Hi again, everybody.
Today, I walked into the house to find my husband on the phone with
my MIL. I know this is pretty mild, but does it drive anyone
else nuts when your MIL grills your dh about EVERY LITTLE THING?
"Did you go to the dentist?" "How much did it cost?"
Why does SHE have to know how much his trip to the dentist cost?
Oh, yes, and my favorite -- "Have you had your SHOWER yet?"
Jeez, lady, get a life!!!!

RESPONSE: In response to "Every Little Thing"
I know exactly how annoying it is. My mil is the same.
She'll ring up and ask dh, "What did you do at work today?"
or, "How's your car going?", "How's the dog?"
even. If he sounds asthma bound she even says she's coming over
to look after him, 'cos only she can make him well. Hey!!!!
I've got news for you lady ... and it's all bad!!! She has rung
up to find out about some dumb things ... e.g.. is it raining where
we are ... she lives 15 min's away, what mail did we get today, how
is our computer, the list goes on and on. Do what I do, go find
something else to do in another room while dh talks to her, and just
ignore the nosey parker.

RESPONSE: Response to Every Little Thing:
Hi. I do not have a good relationship with my in-laws.
They drive me nuts. However, IMHO, I don't think a mother asking
her son questions about the cost of a dentist visit (though that is
an odd concern), or any other matter, is something that you should
interfere in. After all, he is her son. I have made an
effort, in the past 8 years of marriage, to stay out of my husband's
relationship with his mother. As long as she leaves me alone
and doesn't ask me intrusive questions, I don't care what she asks
him. His relationship with his mom is his alone. I don't
want to take his mother's place in his life, nor do I want to intrude.
I just had a son last summer. I hope I won't be an intrusive
MIL when
he grows up, but I also hope I will be able to talk to him about anything.
Though I hope to learn from my in-laws and not intrude on his marriage.
Cheers and best of luck!

RESPONSE: This is in response to Every Little Thing.
I thought my mother-in-law was the only one who did that. I've
gotten her to go from telling my hubby what to do to saying, "May
I make a suggestion?" It's a step up. Recently, she's
been on him about getting his haircut. Now, when I met my hubby,
he had hair down to his waist, and then had to cut it for his job.
Well, he's no longer with that job, and his new one doesn't really
care about the length of his hair. I got hollered at for encouraging
him to grow his hair. The man is 31 years old! It's his
decision. Besides, he looks sexy with long hair. I finally
said to her, "I'm the one who has to sleep with him, so it's really
my opinion that matters, not yours." She shut right up!

