Your site has really assisted
me in focusing and formulating what is bothering me about my mother-in-law's
behavior. My husband is such a precious blessing, and worth
putting up with anything in order to have our shared life. He
is my support and partner, and I feel so content and complete in his
company. Next Saturday is my birthday, and he is taking me away
for two nights so that we can spend some time alone. The children
will be staying with my mother. He practically pushed me out
the door yesterday to go shopping for some new clothes to wear on
our weekend away. This is a very thoughtful man. When
his mother heard that we were going out of town, she was sure, right
off the bat, that it had been my idea, and she commented that our
absence was bound to be hard on the children. Now I stay at
home with our two girls, and there is no reason to think that they
won't be just fine with my mother and their aunties to keep them comfortable
and happy. So, I just sigh and move on ...
This afternoon she telephoned me questioning our choice of destination,
and wondering whether driving for four hours after a week of work
won't be an inconsiderate drain on my husband. I remember when
they were staying in their country home, and she forgot her wallet
at home. She did not mind requesting that my husband drive round
trip to deliver it to her. To be fair, she did want him to stay
overnight, but since I was near the end of my second pregnancy, My
husband chose to come home directly. At the time, I could not
help wondering why she did not ask her other son or daughter to perform
the needed errand.
Now, none of this is ruining my life, and I don't want to sound peevish,
but there has got to be some way that we could all get along better.
I just wish she could see that my husband is just investing in his
marriage and is a fine man, and be proud of the good job she did in
raising him. His father is very like him ,but was very busy
with a demanding career, and he tends to have a distant patrician
manner (one which causes us no problems). I just keep thinking
that there has to be some way that I can turn this situation around
and improve things. That is what I brood upon. As I look
forward to next weekend, my feelings of anticipation are building,
and there is a definite sense of escaping from our regular life and
getting a real break. The thought of having my husband to myself
thrills me. It will be the first time we have been away together
since the girls were born, and I am getting giddy thinking about the
pleasure we will have in just being alone. It makes me want
to do something nice for his mom, but I am concerned about being rebuffed
and having that put a damper on my mood. Sometimes I feel so
conflicted between feeling so lucky and then guilty for so much undeserved
good fortune. My unreasonable side wants my MIL to be happy
WITH us, but I know that it is not up to me. Is there any way
I can pave the way to a better atmosphere?

I feel like I am constantly
competing with my MIL for my children. She says stuff like,
"they would live here if you would let them," and, "my house
is like a second home to them." My kids do love their grandparents,
and I want them to see them, but MIL is really getting on my nerves.
She acts mad if I go to my mom's house to let her see them.
If I say something about my mom, MIL says, "Oh, did you take
them down there, or did they come to your house?" If I
go somewhere, she asks me who went with me. She wants to know
everywhere I take them, and it's none of her business. Sometimes
I answer her, and sometimes I ignore her and act like I didn't hear
her. She calls me and asks me how long it's been since they've
eaten, or if they've eaten at all. One time I told her that
I thought it had been a couple of days since I fed them last (sarcastically)
and she about flipped. I take good care of my kids, and spend
all my time with them. I love being with them and watching them
learn something every day. I am home-pre-schooling my oldest,
and MIL even wants to get in on that. She tells me when to discipline,
and how. I was bottle breaking my oldest from the bottle when
she was 15 months and MIL wanted me to give it back to her, after
her being off of it for 3 days, and to wait until her 2nd birthday.
She is very opinionated on how to raise my kids, and she is really
getting to me. If anybody has any advice, please help.

RESPONSE: in response to "Competing MIL"
I think you already know you are doing a wonderful thing by staying
home and caring for your child. If you need a huge pat on the
back -- you have one from me -- you deserve it. :) I also have
a controlling MIL, and I am so glad to have found this site.
Your story really struck a chord with me personally, as I am going
through a lot of the same with my MIL. I know when I sit down
to look at the reasons why my MIL gets under my skin so much, I can
come up with reasons like her insecurity, loss of control, etc.
BUT ... it does not make it any better for me to handle. Since
the birth of my son, it has been HORRENDOUS!!!! She is SUCH
a drama queen. She tells everyone I will not let her see him.
Well, I admit, I do not take him to see her often, because I do not
want to hear the constant barrage of "do this" and "do that".
She seems to only shower him with attention when someone is around
to see her do it.
All in all, just wanted to let you know you are not alone. Let
me know if you want to vent via e-mail! Also ... please relay
any good come-backs you come up with!
Good luck,

