My DH and I have been
together for 16 years, and married for 10. We have 2 beautiful
kids, and usually live very happily. At the beginning of our relationship,
my MIL seemed nice. We got along great. She was the first to know
when we bought our house and got pregnant. She came to live with
us for about 6 months after the lady she was taking care of died.
That's when everything changed for the worse. When she came to
live with us, my first DS was 5 months old and I weighed 120 lbs.
Every day she would say, "You need to join a gym," and,
"Don't eat this", "Don't eat that." I never
said anything to her. I told my DH that it hurt my feelings, but
he never said anything to his mother about it. When she moved out,
she called us on a Saturday morning and started yelling on the phone
when I picked up. I gave the phone to my DH and told him that his
mother was upset about something. But, when he got on the phone,
she was really calm. Then, when I got back on, she started yelling
again. Later on, when I asked my SIL what was up, she said that
her mother was upset because I didn't argue back with her so that
she could have something against me. I was so upset that I told
my DH that I don't want her to have anything to do with my son or
me. She eventually told me that my son was ugly and that he smells.
She also said that he should die. I swear on my kids that I'm not
lying. We did not speak to them for 5 years, but during that 5
years I never received a Mother's Day gift, a birthday gift, or
any other gift from my DH. We, finally, started talking back to
her when I got pregnant with the 2nd baby. During the second conversation
with my DH, she told him things about my sister so that we would
stop speaking to her. Mind you, I asked my DH to move me to the
other side of the country to get away from them. Then, he told
me that the only person who can make him happy is his mother. That
broke my heart. What does he need me for? Now, his dad has plans
to come and buy a house so we can all live together. Over my dead
body will I live with his parents. I told him that if that's the
case, the divorce papers will be in the mail. After 5 years, he
finally told me that he doesn't believe his family would say something
like that about his DS. He never stands up for me or believes me.
I feel like I would rather leave him than live with the hurt his
family has caused me. I know that they would always be in my life
because of my kids, but how can he think I would ever live with
them? If they were dying, it would be a different story. But,
they are fairly young, and my MIL tells my DH what to do. But,
she does it in a way that makes him not realize it. MILs should
realize that DILs are smarter than they think. I PROMISE TO NEVER
BE A BAD MOTHER-IN-LAW.

Worst gift: Worst "gift"
from my MIL was Christmas 2008 when I received absolutely nothing.
My partner and I have just celebrated our 11 year anniversary, and
we have a wonderful 5 year old son. There were gifts for them (nothing
major). As long as our son is happy, I am happy. But, really,
nothing?? I shop my butt off for my ILs every year. I do all the
shopping myself, and they often give me a list of not so cheap items.
This year, I did receive a gift, but it was announced that I wasn't
left out. So, . . .
