My son is two years old
now, and for two years I have heard daily, "Was mama mean to
you today?" "Did mama spank you today?" "Did
mama feed you today?" "Did mama let my baby do anything
today?" MIL told me that the way I feed him was silly. It
was silly to not let him have baby cereal until he was four months.
It was silly not to let him drink whole milk at five months. It
was silly not to let him have eggs and peanut butter at six months.
At six months she gave me a pamphlet (from her choice of pediatricians)
on what he could eat, and she told me that now I would know what
he could eat. Two months ago was the topper. Make that two toppers.
I had given DS a hamburger and was holding it so that he could take
a bite. Otherwise he would throw it down. He whined for it, so
she said," I will hold it so you can go and eat yours. I will
hold it for him." Stupid me, I said ok. As soon as she had
it in her hand, she said," Here baby, mawmaw will let you hold
it. Mama doesn't know how to feed you." I was so pissed.
I just looked at her. DH said, "Oh mama, she didn't want him
to hold it." MIL said, "Oh, I didn't know." DH
told me, "She didn't mean anything by it." Second thing
was when she told my DS, "Mama doesn't love you like I love
you." Guess what my DH said"!!!!!!! You guessed it."Mama
didn't mean anything by it." She contradicts EVERYTHING that
I say or do with him. But the few times I have stood up to her,
she has called my DH's five sisters in on it and said that I caused
her chest pains. I just want to blow my freakin' brains out. But
I'd be damned to do that and leave my children for her to raise.

Before we married, DH
allowed his parents to put a house in his name. They stopped paying
on it and the house went into foreclosure. They continued to live
in it. When we married last year, my DH began taking steps to rebuild
his credit and informed them they either had to start paying or
move. His mother's response was that I am to blame, because they
never had any problems before he married me."

First let me give you
some background on my MIL. She is a bipolar alcoholic, who comes
from a long line of alcoholics. DFIL left her for a woman 20 years
younger about 3 years ago. DF and I have been together for 6 years.
MIL has two sons - DF 25, and FBIL 13. Now, for the first few years
I was like a daughter to MIL. We did a lot together and had a good
time. But since FIL has left the scene, I swear she hates anyone
who is younger and prettier than her. At one point she told me
that I couldn't be around any of her (50 year old) friends because
they thought that I would steal their husbands. She made that up.
Now BIL is as useless as they come. He is failing school. He is
in and out of jail, and he treats people (and animals) with no regard.
Not to mention, he is 5'5 and 350 lbs. Oh, but he has a heart condition
that makes him lazy! However, he is "her little angel"
DF works hard and tends to give in to her every demand. If we come
by extra money, she immediately snatches it up, saying that we owe
her. We owe her no money whatsoever. One Christmas MIL actually
demanded that I buy her a gift worth over $500 and then proceeded
to tell me that she could not afford to buy for me that year. Yet,
she bought FBIL's GF over $200 in gifts. They were 12! I was so
hurt. For my birthday that same year she got me a bottle of cheap
lotion from a discount department store. She claimed that she was
falling on hard times, but then a few days letter she went on a
shopping spree for herself. She has said numerous hurtful things
in front of me to my DF. I don't understand. At first I thought
that she just hated women after FIL left, but no, just me. Now,
she has done some really nice things for me, but they seem to be
few and far between. When I bring all this to DF's attention, he
usually says, "You are overreacting." But not now, he
has told her like it is on many occasions, and she freaks out and
blames everything on what has happened to her. If she slips and
falls, she lays on the couch for months claiming that she is in
so much pain. I think it is just a con to make everyone do her
work. Hey MIL, maybe if you were not 400 lbs, getting off the couch
might be easier. That brings me to another issue. She thinks that
everyone who is not a size 4 is a "fat cow". Did I mention
that she weighs around 400 lbs? I am about 5'6 and 160 lbs. I
wear a size 8. When she buys me clothes, she buys me size 18 or
2X. And she hands me down her size 24W clothes. She lies to everyone
about anything and everything. If she bought a pair of $10 shoes,
they magically are $500 designer shoes. People like this make me
sick! I just wish that she could stop lying! If DF and I want
to go out for an evening, she tells me that he cannot afford it.
(He is unemployed, and I make great money, so I obviously pay).
When we go out, she invites herself and makes me pay. This woman
drives me insane. It makes me think twice about getting married.