RESPONSE: Response to "Competing MIL"
I think it's great you spend so much time with your kids and are home-schooling
them. A lot of the things you do with your children you can
probably say, "well, my doctor wants them to do this" -- especially
stuff like the breaking the baby from the bottle issue.
6/29
RESPONSE: Response to Competing MIL
You raise your child how you and your husband want your child raised.
When MIL says things that annoy you, and when she tries to interfere,
tell her it's actually none of her business. And, if she tells
you to do something her way, tell her, "No, I'm doing it this
way." And leave it at that. You don't owe her an
explanation for anything. This is your child, not hers, and
you do what you see fit.

I am writing about my MIL
while waiting for my husband to return after, yet, another fight in
her honor. I am so desperate for some understanding that I turned
to the internet and was relieved to find that I'm not alone.
I can relate to parts of almost every story.
My husband and I met 3 years ago and married about 8 months ago.
We lived in a fairly large city about 2 hours from my family and 3
hours from his. I didn't meet his family for quite a while after
we had been dating because he was very concerned about my reaction
to them. He is an only child, and an only grandchild, and VERY
heavily depended on. His family has a lot of money and are not
afraid to bribe their way into his life. Unfortunately, he allows
them. I finally met his parents, his father's parents, and a
few family friends at his college graduation. I guess he was
right to be concerned about the meeting, because his mother managed
not to say one single word to me all night! Everyone else was wonderful,
she spent the whole night glaring at me.
Eventually, I went to his hometown to visit, and was received a little
more graciously, but I started noticing how obsessive she was about
her "little boy." I knew she was kinda cooky because she called
his apartment several times a day - long distance. A few new
things I picked up were that she is the only one that knows what her
"little boy" likes to eat, likes to wear, or likes to watch on TV,
even if that was 20 years ago.
We decided to get married because, despite his crazy mother, he is
a wonderful person, and we have a great relationship, although she
is putting a huge strain on things. As a sidebar, I must tell
you that at the rehearsal dinner, she once again glared at me all
night, started crying at the table, and then had my husband leave
our dinner to drive her back to her hotel room! What class!
After several failed attempts at finding a job in the City, he informed
me that he was offered a job in his hometown, and there was a job
that I could take as well. On top of this, his grandparents,
on many occasions, had offered to buy us a house if we moved there.
I told my husband that I would rather struggle and do things on our
own like normal people do, than move there where his whole, overbearing
family lives. I lost that round, so we moved from the City to
his very small town, which is now 5 hours away from my family.
Not long after we moved, we discovered that both of our jobs fell
through - wonderful. My husband was forced to work at his grandparent's
business, which he enjoys, but most of his day is actually spent catering
to his mother's wants and needs. I, however, have no job, no
friends within a 200 mile radius, and a telephone that rings off the
wall with my MIL's voice on the other end. If my husband can't
do something for her, then she asks me. She also enjoys doing
little things, like cooking dinner for us and telling me at 5:00,
after I have already started our dinner - because, "I didn't think
that you could cook." I guess I also need to explain that her
love is conditional. She will buy things for us and do things
for us, but we better do everything she wants in return. A few
weeks ago, things got kinda rocky between my husband and his mom.
I knew something was up because he was coming home from work at 5:00
rather than the usual 8:00, after his long day of mowing, gardening,
running errands for her. Finally, he told me that he had had
it with her and they had a huge fight.

