Mother-In-Law Stories

After I had my DS, my
step-MIL bought a family van and was talking about getting a car
seat. She also calls herself, "Mommy" and her DH, "Daddy"
at times, when speaking to my DS. She has zero experience with
babies or toddlers (became a step-mom to my DH when he was 15),
and shows considerable lack of judgment (offers baby permanent markers
to play with, sharp objects, etc.). Plus, she is a horrible driver
(been ticketed for erratic driving - on a sunny day while cold stone
sober). Luckily, before she got the car seat, she totaled her car
making an illegal u-turn. I do not doubt her love for DS, but hate
the way she gloats to my partially paralyzed mom, whenever they
meet, about how she loves holding DS, how she loves baby-sitting
(as if that would EVER happen), and details every visit so my mom
can "share the experience". Please. She's partially
paralyzed, not brain dead. And when my mom is hosting a holiday,
SMIL will ask to be invited! This wouldn't be such a big deal,
except SMIL never reciprocates.

She Was Considerate

Help! My mother is morphing
into the MIL from he!!. A little background info: BF is a stand
up guy - good grades, steady job, eagle scout, worships me and he's
always been sweet and polite to my family. But, my mom hates him
and I don't know why. I'm a college student who's not using mom's
money, and I'm living on my own, so it's not that we're too young
or acting irresponsibly. Because I'm a college student, I do have
to crash on my family during breaks (I help w/housework and home
schooling, so I'm not draining family resources). Of course, my
BF visits me once in awhile, but he's not allowed in her house!
Twice during the winter I let him step inside while a grabbed something,
and my mom threw a fit - because he was standing inside the door!
Another time he helped me carry in groceries. I actually asked
her if it was okay for him to come inside the house. She said,
"Yes," and then afterward she started screaming at me
for putting her "on the spot". Twenty minutes later a
neighbor's son, who's the same age as my BF, came over and asked
about using her pool. She smiled and cooed, invited him in, and
spent AN HOUR talking to him in our living room. She couldn't even
say "hi" to my BF, who had been dating me for 6 months
at the time. Of course, I didn't let her get away with this. She
claimed that she was "more comfortable with my people",
and then later denied it, claiming that I was trying to make her
look racist. BF and I have been dating for 1 1/2 years, and he's
eaten dinner with my family 3 or 4 times. Last time my mom got
a little drunk and was understandingly embarrassed about it. What
did she do? Instead of apologizing for it or joking about it, she
said that he is FORBIDDEN to ever enter the house again! And he's
been nothing but understanding and polite towards her! My stepsister's
BF, who was also there, comes over every day, but "he's different".
Help!! What can I do?! BF and I have talked about getting married
after graduation, but I'm worried about my mom. She's already sat
me down and told me how she's looking forward to being mother of
the bride and sewing my dress. She's never even finished sewing
an adult dress! I love my mom, but she's a [fill in the blank]
towards my BF, father, stepmother, and grandmother. I would elope,
but it's very important for us to be married in a church, so we
can't do that. Any advice? Please.

My MIL has made my wedding
planning an absolute nightmare. So far she has done everything
from call my invitations tacky to telling me that her son enjoys
sex. Often. The final straw was last week when she and her friends
told me that they were no longer interested in throwing me a bridal
shower. We had already sent out the invitations. Her excuse?
It obviously wasn't a part of my plan. Oh yes, and she also took
it upon herself to invite a girl who is in love with my DF to the
wedding.