My MIL trouble began at
the wedding (she wore black). She wanted to help us by paying
for the photographer. It turns out, the photographer was really
just her friend who liked to take pictures. Her friend sent
MY pictures to my MIL, who two months later gave me copies of the
ones she "thought I'd like" (though they were all quite bad).
The others are in her own photo album. There are also as many
pictures of my MIL's niece (the flower girl) as there are of me.
My MIL lives 1500 miles away; to visit her costs over $1000 just for
plane tickets. We simply cannot afford this. She pays
for our tickets (I admit this is very generous) but on the condition
that only she can make the travel arrangements. We tell her
which days we can travel, but according to her the only flights available
are a day or two before we can make it, and a day or two after we
have to leave. How convenient. Then, after 8 hours of
traveling, she yells at us for confining our worn out children to
their car seats. We should let them climb around the car.
She gets angry if we don't stay with her, or even if we just visit
other relatives for too long. She has even gotten angry with
my husband for taking days off of work. He should be saving
them up for his visits to her. She won't visit us because it's
such a long flight and she feels cramped in our home. Then after
every visit is the dreaded tearful phone call about how lonely she
is. She actually didn't wash the sheets the baby slept on for
a year, because she wanted to smell him.
For the birth of our second child, I invited her to come to our home
to help out after the baby was born. Unfortunately, our baby
was born with life-threatening problems and couldn't be released from
the hospital. So, when I went home my husband stayed with him.
My MIL came up with the excuse that I really didn't need her help
with my 2 year old, because he didn't like her anyway. Thanks
to her I spent my first painful day at home babysitting. A month
later when we knew the baby was going to die, the hospital gave us
a room to stay in so we could be nearby. She wouldn't go to
a hotel, instead staying in our room snoring so loudly that I had
to spend the night in a chair in the lobby. Afterward, she called
us every day for a month because she couldn't handle her pain.
She needed to express all of her theories on why this had happened
to us, and there was just no one else to talk to. I guess her
own husband was no help. And when we went to spread his ashes,
my husband started to hand the container to me and she tried to jerk
it away, because she wanted to see it. This was honestly one
of the most heartbreaking moments of my life. It got to be harder
to deal with her than with our own pain.
Whenever she needs help with whatever problem, she calls my husband
at work. If he's at home, she calls on his cell phone.
She has even gone so far as to ask him to fly with her across the
country, because she needed help moving boxes at a trade show.
She buys gifts, knowing that we've already bought for our children,
then gives them before we can. But she's very generous!
She has offered us land (next to hers), cars, jobs (working for her),
money, and even an apartment in her very own home, if only we will
move to be near her. My only crime toward my MIL is living far
away. I send pictures. I keep her updated on every tooth,
step, and milestone. (She's mad that she doesn't have copies
of our home videos too.) I've never been rude or disrespectful
to her, though she's the only person in my life that I really don't
get along with. On one occasion we tried to talk with her about
these problems. She says that we exaggerate or just plain denies
that these things have happened. Then she cries that she was
the best daughter-in-law in the world and it's not fair that she got
stuck with a bad one.
She is the only serious problem in our marriage. My husband defends
her endlessly, even though I know he sees through some of her games.
We survived the death of a child, but I sometimes wonder if we'll
survive her.

RESPONSE: Re: Surviving MIL
What a self-centered, controlling witch! I'm so sorry about
the loss of
your child. How horrible that must have been for you, dealing
with such a heartbreaking tragedy only to have her make it so much
worse by being a self-absorbed burden to you. Her reaching for
your child's ashes because she wanted to see them is just beyond inappropriate.
{{{Hug}}} Not to mention the other bizarre behavior you mentioned
-- sniffing baby's sheets for a year after he slept on them?
It's sad that your dh defends her after everything you've been through.
If anyone has the right to set a limit on how much of their MIL's
presence they will tolerate in the future, it's you!
10/13
RESPONSE: Re: Surviving MIL
Well, first you need to stop accepting bribes that look like plane
tickets. And, your husband needs a new spine. Also, your
MIL needs a life of her own, so stop giving her clues and bait.
Good luck, and make sure to read all the archives. Also, read
"Dance of Anger" (by Harriet Lerner, Ph.D.) because I think that both
you and your husband's reactions to her are fueling the fire.
Really, good luck to you.
10/13
RESPONSE: In response to "Surviving MIL":
Yours is one of the saddest stories I've heard. I am so sorry
for the loss of your baby. Being the mother of four girls, I
cannot imagine the grief of losing a child. Yours must be a
strong marriage to have survived thus far. Your mother-in-law
sounds like a miserable, jealous woman. She should be grateful
her son married someone like you. I would tell her the same
thing I've taught my children (that my mother taught us) ... If you
can't say something nice, don't open your mouth. The bible says
that a man is to leave his mother and father and cleave to his wife
... what was this woman's mother-in-law like? It sounds as if
she needs some self-made happiness in her life, and needs to stop
stealing yours!!!!!