Love" in your response.
RESPONSE: In response to conditional love:
What a controlling winch you are dealing with!! Your first instincts
were right when you wanted to do things on your own without her help.
She is using the things she does for you and your husband, and the
things she gives to you both, to control you into doing what she wants.
You haven't been married long, so it's a good time for you to set
the record straight. YOU are in control, and don't forget it.
What she doesn't understand is that her actions towards you can drive
a huge wedge between MIL and son. The more *issy she is to you,
the more she is driving a wedge! DIL's have a lot more control
than they sometimes give themselves. You must stop playing into
her hand of her trying to control your family. When he's late
for work because of her, that's taking away time from his family (immediate).
What happens when you decide to have children? Will he be over
at his mommy's babysitting her? You are a wise woman to read
the writing on the wall early!! Fight to get your husband back
-- You can win, but don't ever give up. And don't ever give
MIL any foothold over you. If that means you eat rice and beans,
do it! As long as you accept gifts, dinners, jobs, etc., then
she will have some control. Try your best to cut all ties, then
she'll be thankful for what time YOU do decide to spend with her.
She is very manipulative, so be careful!!! I also suggest you
stay on your husband's tail about how she treats you, and has ignored
you, etc. Sometimes they need this pointed out to them (over
and over). I bet he wouldn't want anybody else treating his
bride like this, so why is it ok for MIL to do it?? I wish you
the very best!! You have a lot more control than you think,
because you can take away her control, and then, she'll be singing
your song, honey!! Hang in there!! YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!
6/28
RESPONSE: This is in reference to "Conditional Love".
I think I know how you feel, trapped. Your husband sounds like
a good sort, but he must feel torn, because not only does he have
the usual responsibilities, they have also found a way to make him
dependent on them. You two need to talk. Find out if maybe
you could both put your educations to better use elsewhere.
You need some freedom from these people. The mother just sounds
so clingy and grasping. I don't think there is too much you
can do about it, and going against her won't help. Avoiding
her is the only way to go. Move if you can. Things will
get much worse if you have a child. I was in a similar situation
in my first marriage. His dependency on his parents and their
money got so bad, I went to school, got a job, and left on my own.
I don't see this happening to you, though, because your husband just
sounds like he is really put-upon, and would probably like to get
out of it as badly as you do. Keep your chin up, but read those
want ads for outlying cities and suburbs!
6/28
RESPONSE: Re: Conditional Love:
If your Grandparents-IL have not bought you that house, I would sit
down with hubby and have a long talk about moving back to the city.
It is unfair that you're totally pulled away from family, friend's
and life as you know it, to move to his hometown where you know nobody.
I like an adventure as much as the next person, and getting to know
a new place, but I'd also want to put my education to use. Talk
to him now, before you two get too enmeshed in that life. He
may already be regretting the decision to move back there.

My mother in law is the
greatest b*tch that ever lived. She ripped off my girlfriend
for tens of thousands of US $. She claims that I am even worse
than Satan himself. [expletive deleted] the b*tch!

The first time I met my
MIL, I was informed that she knew nothing of me, and that my now husband
never mentioned me. When we got engaged, the woman sent to my
husband a book with the first chapter entitled, "Common Mistakes
in Selecting Your Mate". When my husband confronted her,
she stated that she didn't know it was that kind of book. THE
WOMAN WORKS AT A BOOK STORE. She knew what she was doing!!.
I should have realized that this was only the beginning. My
husband and I are going on our 6th year of marriage, and I, to this
day, can not understand what makes my MIL tick.

My boyfriend and I have
been together for close to 4 years. We have two kids.
I know we should get married, and even though we have the commitment
of having our children, we don't feel we are ready for the commitment
of marriage. I know this sounds crazy, but it is true.
But anyway, my story about his mom is that she hated me when we started
dating. She wanted him to be with his ex-girlfriend, who was
a good friend of hers. He would tell her that he wanted to be
with me, and she would say all kinds of things to him to try and keep
him away from me. She told him that she would pay his bills
for him if he would come back home, and things like that. She
made sure that I knew that I was very unwelcome at her house, so I
got to where I wouldn't go there. After a while, my BF got to
where he wanted me to go, but he didn't want to make me feel like
I had to go or anything. He would never make me go somewhere
I didn't want to be. I went a few times, but not very often.
Then I got pregnant, and she would tell people that she didn't believe
it belonged to my BF because the doctor told her he would never have
kids. I didn't say anything, I just stayed away from her.
We had our own place about an hour away from her, but I always included
her in our plans for the baby. I invited her to the baby shower,
but she made up some excuse not to come, and never even bought anything
for the baby. My BF called her when I went into labor, and she
didn't come. The baby was about two weeks old before she decided
she wanted to see the baby. She called to see if she could see
her, so we took the baby to see grandma for the first time.
After she saw her, MIL decided she did belong to her son, and wanted
us to move in with her so she could baby-sit. I was totally
against the idea, and my BF and I argued about it for about a month
or two, but he won and we moved in. Everything was fine to start
with. She was nice to me, and she babysat the baby while I worked.
But then, she started taking her over.

