My MIL should really be on meds.
She is the biggest b!tch ever. My BF and I started dating
when we were still in high school. I was 16 and it was our
first Christmas together. I wanted it to be special, so
I went out and bought him a black electric guitar. A month
before Christmas, I made sure to phone my MIL to let her know
that I had purchased a guitar for him, and to ensure that she
did not buy one as well. She sounded really excited on the
phone, telling me what a great gift it was and how she and I should
go shopping for strings for it. I was so excited for him
to open it on Christmas morning. I had it all wrapped and
hidden away, since it was a hard item to conceal. He phoned
me on Christmas morning to announce that he was given a white
electric guitar from his mother for Christmas. I started
to ball right then and there. I was so upset, and the poor
guy was caught in the middle. Four years later, to this
day, we (MIL and I) have never spoke about it. Yet, it still
really bothers me. When we move, I think the "white"
one may get lost in the garbage.

Okay, here's a soon to
be MIL from he!!. They are actually FUTURE ILs from he!!, but the
problem is mainly with her. I met DF in 2002. We worked together.
He moved from halfway across the country, and that's how we met.
I already had my DD and DS from a previous relationship. Well,
within a month (I know, it was quick) we got pregnant. I didn't
know until I delivered our DS, and MIL called the hospital and asked
my DF whether he was getting a paternity test, because she'd "heard"
stories about me (but, yet, I live in a different state than she
does). I lost my job last June, and so we moved to their state
with them. Thank God we are moving in a week or two. She gets
completely wasted every night, and goes off b!tching at me for every
little thing. I got put on bed rest (pregnant again) and she b!tched
to everyone (her family and friends) that I was a lazy b!tch who
didn't do anything. So, I took myself off bed rest, and did everything.
I was sent to the hospital 2 times for pre-term labor because of
this. She was too drunk to even get up with my son, so I'd rather
take a risk than have her drop my kid down the stairs, or who knows
what else. Well, about two weeks before I delivered, her teenage
daughter came to her and informed her that she was 4-5 months pregnant.
She planned it, we all know. But, yet, she's perfect, and can do
no wrong. MIL threw her 3 baby showers, and expected me to stay
for them all and watch her open her gifts. She did not throw a
single one for either one of our kids. Then, I had a c-section,
which got infected, so I had to "rest, and take it easy"
for 2 weeks. Well, naturally, 4 days after my c-section I was expected
to be her maid again. Then, she said that I needed to get a job
and pay her to watch my kids (yeah, I trust her to stay sober long
enough to keep them). But, she offers to watch her DD's kid for
free. Then, she got a job, and her other son moved home. No joke,
we can get at least $8 a day (10 cents a can) when we recycle all
of their beer cans. Well, her DS's not working. He sleeps until
2 p.m. She gives him money to get wasted and to hang out with his
friends. He wrecked his sister's car (drunk, of course) and got
no lecture, nothing. But, I was told to get a job. It's not fair
that I get to stay home. Staying home with 4 kids and cleaning
up after all the people in this house isn't exactly a picnic. Now,
we're moving 45 minutes away, because she says that once her daughter
goes back to work, there will be days that I have to watch her kid
for free. I'm sorry, a 7 year old, a 3 year old, an 18 month old,
and a 6 month old, are enough for me. I don't need to add an infant
to the mess, too. But, her DD's "baby's daddy" has no
job, and spends what little bit of money her DD has on pot. But,
he's much better than me, too. Two weeks ago, right before her
DD had her baby, she told one of her friends that she was the skinniest
person in the house. Until then, I thought that I looked really
good and had knocked all my baby weight off. Two nights ago, she
was wasted (again). She came home yelling and cussing at my DD,
grabbing her arms trying to drag her up to bed. She said that she
hates my DD, and she just wants to smack her in her face. I guess
she's jealous, because DD looks better than MIL? Her DH had to
drag her off my daughter. She also treats my other son differently.
I can't wait to get as far away as possible. Even DF hates her
now, too.

I'm not a DIL, but my
mom had to deal with an evil MIL. My father was adopted, and
his mother came to visit when I was a baby (I'm in my 20's now).
Well, grandma decided to rip into my mother about every little thing
from the weather to the food, whatever. Dad had to work that
day. While he was gone, my dear grandmother decided to follow
my mom into the kitchen and harp about everything, even going as
far as to spew profanity and evil words towards my mom. I
was in another room with my older sister while this was going on.
While her MIL was spewing hatred, mom said nothing and did nothing.
She never once raised her hand to the woman, nor did she raise her
voice, and this was taking place in HER HOUSE! Grandmother
then raised her hand to strike my mother, and before her hand could
even touch my mom, her mother (my wonderful grandmother) walked
into the room and screamed, "DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH HER!!!!
GET AWAY FROM HER!!!!" Needless to say, dad's mom backed off
and went into another room and closed the door. When dad came
home from work, mom told him everything and how his mother nearly
struck her. He went to his mother and said, "You have
to go home. NOW." He took her to the bus station
to get home. I guess I should add that his mother died nearly
20 years ago, so I have no memory of her. That's some MIL
story, huh?

RESPONSE: Daughter of the Daughter-in-law
I'm glad to hear that your dad stood up for your mom and kicked
his mother out. He's an excellent husband.
