breaking his heart saying that she wasn’t coming to the hospital. Funny how all day she seemed excited and just as healthy as could be! EXCUSE: I’m too sick to come to the hospital! whatever!! 2nd born daughter…..same thing!! She never once came to see her at the hospital and she was 2 weeks old before she even saw her. Not to mention the only reason she saw her then was for a christmas gathering at my husband’s aunts house! And every birthday party or baby shower she has had to have been begged by my husband just for her to come! We (my mother and I) have always coddled her and have made sure she was the best taken care of guest at these parties! She of course isn’t coming to our last baby shower this weekend…finally a boy =-)….And new flash! she isn’t getting “begged” either. I think she thrives on it! She only sees our girls about every 3 months and that’s if we brave it and go to her house. She never does anything “grandmother” like and it pisses me off! Note: we live in the SAME TOWN! My mom and dad do everything for these kids as a grandparent normally would. She also whines and complains that they don’t call her grandma……well….if you were around and they knew you as someone other than “hey lady!”…maybe they would!! Yeah…that’s right…they say “hey lady”….when they are trying to talk to her!
I am new to this website but I am having the same type of problem with my MIL. I have a 9 year old step daughter who I love with all my heart (I hate her mother but that’s for another website lol)Ijust had my first baby in May of this year. My MIL came to the hospital which was great but the didn’t come down again until 3 months later and that was only because she was picking up my step daughter for a few days. If she hadn’t come down to get her she still would not of seen my baby since the day she was born. Now I will admit that she does live about an hour and a half away but still she has a 3 day weekend and we have a guest bedroom. Well my daughter is now almost 5 months old and yesterday we got a package in the mail addressed to my step daughter. This package was full of Halloween treats for her but there wasn’t even so much as a card or onesie for my daughter. My husband called her and asked if she was planning on sending anything for my daughter and her response was to get pissy and say why would I send candy to a baby. My husband told her she could of sent some Halloween socks or something at least put her name on the card. He ending up saying “f$@!k off” and hanging up on her.
I don’t know what to do. Does anyone have a advise for me?