I know I have the worst
MIL on earth. Her 1st hubby committed suicide after 22 years
of marriage, and she went through several hundred thousand dollars
of insurance money the following 2 years. Then, she hooks up
with this man on probation and marries him and moves far away with
him, and he continues to break the law, and she says she doesn't know
about it, but I really doubt it. Now he's in jail, and she has
moved back here (I guess to make us miserable) and everything she
touches turns to crap. She goes through money like water, and
is about to run out, making her more desperate in what she'll do.
Her mother now has cancer and is mentally incompetent, but my MIL
got Power of Attorney of her and is running through the last of the
money. My MIL is filing for bankruptcy, if that tells you anything
about how responsible she was w/her own money. I doubt Granny
even gets a decent burial! She found out that Granny gave her
house to us, and now she's brow beating the poor cancer stricken woman
about how, "She gave away the house that was supposed to be hers,"
and about how, "It's just not traditional to leave the house
to the grandchild." And she's going around bad mouthing
me and my hubby about all of this. She is also saying that she
is going to sue when Granny dies, to try to get the house, and it's
not even worth enough to sue over. I have never met anyone with
a MIL that was this bad. I guess I came to this sight to make
myself feel like I'm not so alone. Please respond.

***NOTE: Please feel free to respond to this (using our
mother-in-law stories submission page) if you
have any advice to share. Reference this story as "House
Left To Grandchild" in your response.
RESPONSE: To "House Left To Grandchild".
Well, hon, I deeply sympathize with you. But if your Granny
made her Will while she was mentally competent, and it was properly
witnessed and all, I don't think your MIL would have that much of
a chance in court. "Tradition" is not going to cut much ice
with the judge. Any sensible lawyer would talk her out of trying.
And remember, suing costs money, and a lawyer, no matter how corrupt,
is not going to be too thrilled with a bankrupt client. She
may well just be bluffing. As for being badmouthed, sometimes
you just have to say, "Do I really care about the opinions of the
sort of people who would believe HER?"
6/27
RESPONSE: House Left To Grandchild
The grandmother's wishes should be carried out, irregardless of the
MIL wishes. The last days of the Grandmother should be spent
in a happy atmosphere where there is an absolute "O" tolerance on
bickering. This should be at the top of the PRIORITY list.
I would express this idea, and that is all that I would lend myself
to discuss. Then, when all things are passed; then, I
would discuss the problem of the selfish MIL. The main thing
now is to keep a "cool" head, and not say or do anything that you
will later regret.
Right now concentrate on making the last days of the Grandmother as
happy and comfortable as possible.
6/28
CONTINUATION: Continuation of "House left to Grandchild"
I so much agree with the response that recommended that there should
be a zero tolerance for bickering. However, as long as MIL is
in the picture it just won't happen. I think MIL would love
to rush her to her grave just so there'll be more money left over
for herself. When Granny was given 6 months to live, she did
pretty well for a couple of months, but then worsened, and didn't
want her daughter to stay with her because she has been known to take
Granny's pain medicine. Granny also thought MIL would go through
her things and take what she wanted. So, my husband and I, and
our 3 month old baby, moved only our essentials to her house (we live
about 5 min. away) and I stayed with her and took care of her for
a while. She was doing really good mentally for about 5 out
of the 7 weeks we were there. Around the second week is when
the Hospice nurse thought she may have to go in the hospital due to
a blockage. She told us that she was not going until she had
the house taken care of and given to us. So, she called the
retired judge who still works as a lawyer that she has known for 30
years, and had him come and draw up donation papers. Well, as
luck would have it, the MIL comes in when the lawyer is there. I tell
MIL that Granny is taking care of some of her business, MIL leaves
and calls Granny and says, "You're cutting me out of the will.
I love you, I want to take care of you." Granny tells her
that she didn't cut her out of any will, but donated the house to
us and gave Grandpa use of it until he dies. Well, that totally
set off MIL b/c, remember, she's an only child, and since her hubby
went to prison a year ago, she's desperately trying to get back her
lavish lifestyle she had. Well, about 3 weeks after she left
us the house, Granny did start deteriorating mentally at a very fast
rate, and wouldn't know where she was, and thought her mother was
still alive, etc. MIL would go for days without seeing her mother,
and was really angry at her for giving us the house.

