I have been married for
1 1/2 years now. We dated for 2.5 years before we decided to get
married. When I first met his family, they were all nice and accepting.
All but his mother. She has let me know many times, in her own
little way, that I am not good enough for her baby boy. Whatever.
He is 24, and can make his own decisions. She has been a diehard
member of her religious community her whole life. And, while I
am of that religion, too, I have no interest in becoming active,
and this has always been a problem for her. I have always tried
to be respectful of her beliefs, and I have always treated her son
well. He is the "golden" child, because he was also a
VERY active church member, until he graduated high school and decided
that it wasn't what he wanted. From that day on she has treated
him like an outsider. She always lets him know how disappointed
she was in his choices, until he joined the Marines. And, all of
a sudden he was important again. She let everyone know that her
baby was a Marine, and that he was SOOOO important. Look at the
wonderful child that she raised. Give me a break, right? So we
got engaged before he left for boot camp, and she told me that they
had no money, and couldn't help with the wedding. So, my parents
had to foot the bill. The funny thing is that when their DD got
married six months later, they paid for everything. No money, right?
Now we come to find out that she has denounced the church, pierced
her tongue, and has tattoos. What the %@&*? She is SOOOO hypocritical,
and I will have nothing to do with that. After all of the times
that she let me know that I wasn't a good person because of my beliefs,
she does this and expects everyone to be happy for her and her new
life? She is like 55 and a grandmother!!!! Sorry that this is
so long, but I needed to vent. My DH is never on my side when it
comes to them, and it frustrates me.

Frequent
Fry Her TM
- MyMILDramaQueen, 1 of 4 needed
/Posted: 5-SEP-04
When I was pregnant with our second son, I was a
sub for a Bunco team (a local dice game played socially) with
my MIL (lapse in judgment). She is not a very skinny person, and
I guess she was tired of getting up. She told me that my unborn
child told her that I needed exercise and that I should move. I
looked at her and gave a confused look. She said, you don't want
to get fat, do you? I only gained 24 pounds during the whole pregnancy.
Signed - Irritated
( I
want my own Frequent
Fry Her TM
Page )
RESPONSE: Irritated
Are you kidding me? That is the most ridiculous thing for MIL to
say. Is she clairvoyant or something?
RESPONSE: Irritated
At least you were probably able to get rid of the weight gain, but
pity your poor MIL who will never be able to increase her IQ high
enough to stop making stupid statements.
RESPONSE: Irritated
That's pretty mean, but it's not that bad. I think that just confronting
her when she says those things will solve the problem. But, if
it doesn't, then just fire a b!tch comment back at her. If you
don't want to cause any more trouble between the two of you, then
I suggest that you just ignore her. MILs are very stubborn sometimes
