MIL is so fixated on
weight! She blames me that DH isn't 180 pounds anymore, and said
the other day, "When DH lived with ME, he was 180 pounds.
Now, with you, he is close to 300." Like it's my fault that
he is overweight! I've never known him thin! Also, when he lived
with her, he was 18 years old, and his father FORCED him to do LOTS
of sports. DH's father was a professional athlete, and pushed DH
too hard. In fact, so hard that DH now has lots of physical problems
because of injuries, and now HATES sports. When DH went to college,
he kind of rebelled - ate lots of fast food, and DIDN'T do athletics.
When I met him a few years later, he was a pretty big guy. Now,
MIL totally blames me for his weight gain, but what can I do? I
can cook good meals at home, but if DH goes out and gets a burger
at 11:00 at night, I really can't say no. He's an adult! He can
do what he wants. I'm not his baby-sitter! MIL really needs to
get a life, and stop blaming me.

DH and I have been married
for 8 years. We've been together for almost 13, and we have a 2
1/2 year old DS. MIL and I really didn't have many problems with
each other until I had our DS. We lived right beside her and FIL.
These are some of the things that she has done to me and DS. She
came into the house and took him out of his bed when he was only
a week old while we (DS and I) were sleeping. She fought with me
about taking him out on a boat when he was only 1 month old. She
put her bloody finger in his mouth when he was 2 months old and
allowed him to suck on it. When she would come to our house to
visit, she would just walk right in, without knocking, and totally
ignore me. If I'd tell her not to do this or that with my DS, it
would go in one ear and out the other. The list goes on and on.
My DH, DS, and I moved only 5 minutes away from MIL when he was
6 months old. After we moved, she never called to see how the baby
was and would only come around every 3 months or so to see him.
When she would come around, she continued disrespecting me and doing
as she pleased with my DS. I finally put a stop to it and told
my DH that she wasn't welcome in our home and that I didn't want
her calling. DH agreed with me. That was 16 months ago. Since
then they (MIL and FIL) moved less than a mile away from us and
can see our home from theirs. FIL called here over the summer and
called us f***ing ***holes on our answer machine. My DH has been
going to visit them and then comes home and fights with me about
taking our DS to see them (after 16 months of not being in our lives
they NOW want to be grandparents - IMO, they lost their chance).
They are manipulating him and turning everything around to make
it seem like it's all my fault. I've been having chest pain and
anxiety attacks because I'm under so much stress. Just the thought
of her makes me sick, literally. I don't trust them and I don't
want them around me or my DS. On Xmas my DH and I were on the way
to my mom's and he drove to his parent's house. He took my DS and
told me that I could just sit in the car. But, no way was I allowing
those people around my DS without me around. Since Xmas my MIL
has been putting her friend up to calling and asking if he could
bring her to visit. I told him that I didn't think it was such
a good idea, so she called when my DH was home and she told him
that she and FIL were coming down. While they were here, she ignored
me, and FIL didn't bother with our DS. DS doesn't know who they
are, since they decided that they didn't want to be full-time grandparents
to him and wanted to be his grandparents only when it was convenient
for them. I really don't want to deal with them and their drama.
I'm only trying to look out for my DS's well-being and his feelings.
I don't want him growing up asking why his grandparents didn't want
anything to do with him and him thinking there's something wrong
with him because of the way he's treated. This is only part of
the story. I'm just looking for some very needed advice. Someone
please help!

I finally told my DH what I think of MIL, and told
him to tell her where she can go! The last time she left my house
(a few days before Christmas) she was already TELLING me that she
would be back in two weeks. I have been trying to be nice and keep
the peace, but I have had enough. I came home to find my house
trashed. It took me two hours to pick up the mess, not including
the cleaning part. She called DH on Christmas and spoke to him,
and never asked to speak to me or to wish me a Merry Christmas.
She never thanked me for having her after she invited herself, again.
She never apologized for breaking my kitchen chair. The leg fell
off and she just placed it back on the seat and left it there.
She never said a word to me! She called me a few days after Christmas,
again to make sure that I understood that she was coming back to
my house, uninvited, once she got back from a trip that she was
taking. Once again not a word about Christmas, or thank you, or
anything. When I mentioned that we were supposed to get a bad storm
a few days before her intrusion (she does not drive in bad weather),
the b!tch snapped at me, in a sarcastic tone, "Well, I guess
I will just have to buy chains then, won't I." AGHHHH!!!
I finally snapped on DH. I told him that enough is enough, and
his mom is a no good, manipulating b!tch who thinks that I am Cinderella,
and I am not going to take it anymore. My DH has seen how she acts
and how she treats me, and has stood by and done nothing. I think
that he may have finally seen the light. If not, at least I finally
said how I feel. So MIL gets back from her trip today. DH is going
to visit SIL for the next few days (MIL lives close by). I cannot
wait to see if she shows up here or not. If she has the audacity,
I will make her so completely uncomfortable and unwelcome that she
will never invite herself again. DH can make sure that the house
is in exactly the condition it was in before her arrival! I am
fed up. I have had enough. It is time to stand up for myself!
She has already ruined her DD's marriage, like he!! she is going
to ruin mine!