I have been with my boyfriend
for seven years now, and we have a 5 yr old daughter. We have
still not decided whether or not to get married. I think his
mother has something to do with his decision. She is very rude
and hateful all the time. For example, when they have cookouts,
I am invited because every one else is coming, so I might as well
be there too (as she always says). And with holidays I receive
unwanted things around her house while her other son's girlfriend
gets new gifts.
As for our daughter, MIL tries to play games. MIL will tell
her dad that she will pick daughter up from daycare, letting on that
she already told me about it. And this comes from a woman that
sees her granddaughter 1X a month, if even that much. Then,
when she does, their main subject to talk about is that her other
soon to be daughter in law is having a baby too.
She also constantly is making remarks about me or my family.
When I was pregnant, she used to tell me it was no wonder her son
wouldn't take me anywhere, "Just look at you."
And, to this day, she always says, "I love you all in a different
way." But I don't believe a word she says, due to the fact
that, when it comes to us, she wants to give old ragged out furniture
to us while she buys his other brother new furniture.
These are only a few things that she has done. Believe me, there
is more.

Note: This
story is repeated from last week (including all responses) due to
recent receipt of an additional response.
My MIL was so nice and thoughtful before her son and I were married.
Now, we have a 4 1/2 month old, and it seems ever since his birth
- my MIL has turned into somebody I don't know. She is critical
of EVERYTHING - and is constantly making little remarks here and there
that are just eating away at me. My husband totally takes up
for his mother, and downright has yelled at me to never speak a word
against his mother, and that I am being nit-picky. A few things
she is doing are as follows: she practically demands to know
EXACTLY what I have fed him that day; demands to know why he
isn't asleep or how much he has slept that day; is constantly
calling him fat all the time, and talks about the fact that she thinks
he is too big, and that her son was never that big; picks on
the clothing I put on him; stops by the house unannounced, and
if I am not to the door fast enough she uses her key to enter;
snoops about the house to find WHATEVER she can to gripe about, i.e.
why there are two jars of peas open, surely I didn't feed them both
to the baby; or why I have diet pills - that is no good for
me; gripes about any new toys I buy the baby; the list could
go on and on. My reason for submitting my story is for some
advice. I don't know how to deal with her - I am getting to
the point that I dread her coming around - if I mention ANYTHING at
all about my MIL to my husband - he turns into a totally different
person - very defensive, and we end up arguing. There is no
way to approach this subject - there is a real control issue here,
and no one seems to be listening to me. Help - advice??????

