I have many MIL stories
backlogged in my 5 years of marriage, but I will start with our
wedding experience. I had gotten along well with my MIL, until
we started getting down to the nitty gritty of our wedding planning.
FDH and I ceremoniously got called to the IL's house 3 months before
the wedding took place because we had asked for a list of 20 couples
whom they wanted to invite to the reception, outside of sister,
uncles, and grandparents. They had been worked into the invitations
already. The venue could only hold a little over 200 people, so
we were pushing our limit anyway. We had to sit though 2 hours
of sobbing, because MIL could not limit their invitations to the
20 couples we had allotted. She then went on a tirade about how
terrible it was that we were not inviting everyone to the wedding.
We wanted a small ceremony and a big party afterwards. She told
us how horrible it was that her poor aunt could not attend the wedding,
just the reception, and that she still had many extended relatives
whom she wanted to invite. After practically throwing a tantrum,
I gave in to her (boy, do I regret it!), and did not invite some
very important people in my life so that she could have her way.
Imagine my horror at the receiving line when I met several couples
in excess of the extra couples that I had allowed her. They even
had the balls to say, "You didn't invites us, but MIL did."
I should have known that this would be the beginning of MIL he!!.
Stay tuned for other stories.

Frequent
Fry Her TM
- MsPen /Posted: 18-MAR-08
DH and I were drop dead sick. MIL said, "Let
me bring you some homemade soup to get you well." What a nice
sentiment, right? No. After the soup was eaten and she was ready
to leave, she asked us for a check for thirty dollars to pay for
the supplies used to make the soup.

I have been married for
6 months, and my MIL has made it a living he!!. She has been the
most unsupportive cow I've ever met. I truly didn't know people
like that existed. We got along fairly well when her son and I
started dating. Then, I noticed that she would only look at him
when we talked, not even glancing my way. When I rang her and told
her that we were engaged, she responded, "What the he!! did
he do that for?" She has four boys, and we were the first
to get married. She was negative the whole way up to the wedding,
checking with my DH when I wasn't around to make sure that he was
doing the right thing. I suffer from depression, and we had told
her that I wasn't well and had to go to hospital. She stopped talking
to me and completely ignored me from then onwards. When DH asked
her about it, she said that I always try to be the center of attention,
and she wasn't the only one who thought that. We didn't speak for
5 months before the wedding, and it was extremely awkward on the
day. A few months after we were married, again I was having some
trouble with my health. Poor DH, yet to get any support from his
family, told them that I wasn't well again. They came to our place
the next day, and again she went on psycho, yelling and screaming,
and putting me down. DH had to scream at her to get out of our
house. She has said to me, "I'm not your mother. You already
have one." I will never acknowledge that she is my MIL. Now,
I'm left going through therapy to work through all the hurt that
she has caused me. I just feel sorry for my poor DH.
