My MIL wants to look after
my 10 year old DD for the entire summer holiday. I said, "No!"
that's far too long. DH thinks it's fine, as he did the same thing
when he was a child. The thought of being apart from DD for 6 weeks
makes the bottom fall out of my stomach. I hate being apart for
1 night, and a week is about my limit. They both think that I need
to let go, and stop pandering. But, MIL is not the nicest person
in the world, and a long weekend is all either MIL or DD could deal
with before things start getting nasty. DH just says that DD is
going, and that's final. I am not happy, and would like others'
opinions before I flip out.

This is my first post
on this site. For about three days now, I have been reading these
stories. In the beginning, I started reading because I thought,
"Hey, maybe these stories will make me feel better about my
MIL!" But, no. I found myself reading these stories and saying,
"Yep, she's done that, and that, and that," etc. DF and
I have been together a year now. Oh dear me, have I experienced
some cr@p! When I started dating BF, his mother was sickly sweet,
dishing out, "I love you"s and hugs. I found this extremely
uncomfortable, as I am from a family that does not show affection
that way. Let's skip ahead three months. This was when the jokes
and comments started to arise. I was sitting alone in BF's room
before dinner. He stormed in, furious. I asked why, and he simply
told me, "My mother is a complete B!TCH!" Again, I asked,
"Why?" He told me the little joke she had just told him.
"Jeez, I know (my name)'s big, but she doesn't need two towels!"
Now, as I am a woman, I use two towels. Why? I use one for body
and one for my hair, which I think is rather normal. Christmas
rolled around. I was told that I was getting a $100 gift card for
my favorite store. I was rather happy. How generous of her, I
thought. Half an hour later BF's family arrived. Right in front
of me, my gift card was given to BF's aunt. Skip to about a month
ago. MIL has banned me from her property, as I am a better cook
than her, and I do not clean her house enough. Is it just me, or
am I right to think that this is not my responsibility? DH is constantly
told that MIL hates her 7 year old DD. Uhh. WTF? MIL puts makeup
on SIL for school, because "You need to cover up your ugly
freckles." What does this tell her child? "You're not
good enough." MIL has frequent (fake) emotional breakdowns
during which she tells DH all of her problems. Many of these are
just not appropriate for a mother to tell a son. Then she screams
at him, "I WANT MY DADDY. CALL MY DADDY!" She has her
elderly father, who is currently suffering from a lung infection,
rush over to her house to comfort her very late at night. See,
I'm young and I don't need to call my dad when I want attention.
I am given such evil looks when I make eye contact with her, and
am given lectures about how I am ruining her life. All I want to
say is, "You're ruining your own life, my dear." Since
the beginning of the relationship, MIL has been trying to get reactions
from me by saying things about my family and me, "Your sister
isn't very smart, is she?" "Your parents have no idea
how to raise a child!" "You know, you've put on weight!"
I feel like slapping her around the head, but don't think I should
give her the satisfaction. When she gets into an argument with
DH, she will say something like, "Hit me. You know you want
to. It'll make you feel better." He would never do such a
thing! The woman wouldn't allow DH to buy me a Valentine's or birthday
gift! So, DH wrote me lovely poems for both occasions. When MIL
doesn't get what she wants from her son, she will try flirting with
him, fluttering her eyelids and playing with her hair.
