My SIL is EVIL!!!! About
a year ago I was talking to my SIL about baby names and baby stuff
because she was pregnant. I told her how, when DH and I are ready
for a baby, if we have a boy, we are going to name him after my
uncle who died. My uncle and I were best friends, and I know he
would have gotten a kick out of it. Well, surprise, surprise, when
she chose a name, she used my uncle's name. When I found out, I
cried because that name meant so much to me and she had no ties
to my uncle. She just knew that the name meant something to me,
so then she had to have it. It might just be a name to some people,
but that is all I had left of my uncle. She is just the worst SIL
ever!!!

My FMIL and FSIL are something
else. DF and I are getting married in May, and you would think
that my FMIL would at least like to be involved. Guess what? She
doesn't. She is too worried about DF's brother's wedding, that
isn't happening till next year. It will be on our 1 year anniversary.
This woman claims to have no money to help us with anything, but
she is footing the ENTIRE BILL for DF's brother, his DF, their son,
and herself to go their island wedding, and paying for the entire
ceremony, flight, and hotel. Also, when they get back, she is paying
for their reception where we live. UGH!!!!

I just read a story which
is almost the same as mine. I am newly married. My parental home
is in India, but after marriage I went to the USA. My ILs have
been in the USA since 1980. They are still so backward and their
thinking is so old. We lived as a joint family in the USA. Hard
to believe, but true. MIL pretends to be very good, kind hearted
and nice in front of others, but she is not the same person to me.
I was married in 2007. In the early days of my marriage, I felt
like I was the luckiest girl in this world to get such a nice MIL.
But, slowly I learned that she is not good at all. She shows love
and affection to me in front of my DH, but when we are alone, she
always tries to insult me. She wants me to follow her rules word
for word. FIL is a good person, but he always supports his wife.
MIL always praises my SIL (DH's younger bother's wife) in front
of me. She always says that she is so beautiful and that she is
from a very good family. She loves her so much because she is the
nicest person in the world. My MIL always told me what to do, how
to do it, when to do it, where to do it, etc. Even when it comes
to small household work, she interferes and teaches me the correct
way of doing things. She doesn't like when I put on makeup or dress
nicely. Everybody else in the family, and in our society, likes
my style, except her. She, herself, dresses up nicely and puts
on lots of makeup, but she feels jealous if I do so. I am so frustrated
because of her. She interferes in our lives so badly. DH is nice.
I talk to him about everything. But, he loves his mother so much,
and can't say anything in front of her. But, she always shows more
affection to my BIL, though he doesn't respect her as my DH does.
Even then, she always shows her love towards him. My MIL is not
well educated. I have a good education and a good job. She feels
inferior because of her low education, but never shows it openly.
When she and I are alone, she tries to teach me even those things
which she doesn't know how to spell. When I came to the USA, I
learned driving very easily because I drove in my home, too. Driving
is not a big deal. But, for my sweet, sweet MIL it is really very
hard. She learned driving very late, and that's why she feels jealous
when I learn things so fast. When we go out for shopping, etc.,
she always tries to confuse me in the middle of a highway or traffic.
I do as she says, and even then she is not satisfied. She always
tries to show that she is superior in all fields, which is not true.
Yes, she has had a lot more experience than me, no doubt, but it
does not mean that she has a right to rule over me and try to teach
me what is good or what is bad. I am not illiterate. I know how
to do the things, how I can live a better life, how to make food,
how to do makeup, etc. I am the eldest DD of my family. My parents
always ask me before making big decisions for the family or anything
else. I had a very powerful position in my own family, but now
things are completely changed. Someone else rules over me. My
MIL wishes that I even breathe with her permission. I don't know
how long I can take the mental torture, but I wish I could move
out, with my DH, from her house. Wish me luck with that. Thanks
for reading. Every story has a moral: My story's moral is: Do
not believe your MIL. She is not your well wisher. She is an enemy
who can spoil your life. So be aware of your sweet, sweet new mom.
Signed - Do Not Believe
Your MIL