My mother-in-law and I
have not gotten along since the day we met. My husband and I
have been married 4 years and have a 2 1/2 year old son, and a baby
on the way. Last Saturday night we were planning to go out to
a movie and leave my son at my mother's house. Well, as my husband
is walking out of his office to come home the phone rings and it's
his mother. Calling to ask if he can hurry and come to her house
because her water heater has leaked and flooded her living room (which
we had just went up there 2 days earlier and shampooed her carpet
for her). So he comes home and says that is where he is going
and our plans are cancelled. Well, I went with him and took
my son too because I knew if I didn't she would keep him at her house
all night. My son went to sleep in the back room and my husband
began helping her move furniture and sucking the water up out of the
carpet and padding. After he had stopped for a break she just
starts talking about how she is mad because I don't call her by what
she wants to be called, my choices ... Mom or Miss "X" (her
name). Needless to say, I don't like either one, I would rather say
just "X". I am an adult, so why should I say Miss?
She is family. We should be on a first name basis, right?
Naturally, I won't call her Mom. She is going on and on saying
that she is my elder, and she will always be above me, and I should
respect her and call her by what she wishes. Of course, I am
the type of person who is hard to get along with, too. It is
my way or no way. I then told her I would just say, "Hey you!"
to her, then. She didn't care for that. She then starts
yelling that she is mad 'cause I don't refer to her as anything, I
don't call her by any name. True. Cause she is so picky about
what to call her. Then she starts yelling very loudly that I
don't come visit her often enough, (she is 40 min. away), and that
she wants me to be the daughter she never had and have this loving
relationship with me, but I do not want that. She thinks I should
visit once a month, and I probably should.

I am now divorced, but
I had a VERY bad relationship with my mother-in-law. It first
started when I had been married for only 3 months. My husband
started beating me and running off for weeks at the time. She
would take his side and tell me that I needed to keep my mouth shut
and not ask him where he had been. She would tell me that basically
I got what I deserved for opening my mouth. I might add that
he beat me through BOTH of my pregnancies by him also and she ALWAYS
took his side. At one point he told me that if I couldn't get
along with his mother that he would divorce me. All her meddling
would cause me and her to get into fights, sometimes leading to PHYSICAL
fights, to just defend myself.
The straw that broke the camels back, so to speak, was when I got
sick and had to have surgery. She offered to take the kids to
her house to care for them until I recovered. I reluctantly
allowed them to go. Her boyfriend, and also his 13 or 14 year
old nephew, was staying with her at the time. A few months later
when we got our children our son started talking about the nephew
doing things to him. My mother in law talked to the nephew and
just blamed it off on my 3 year old son being too little to know what
he was saying. Later, my son brought it up again. We (my
husband and I) called the police and made a report. I even had
to take my children to the doctor for exams, which was horrifying.
As we left the doctor's office she (the mother-in-law) told me that
the boy had NEVER touched my son. A couple of days later I got
a call from the detective on the case who then told me that she had
taken the boy to social services where he had written out a full confession,
admitting to sexually abusing my 3 year old son, and she had written
a statement saying that it was true and correct and that is what the
boy had told her too. The detective then told me that that was
all they needed, and they were taking him to court. But she
had taken the boy in to write this confession DAYS BEFORE she ever
went with me to take my children to the doctor. DAYS BEFORE
she told me that the boy NEVER touched my son. She KNEW he did!!!
She took the boys side right up 'til he got put away until 18 years
old. Years later I found out that she was not only still writing
to the boy, but also VISITING him! She still, to this day, swears
that the boy NEVER touched my son, and that I told my son to say those
thing (which is VERY shocking). Since then, my now ex-husband
took the children and ran with them, and I didn't know where they
were for years. I didn't find out until I got sent divorce papers.
At that time, I wasn't very stable and didn't have the money to hire
a lawyer in another state. He ended up winning EVERYTHING ...
including the children. They (my ex and children) live with
my mother-in-law now, and I live every day in fear that they will
allow history to repeat itself.

My MIL just makes everything
we do sound so horribly complicated. When we were engaged, she
told us how busy we will be planning a wedding; how there are
so many details to consider; how hard it is to find a gown;
and how many things can go wrong. She made it sound like a nightmare
(which it became at times, thanks to her). When we started looking
at apartments, she told us how difficult it is to find a nice place
that we would be able to afford; how renting was a waste of
money; how rentals were dirty and you couldn't make any improvements
on them. When we found a place, she told us we would outgrow
it soon and need a house. When we were expecting a child, she
told us how much our lives were going to change; how children
get sick, don't sleep, cost a lot, cry, etc. Then, when we had
one child, she told us about how wrong it is to only have one child.
When we were having a second child, she told us how busy we will be
and how the first child will resent the second child; how they will
both get sick at the same time; how they will fight; how the youngest
will pick up all the older one's bad habits, etc. When we bought
a house, she told us how expensive a house is to maintain; how
time consuming it is keep up with: how things always break and
need expensive repair; how much it costs to decorate, and that
our furniture will not look right in the house; how awful it
is to live through construction and remodeling.
Even non-life changing events don't escape her negative comments.
I recently mentioned how I liked a certain vegetable dish and was
looking for a recipe for it. She told me that it was very difficult
to make as it required a lot of labor (even though she never made
it herself) and that she didn't think my husband and kids would eat
it.
It doesn't matter what topic you get onto, she has a problem for it.
What should I say next time she gets onto one of these downward spirals?

