The 1st time my MIL called me was after we had been
married for 11 months. I, obviously, did not answer the phone
because it was her number, and I figured she just wanted to talk to
her son, like usual. She left a message saying, "Just wanted
to say hello." It was specifically to me. So immediately
I called my husband at work, and, surely enough, he had asked his
mother to call me, because he wanted us to become friends. I
think she did it just for him, not really to make friends with me.
It has been another 6 months since then, and she hasn't tried to talk
to me. When we visit her, she doesn't even talk to me.
She never even asks me how my job, or anything, is going. She
just pays attention to DH, like he is God. I just don't get
it. I would love to tell her exactly what I think of her, but
my DH will get mad. He doesn't like controversy. Also,
if I tell her anything, she will go crying to my DH, saying how mean
I was to her, and he will be mad at me. I'm in a no win situation.
Any ideas?

My MIL went crazy when we told her we weren't going
to travel 8 hours to her house on Christmas. We wanted to spend
our Christmas in our new home. We invited her to come to our
house for Christmas, but she responded that she wanted to spend Christmas
with HER family. Then, she said to my DH, "I knew this
would happen," referring to me. She thinks that I purposely
convince my DH to want to stay at our house so that he wouldn't see
his family. If that were the case, I wouldn't have invited them
to our house. Well, anyway, my MIL has never gone to her ILs
for any holidays. My husband has never seen his father's parents
for Christmas, Thanksgiving, or even Easter. She always had
to go to her parent's house. She is sooooooo spoiled - I can
smell her from 8 hours away. I would love to point this out
to her. I hope she finds this page.

Dear MIL, I really don't understand why you hate
me. I have been nothing but nice to you for the past 3 years,
but I'm not going to do that anymore. As for what I really think
of you - you are a spoiled brat that thinks money can buy love and
happiness. I would love to make a list of all the horrible things
you have done over the years, but it would be too long. Here
are some of the highlights: You went on a family vacation and
invited your son, but not me. You threw a fit when we moved
closer to my parents - you called my husband every day and made him
feel badly, asking him to please not call my mother "mom".
You visited on my birthday and gave me a card, while you gave my husband
his very expensive birthday gift that same weekend. You feel
that if you are willing to pay for us to fly to visit you, that we
should drop everything and come. We get some of YOUR bills because
you filled out the change of address to our address, saying that they
are now ours - not ever warning us that this was to happen in the
future. You complain of having no money, but you don't even
work full time, and you have bought a huge boat and 6 new vehicles
in 3 years. You were very rude to my parents when you came to
visit. You call my husband to make him feel guilty a lot.
You call him at work so you don't have to talk to me. You insult
me and have an attitude whenever you see me. You got upset when
we didn't go to your house for Christmas, but just remember that you
never visited your in-laws on any holidays! Basically, I just
think you're spoiled and would hate any girl who took your son away
from you. You need to get over it, because I'M going to be the
one having YOUR grandchildren. So you better smarten up.
There, now I feel better. DIL.

My MIL did not even come to my wedding shower.
She did send a present, though. But it was something my husband
really wanted, and she knew it. It was supposed to be a gift
for me, not for him.

My MIL and FIL visited one weekend. We went out
to dinner with them and my parents. While at dinner, my mother
was attempting desperately to make conversation with my MIL.
She would answer her with short answers, and sounded very uninterested
in making conversation. When my DH was talking, she was glued
to him, involved in the conversation, and laughing at his jokes.
I thought it was so rude that she ignored my parents. She was
very nice to them before we got married. But, once we moved
close to them, she decided not to like them. MIL is a very jealous
woman who would call DH and beg for him not to refer to my mother
as "mom". My parents love and respect my DH as if
he was one of their own children. I would love to say something
to this b!tch, but it would cause an argument with my DH. What
should I do?

My MIL interrupted our last dance at our wedding to
find out if we were going to meet her in the morning for breakfast.
I was so annoyed. She is such a spoiled brat. It is even
on the wedding video.
