My ex-MIL hated me so much, that when her daughter was getting married, she refused to allow me to attend the rehearsal dinner!  Never mind that she didn't throw it, she made sure that I was kept away!  I might also add that her baby boy (my husband at the time) was one of the ushers, and WAS included in the rehearsal dinner!  Last I checked, this was supposed to include SPOUSES of wedding party members, as well!  I'm just glad to be rid of this loser and his friggin' family!

Brother-In-Law without children.  My fiancé and I had arranged for FBIL to watch our daughter.  He insisted on putting her to sleep on her belly.  I had told him several times that she was to sleep on her back because the risk of SIDS was greater when babies are put to sleep on their bellies.  He even went as far as to argue with me about it.  He said that she slept longer on her stomach.  I told him that I would rather she only nap for an hour on her back and wake up, rather that sleep longer and not wake up.  He still kept doing it.  So, I finally told him to put her on her side, since it was a compromise, even though her doctor said that back sleeping was what we should do.  What was even funnier was that my fiancé had told his mother that his brother had to stop putting her to sleep on her stomach and his mother agreed with him.  During my argument with his brother, he told me that their mother puts her to sleep on her belly too.

When I met my girlfriend (now my wife) back in 1992, my girlfriend got into an argument with her mother (now my mother-in-law).  Her mother took away my girlfriend's asthma inhalers   This is her own daughter that she did this to.

        Signed - Her Own Daughter

RESPONSE:  Her Own Daughter
Scary.  Do you still speak to this dreadful woman?

RESPONSE:  Her Own Daughter
Your GF should have had her mother charged with attempted murder, because that is exactly what it was.

RESPONSE:  Her Own Daughter
Of course it was her own daughter whom she did this to.  Anybody else who was not related would have punched her on the nose, taken the inhaler back, and broken off all contact with her.

RESPONSE:  Her Own Daughter
I am a registered nurse, and my mother has asthma.  What your MIL did was an extremely evil act.  An exacerbation of asthma can be very life threatening or fatal.  Set up boundaries with your MIL to get strict psychotherapy, and I do mean intense counseling, along with psychiatric medication, in order to see your wife.  Make sure each visit is supervised.  If you have children, please don't ever leave them alone with her!

When my DD was a baby, I was a dutiful DIL and took her to see MIL and SIL.  They both smoke like chimneys and drink like fishes.  They thought nothing of trying to hold a baby with a cigarette hanging out of their mouths!  After each visit, my DD would be sick for days, and we would have to take her to the doctor's office.  Each time, the Dr. told us that it was because of the smoke.  So, my DH and I decided that if they wanted to see the baby, they would need to come to our house, and they could step outside to smoke if they wanted to.  My DH and I sat down with them and explained why we had come to this decision.  My DD is now 7 years old.  Guess how many times MIL and SIL have been to see her?  Four.  Yep, four times in seven years.  Yet, they snarl at me for keeping their dear granddaughter/niece from them!

        Signed - MIL Is A Self Absorbed Old Bat!

RESPONSE:  MIL Is A Self Absorbed Old Bat!
OK, they are nutty and terrible, but YOU should be ashamed!  How many times did you, after KNOWING what the problem was, risk your own daughter's life?

RESPONSE:  MIL Is A Self Absorbed Old Bat!
And YOU actually took your baby back to see these people MORE THAN ONCE, after the doctor EXPRESSLY told you what was making her sick?!?  Your ILs might be @sses, but you should be ashamed of yourself.