One of my children has
a birthday coming up, and the same old thing happened again, so I
was wondering if anyone out there has any words of wisdom for me.
Each time there is a gift giving occasion in one of my children's
lives, like Christmas, Birthdays, Graduations, etc., my in-laws ask
the children for a list of things they would like for the occasion.
They always happily comply and hand over a wish-list as any child
would do. During the holiday season, they would ask them for
a list for Santa. Then, when the occasion comes, the in-laws
do not buy them any of the items on the list. NEVER. When
they were very young, my children used to say that they didn't understand
why Santa did not bring them what they had asked for. My husband
and I would usually be sure to get a gift on the list that we were
sure that the in-laws would never get (for one reason or another)
and give it to them from Santa in order to avoid disappointment.
I think that what they do is very misleading to the children, as it
gives the impression that they are seriously intending to buy at least
one gift on the list if they have asked for these suggestions.
The whole thing seems very silly to me to do this to children and
then end up disappointing them.

A woman that I have known
most of my life recently passed away. It was a sudden death,
and I was very upset about it. MIL happened to visit shortly
after I got the news. When I told her why I was upset, she started
to point out why I shouldn't be upset about this loss. She reminded
me that there had been some problems between our families over the
years. There had been many good times too. I was upset
about the death and I just couldn't believe that anyone would try
to tell a person why they shouldn't be upset about a tragedy like
that. It was almost like she took it personally that I was upset
about someone else's death and tried to talk me out of it. Instead
of comforting me, all she did was aggravate me further. Did she really
think that she could talk me out of mourning someone by pointing out
that things hadn't always been totally smooth between us? After
she pretty much had an argument over the topic with me, she then told
me she had to go get her nails done, and left while I was sobbing.
I guess she's all heart.

My mother-in-law has been
doing something lately that is starting to bother me. Usually
she and I get along fairly well and she isn't offensive but we've
also never been the best of friends.
About a year or two ago, she told me that a snack I had put out had
gone "rancid" and needed to be thrown away. It tasted fine to
me, but I believed her and tossed it. Then, we had some Valentines
day candy around (not too long after the holiday) and she said that
we shouldn't eat it because it was stale. She came over for
dinner after that and said that she couldn't eat what I had made because
it was extremely salty and it was bad for her high blood pressure.
It did not taste too salty to my family, and I had not added any extra
salt to the dish specifically because of her health problems.
She came to brunch at my house when we had a celebration here and
she told me the cheese spread was spoiled. Then another time
she said that the chicken I was preparing smelled bad to her when
she came in and that we shouldn't eat it. I ended up making
scrambled eggs for dinner because I had nothing else available on
short notice. In addition, she once refused to drink some juice
I gave her because she said it was no good and that it must be old
(it wasn't, we had just purchased it).
I am not an expert on food safety, but I feed my family and other
guests all the time and none of us gets sick from my food, and no
one else who comes here ever "doesn't eat" because the food is bad.
I think she has something wrong with her taste/smell senses.
I am making thanksgiving dinner here, and I am just afraid that she
will announce that the bird has gone south and that we shouldn't eat
it.
I really don't know what to do. I would never want anyone to
eat something they are not comfortable with, but I really don't serve
tainted food to my guests. Any suggestions?

