My mom died two years
ago of cancer, so my MIL decided to replace her! She is acting
like a mother, but without feelings. She interferes with so many
things. She asks me where I'm going and why I'm late!! She interferes
with what I feed my baby and how I dress her. MIL and her DDs are
the greatest gossips. I know that they gossip about me a lot.
In front of me MIL keeps teaching my baby to say a lot of words,
except the word mama. She tells everyone how much my baby looks
like her DDs and my DH, but never me, as if I'm not her mother.
She keeps asking me to wear makeup all the time, as if I'm ugly!
When I was breastfeeding, she kept telling me that I don't have
enough milk to breastfeed!! This is a nightmare!! I can write
for a whole day about things that are bothering me.

Frequent
Fry Her TM - birdy,
3 of 4 needed/Posted: 12-DEC-06
A few years back my DH, DD, and I lived only a few
blocks from the ILs. We lived in a nice townhouse, but had no washer
and dryer. DH made a deal with SIL that if they got a washer and
dryer from a rental place, we would pay half, as long as we could
use them as well. We had all our own soap and everything. So one
day MIL and BIL came for a visit, and as they were leaving we asked
if they could take our laundry with in their truck and we would
be along shortly to wash it. There really wasn't that much. About
10 minutes later we received a call from BIL telling us to come
pick up our laundry. When we arrived a few minutes later, our laundry
was all over the lawn, including my DD's, who was only 2 at the
time. SIL came out, screaming at us about us being lazy and that
she was not our maid. We were no longer allowed to use her washer
and dryer. DH was furious and asked for his half of the money back,
and argued that we never asked her to do our wash. She turned to
me and started calling me all sorts of obscene names, when I hadn't
said anything to her. I ignored her, finished picking up my clothes,
and we left. We didn't speak for several months after that.

My MIL is controlling,
manipulative and just a plain hypocritical witch. Before DH and
I got married, she was super nice to me and kept telling me that
she was modern and educated didn't want to interfere in our lives.
Hah! What a joke! As soon as DH and I got married, she showed
her true colors. I come from a very loving family, and I see my
parents, brother and sister as often as I can. I have made a point
of being fair, but my MIL thinks she should always come before my
family because she is the boy's side, and her old school culture
dictates that a woman leaves her family for the boy's side. What
a bunch of cr@p. Meanwhile, my MIL has alienated everyone from
her DH's side of the family, and she has made sure her kids are
only close to her siblings. What a hypocrite. Meanwhile, I get
along much better with his dad's side of the family because they
don't talk nonsense about me behind my back. My FIL is scared of
her, and as such supports her when she rants and raves. At first
DH would listen to everything my MIL said. She would paint me out
to be a very selfish woman who only cared about my family and was
rude and disrespectful. Now, I am a very straightforward person.
I don't play games with people because life is too short, and I
don't have the energy it requires to be fake. So, any time my MIL
says something to me that I don't like, I will tell her so. For
instance, after DD was about a year old we went to a house of worship
and one of my cousins was there. Of course, kids want to play with
kids, so my DD wouldn't go to my MIL. The whole time my MIL kept
saying, "Oh look, she doesn't even know us." I asked
my MIL why she was acting so insecure, and I said that my DD went
to everyone. She immediately went in search of DH, told him what
I said, and asked him if he was going to let me speak to her that
way. I told her that this was not the time or the place for this
discussion. That night she tried to get my DH to go over there
alone so she could talk to him. I was having none of that, so I
went with him. I asked her straight up why she was so provoking,
and she said to me, "I don't care about you. You're not my
DD. You're nothing to me." Now, in her culture that is a
real slap in the face. But whatever, you can't make someone like
you. Then she proceeded to tell me that I was manipulative and
disrespectful. I told her that I thought she was projecting. So
then she told me to get out of her house. Wow, I have never been
thrown out of anyone's house before. I looked over at my DH, and
he just looked stunned, but he said nothing. Meanwhile, my MIL
should have received an Emmy for her performance where she cried
and talked about how she just wished for her son's happiness, and
she would never interfere in our lives. I wanted to puke. And
to make matters worse, the next day my MIL called my DH to tell
him that the reason she kicked me out of the house was because she
thought that I was going to hit her! I have never hit anyone in
my life, and I just can't believe that she would justify her behavior
that way. Talk about adding insult to injury. Well, I finally
talked my DH to go to counseling with me, and as a result he has
finally realized what a manipulative and dysfunctional woman his
mother is. Before, he would not really get close to my family because
he was so afraid of what his mother would say. Now he is more open
to them. Meanwhile, my MIL is unforgivably rude to my family.
Oh, she is nice to their faces, but she won't ever invite them over
or come over when she is invited. She can't even be bothered to
return their phone calls when they wish her a happy holiday. What
a bitter old woman! I don't care what she says to me, but I can't
stand anyone disrespecting my parents. They are just genuinely
nice people. I feel like I need to confront her on this issue,
but then I wonder what the point would be.
