Has DH lost weight yet???
Have you??" That's what I hear EVERY TIME I answer the phone
when MIL calls (which, fortunately, is hardly ever - thanks to caller
ID). Every time I am forced to talk to MIL though, she has to talk
about our weight. She asks what I'm cooking, and then proceeds
to tell me what I should have done to make it more healthy! I have
tried just saying that I don't remember, but she prods, and eventually
one of us will tell her what we ate. It doesn't matter if we ate
the most healthy meal of all time, it still wouldn't be good enough
for her! I may have gained a few pounds since I got married, but
I am by no means fat. It just bothers me that she doesn't think
that I know what's junk, and what's healthy. Oh, and she's not
thin herself! And she smokes (I don't and neither does DH), so
I don't know what makes her think that she's so much more informed
than I am.

One of the first memories
I have of my MIL would be when she was explaining her deep love
for her youngest of five, and only, son. Quasi, as I like to call
her (due to her large humped back) went on to tell me how if she
had had her son first, she would have never had her girls. She
never wanted DDs, only her precious boy. Yes, I was taken aback
by this obviously cruel and insensitive comment, but being young
and dumb, and believing that I was the center of my BF's world,
I didn't worry myself with this woman being a thorn in the side
of my relationship. After being together for around two years I
had experienced a few unpleasant moments with regards to Quasi and
her gargoyles (OOPS, I mean girls). It was time to get engaged
now, and the real fun could begin. Being a dutiful son, DF asked
me if I would mind signing something stating that if we broke up,
I would give him back THE RING. I, in my most delicate and ladylike
voice, told him to BITE ME! He quickly asked for my forgiveness
and stated that his mother felt it was a good idea. Yes, I am sure
she did. As the time for our wedding approached, tensions grew.
A bitter battle ensued when Quasi's pervert husband started being
verbally abusive towards me. I asked DF to put a stop to it, and
he, being still sooooo in-love, did. This, of course, sent Quasi
into a downward "suicidal" spiral, and, of course, I became
persona non grata to my DF's family. DF sided with me, and so Quasi
locked herself into her room until her baby boy came to calm her
down. This little scene was quite the eye opener into the manipulative
mind of my FMIL. Crocodile tears and pretending to be fragile and
sickly are her weapons of choice. What is a poor little boy to
do? So, needless to say, we eloped, and darned if I wasn't pregnant,
too. So, began my marriage. Oh, she pretended to my face, while
stabbing me in the back throughout my marriage. One of my favorite
moments with Quasi was when she would blow sunshine up my skirt
by telling me that I was her favorite DIL. Please remember that
DH has only an older sisters. I always reminded Quasi that I was
her only DIL. She would respond the same way every time, and I
quote, "If I had a hundred DILs, you would still be my favorite."
Insert finger and begin gagging. The moral of this story is this:
She won. We are getting divorced. Quasi and DS now own matching
cars and spend as much time together as possible. Our children
are now her biggest rivals. The bottom line is this: Mamma's boys
are damaged goods. They are, in my opinion, the biggest woman haters.
They are manipulated by their own mothers, and they don't have the
courage to stand up to them. They take the important rage that
they have for their mothers and direct it towards their GFs, wives
and DDs. This, in an extreme form, can be seen in the movie Psycho.
Norman Bates seemed like such a nice young man, didn't he?

Please someone help.
You see, I have a MIL who thinks that she should still be the boss
of everyone!! She has four boys, no girls, and is the most unfeminine
person out there. DH is a mommy's boy, afraid of saying anything
to her. I am pregnant for the second time, and she hardly acknowledges
the fact that we are having another baby. She talks about me around
my DH's family when I am not there (my SIL gives me the scoop),
and, of course, no one says anything to her because everyone is
so afraid of her. I just don't feel like it's my place to tell
her anything. DH should be the one to say, "If you can't respect
my wife, then stay away!" If it were my parents doing the
same thing, it would be my place to say something, and I would!!
No second guessing! I just feel so much tension when we are around
each other, I have never given MIL a reason to hate me. I have
always been respectful to her, so I just don't get it. When my
child is around, she overrides my decisions as a parent, and lets
her do whatever just out of spite, that's all! I don't get it!
I spoke with DH and told him that it's time for him to start standing
up for me and that he needs to speak to his mother. Talking about
your DIL to family when you are not there to defend yourself is
just plain mean and disrespectful.
