My FMIL and SIL hate me!
They have a history of being very jealous of my mom and me. They
also spend every moment together, which has been a huge problem
for my DF and me, because, before DF and I got together, he would
always hang with them. Now, DF and I spend every moment together.
We have a 17 week old son, and love spending time alone as a family.
We are trying to plan a wedding at the same time that my FMIL and
SIL are planning their wedding. She has a $15K budget, and my budget
is around $50K, which my dad is paying for. They are not aware
of my budget, but are very quick to say that they do not want to
hear about my wedding, because they are not going to have a FANCY
wedding like DF and me. I have done so much to show excitement
about her wedding! I also was the only one to offer to throw her
a shower, which is going to cost me around $500. But, they have
done nothing but cut us off every time we talk about our wedding.
I listen to my MIL and SIL talk about ALL their drama and everything
that goes on with SIL's future IL. I get tired of their complaining,
but I am forced to listed to them tell me about every little detail,
good and bad, about the wedding. Everything about the wedding that
involves the future ILs is usually bad. This weekend, I told a
mutual friend that I felt bad for FSIL because she had a lot of
drama in her wedding. Our friend asked if she has b!tchy bridesmaids?
I said that they tend to give her a hard time. My FSIL found out
and freaked out on me. She made a huge scene in public, and said
she was going to kick my @ss. She then told her FSILs, who are
the other bridesmaids, that I called them b!tches. I do not even
know them, but everything I do know of them is bad, and I heard
it all from my SIL and MIL. When I addressed this with my MIL,
she said that I must have done something to provoke her, and she
would have to get her DDs side of the story. Of course, after getting
my FSIL's story, my MIL told me that she was very upset with me
because I ruined HER holiday, I ruined HER wedding, and that I needed
to find new daycare for my 17 week old son. I have tried to apologize
and rectify this situation, because I did not want or mean to hurt
anyone, but I think they just hit a boiling point with me, and anything
was going to set them off! I do not know what to do! I do not
want to go through my life feeling threatened and uncomfortable
around his family. MIL is very possessive, and had horrible separation
anxiety from her son when we moved in together. She has told me
that she gets upset when her son follows me around and runs to MY
mom for support, instead of her. We do not do that at all! I think
that she has some serious insecurities, and is fabricating in her
own mind that this stuff is happening! I feel that they blame me
for everything that goes wrong with anything they do. I am so upset!
I have to throw her a shower in the next couple of weeks, by myself,
and she let the bridesmaids and her ILs know that I called them
names? I do not know what to do. Please help me! Any advice is
appreciated!

I married to a guy from
a different background (this difference is such that it is important
to MIL). My MIL has lived separately from her DH for the past 20
years, and my DH works in another country. I am stuck with her
most of the time. Whenever DH is home, she acts very weird. She
never allows us to go out together. If, by chance, we ever go out,
she stares at both of us the whole day. If a fight pops up, she
abuses my parents so much (it is no mistake of theirs) that I feel
like crying out loud. She dominates the house, and gives emotional
torture. She always threatens my DH with suicide. She can never
see us happy together. Whenever a fight pops up, she beats herself
in the chest and head. I was working in a renowned company, in
a very good position. She forced me to quit my job, and can not
accept the fact that I am much more successful than she is. That
makes her even more jealous. My poor DH is having a stressful time.
I am 2 months pregnant, and my DH just left for work. I am so scared
to be with her. I am unable to forget all the incidents that happened.
I am scared that this will affect my baby's health.

Worst gift: My Christmas
gifts from MIL are always sweats or sweaters. For the first couple
of years after we were married, she would get me size medium, but
"petite"? I'm not short, so the pants would always be
about 2 inches too short, but the sweatshirts were fine. I never
said anything. One year, at Xmas, I was about 8 months pregnant.
She still gave me a sweat suit, size medium petite. "You can
wear it after delivery." Yeah, I'm sure I will immediately
shrink after delivery, not to mention the short pants. Anyway,
this past year I had a falling out with the ILs over them visiting
too often. They sent gifts. That year I got a nice XL sweater.
Apparently, I am no longer short, but I have put on a few pounds.
I did get even, though. MIL and FIL refuse to cook. They think
that they should eat out for every meal (not kidding - they say
that they have cooked enough and they deserve to eat out). So,
I got them something from a high quality mail order steak company.
I've already ordered their "ready to cook" package for
this year.
