Mother-In-Law Stories

After 4 years of dating, DH and
I got engaged. I was loved by all the ILs, and they claimed that
I was the best thing ever. At the time, SIL was dating a guy
for 6 years. But, she had cheated on him a couple of times, and
was now cheating on him (for over 6 months) with a married man
who'd had a child less than a year ago. Nice girl. Anyway, within
24 hours of our engagement, SIL broke up with her BF. She proceeded
to sleep around A LOT. Then, 4 months later, we told people that
we are having a 2 year engagement to pay for a home and wedding.
SIL wrote her ex-BF a sappy, dishonest letter, and insisted that
they had to get married. Yes, you guessed it, right before our
wedding date. Fine, all of our plans or anything to do with DH
or me was ignored. All we heard about was SIL's wedding this
and SIL's wedding that. OK. Then, all of the relatives were
flying in for SIL, so most then couldn't come to ours. OK. Then,
DH and I had to do things EXACTLY as SIL - same shower locale,
same food, same GIFTS. Yes, either DH and I accepted the same
gifts that SIL picked out, or we got nothing. We got nothing.
MIL was awful. She yelled at my mom. She, literally, threw a
tantrum, one week before the wedding. She told all of the relatives
to call us and force us to do what she wanted for the wedding.
She didn't even give us a card or congratulate us at our own wedding.
She made all types of nasty comments, and told lies throughout
the entire process. SIL was her little drone. Because we did
not do everything that MIL and SIL wanted us to do with our wedding,
MIL also broke every promise that she made to us, including not
giving us some money towards the wedding that she had promised
us. That was not a ton of money, but made us scramble, and was
nasty. The ILs were all rude to us at the wedding because MIL
and SIL told them lies about us, and about how we would be divorced
immediately, etc. Flash forward a few months. Darling SIL's
marriage lasted only nine months. Guess what? She was cheating,
again, with someone new, and was pregnant with someone else's
child before her divorce was final. She didn't even order wedding
pictures from her $20K + and 9 month mistake (that MIL helped
fund and, hence, had no $ to help us). Because of this and many
other reasons, DH never spoke to MIL after our wedding (3 years
ago). MIL spent a ton of money on SIL's wedding, and didn't get
wedding pictures from either of her children's wedding days.
SIL (who, I forgot to mention, is a VERY materialistic, selfish
b!tch) got pregnant by a guy who actually lied to her about his
income, and SIL is now supporting HIM and a child. Maybe it will
make her grow up a little. Best of all, DH and I have never been
happier or more in love.
Signed - Karma!

This is my dilemma. My
DH likes to avoid confrontation with his mother, so we tiptoe around
her. There have been times where she has made our lives he!! for
months on end - so this seems to work for the most part. Well,
now a big issue has come up, and I need some answers. DH doesn't
want to start a fight. I am not prepared to sit idly by and let
this garbage go on, so I said that I would confront her. DH will
not have that, either. My dilemma is to either let the b!tch have
the upper hand and do her dirty deeds to maintain my stable marriage,
or force the issue and cause problems between my DH and me. Is
it worth it? That is probably what she wants in the first place!

OMG!! I need some
serious help here! I'm 23 years old. I've been with
my BF for 5 years, and things are very good between us. My
only problem is my over exaggerating, jealous MIL! She keeps
doing these ridiculous, totally unhealthy things to her son!!!!!
Aaaaaaaaaaahhh! Ok, OK, I got that out of my system.
LOL. Let me give you examples of these weird things that she
does:
1. For the last month, I've been putting love notes and a
candy bar in BF's car at work every Thursday. Guess what?
My MIL began doing the EXACT same thing to him!!!!!! HERS
INCLUDE the LOVE NOTE, OMG!!!!! Is that sick, or what?
2. BF said to me once, in a cute and silly way, "You're
the sexiest thing in the world!" in front of this mother.
Do you know what the woman did??? The next day, she gave him
a calendar filled with women with micro swimming suits. Come
on!!!
3. BF and I went out to the movies, and the movie began at
10 p.m. OK, everything was going great. The movie was
good. When, suddenly, right in the middle of the most interesting
part of the movie, at about 11:30, his cell phone rang. Guess
who it was??! Of course, it was my MIL, and she went totally
crazy and psycho because BF hadn't told her where he was going.
She actually had the nerve to tell him to leave the movies and go
back to the house. OMG!!!!! OK, this is not the worst
part. BF hung up his phone, and it rang again. It was
the woman again!!! Oh, no guys, please, PLEASE help me out
here! Tell me what I should do. Should I be strong or
just break up with him? Help, please.
Signed - WORST MIL EVER!
Just Read and Smile - She Isn't Your MIL!