***NOTE: Please feel free to respond to this (using our
mother-in-law stories submission page) if you
have any advice to share. Reference this story as "Two
Jars of Peas" in your response.
RESPONSE: "Two Jars of Peas"
I'm not married, to begin with, but I've got to deal with the mother
of my boyfriend for 7 years. No problem at all, I really get
along with her. When I read these kind of letters I get really
angry about it. "My mother in law demands blabla ... my mother
wants blabla..." If she demands to know what your child has
eaten that day ... that's not her business. Why bother telling
her? It's not only the mother in law that is the problem, it's
about you feeling strong about yourself that's important. When
you know you're doing the right thing, why do you need her approval?
It's your life. You can live it like you want. And, if
the husband thinks she's nice, and all that, well let him spend some
time with her, so you don't have to do that. Just don't do things
you're not comfortable with, or don't spend time with people who you
don't enjoy. Negative people will eat your energy if you let
them. It will not be easy all the time, but at the end you're
the winner because you found you own peace of mind. IT'S YOUR
LIFE, YOU DECIDE!!!!!
6/14
RESPONSE: This is a response to "Two Jars of Peas"
Your MIL sounds a lot like my own. She is always trying to tell
me how to raise my son. I just smile and say, "I understand
that you have experience raising boys, and I'm always willing to at
least listen to your advice, but I need to raise MY son MY way."
It aggravates the heck out of her.
As for calling your son fat, I would be tempted to be more confrontational
by asking her what a 4 and 1/2 month old baby could possibly have
done to her to deserve her rude comments, and perhaps tell her you
refuse to starve your child just so he meets her standards.
As to the issue of her coming into your house using her key, I would
try to talk your husband into changing the locks, and not giving her
a key, on the excuse of security reasons. If he insists that
Mommy has to have a key, maybe try for a chain lock. If your
husband won't allow any sort of lock to be added, maybe buy one of
those security bars that go under the doorknob and the end props on
the floor, that are made to keep doors from being opened.
If your husband gives you a problem with any of the above, maybe give
one of your family/friends a key and have them do the same thing your
MIL does at a time that is inconvenient for your husband!
6/14
RESPONSE: Response: "Two jars of peas"
I don't know how you put up with that woman! Has she got a bee
in her bonnet, or what? When she demands to know what your baby
ate that day, just tell her, "Well, for starters, he ate almost a
whole bag of marshmallows. Then he polished that off with a
quart of Ben & Jerry's very cherry Jerry Garcia. And, for
lunch, you should have seen him put away the mashed potatoes!
Of course he won't eat them unless I put a whole stick of butter in
them." ... You get the point ... Then, in your silly mommy voice,
tell the baby, "Mommy loves her little roly-poly bundle of joy, doesn't
she? Yes she does!!" Of course, don't say this all the
time. You don't want to give your little sweetie a complex or
anything. As for the 'ol bat waltzing in your house on her own,
always make sure you have a bunch of noisy, irritating toys &
things piled up in front of the doors so that she will have to hurdle
them on her way in. You know how she hates those toys you get
him anyway! Don't put up with that crap. It's not healthy
to keep this bottled up inside. It's a shame that your husband
can't stick up for you. I guess that bee is hereditary.
When she throws smarta** comments at you, throw them right back.
Sure, I know that's not the right way to handle it, but if nothing
else works, what have you got to lose except your sanity? Something's
got to give. Hang in there!

RESPONSE: In response to "Two Jars of Peas"
Security is a great reason for no one to have a key to your house.
After I had my son, I was recovering from a c-section, and didn't
get around the house 'til the afternoon. I would barricade me
and my baby upstairs, and we both slept. One day, in the middle
of the afternoon, I heard someone coming in. I immediately grabbed
the gun and went to the top of the stairs. I finally discovered
that it was my mother and father coming from out of town to visit,
but I didn't know they were coming because I hadn't checked the answering
machine that day. It scared them too, and now they make sure
I know when they are coming, and they don't rely on the answering
machine. I suggest you change the locks. As for the "fat"
baby - thank God that your baby is at a healthy weight. There's
not a more pitiful sight than to see a skinny baby that looks and
sounds like a screaming pterodactyl. You can always blame your
husband for the toys by saying, "Oh, his daddy wanted him to have
that," or, "his daddy got that for him". Best Wishes.

RESPONSE: Two Jars of Peas:
The best thing you can do is not push your husband to choose sides.
That never works, and you will soon feel like the odd man (woman)
out. Simply be a good wife and mother to the best of your ability.
Remember ... mothers-in-law start trouble to cause a rift between
you and your husband. Don't let her win. When she tells
you her son looks fat, simply say ... "Well, I still think he's
sexy ." That should shut her up.

It worked for me when I was able to convince my husband that he needed
to choose sides and not "ride the fence" on everything!! He
sees more of her true colors every day and never believes anything
she says. Excuse me while I pat myself on the back!!

My son graduated from
kindergarten last month. On my son's birthday we showed everyone
the pictures from his graduation. I noticed some pictures sticking
out of my mother-in-law's purse and figured my husband had given them
to her. A few days later I went to put the photos in an album.
Not only were the best photos gone, but she even took the doubles.
To make matters worse, she never even asked my husband if she could
have them.