RESPONSE: Response to "Food good - MIL bad"
Have you considered that your MIL may have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder?
Does she wash her hands excessively? She sounds like she is
terrified of germs, to the point of obsession. You might want
to look into researching it. Has she had a period of high stress
or change in her life recently that coincided with her obsession with
germs? From what I've heard, OCD can be exacerbated with stress.
Good luck! P.S. It's her problem, regardless, not yours.
There's something wrong with her, whether it's a psychological disorder
or just being rude.
10/12
RESPONSE: Re: Food Good - MIL Bad
Does she do this to everybody? If so, tell those people that
it might be a medical problem, and hope that somebody closer to her
will carry through with that idea (take her to the doctor, check it
out, etc.). Quite often, people who have ulcers or other stomach
problems have bad breath, and consequently ruined taste and smell
sensations. Same for smokers. Also, as people get older,
their taste sensations get lost.
Then do your best to ignore her rude comments to you, but you already
know that ...
10/13
RESPONSE: This is in response to "Food good - MIL bad".
I too think your MIL has a problem. As many times as she has
done this to you, it's obvious. She either has a problem with
her senses, or could she possibly be doing this to try to make you
look bad? I know my MIL tries to put everything I do down, and
she acts like a pouty child if someone compliments my cooking, my
home, etc. She makes a really weird face, or announces something
wrong with what I've done because she can't stand that somebody else
might get a compliment. Whichever may be the case, I would not
dare let her ruin another perfectly good meal at your home.
When she gets on another kick just explain to her that the chicken,
or whatever, is very fresh and perfectly fine to eat. If she
doesn't want to eat it, fine, but serve it to everyone else anyway.
Tell her nobody has ever once gotten sick from eating your food.
If she tries to complain about it, firmly state again that you are
positive the food is fine and ask her if she could have a problem
with her taste and smell that would make her think fresh food is bad.
Please don't let her ruin your Thanksgiving! When talking to
her, be confident that your food is good and tell her to lump it if
she thinks otherwise. Good luck.

Day one at our wedding
reception, all my in-laws did not help bring food etc., but they sure
took it all!!! My husband and I went out of our way (out of
state), every other month, when one of my in-laws called for money
or help! Three times we took in his older brothers for a few
months. My sister-in-law questioned my pregnancy to her brother!!!!
These people are NOT right! After 9 years we moved back near
the IN-LAWS!! I knew our relationship would start to go down
the drain! Within 2 months, 1 brother had a DUI, his girlfriend
kicked him out ... of course he stayed with us 'til she took him back.
My husband is the youngest of all the kids and the only one to be
married the longest and to hold a job the longest. His mother
treats him the worst, and he is never in trouble with the law.
She is always helping the older sons always in trouble, etc.
It came to the point where I had to say, "your family or me"
(I said I would never say that)! He still helped them out, always
running here and there for them. Needless to say my husband
and I grew apart because of his family. My husband ended up
moving out TEMPORARILY, because we fight too much! He ended
up sleeping with his brother's girlfriend's daughter once. Well,
I found all calls made to a certain phone number and called it.
I hung up, called 1 more time, but did not have the courage to ask
anything so I hung up again. Well ... she had her phone tapped
and pressed charges against ME for harassment! She most likely
did this because he moved back in with me. So I have been to
a preliminary hearing, got offered an ARD ... no way! Next,
I went to the next court thing, she and the DA won't lower the charges
... so I decided to go in front of a jury and let them decide, or
take the ARD now????? Any suggestions? His family and
this girl are white trash! I am so humiliated by this ordeal!
Then I find out my MOTHER-IN-Law is babysitting for her!!!!!!!!
Oh, because they are friends! Sick!

From the first day my
mother-in-law met me she let it be known I wasn't the "Right" kind
of girl for her son. I was only 15 when I started dating my
husband, and he was 19. She told me that my family wasn't "well
off" enough for her son to be around! It only got worse
when our engagement was announced. She told her son IF you married
this girl instead of marrying "J" (The girl his mother was
friends with that he dated a short time) he would be dropped from
their will! Well, you can only guess at what he said to her!
Well, time went by and she wrote and called my parents many times
trying to call off the wedding. My parents just ignored her.
So, on the day of the wedding as I was getting ready to walk down
the aisle, she grabs me by the arm and says, "I will give you 10,000
to walk away from this wedding now, and another 10,000 later if you
stay away from my son!" My mouth just hung open.
I said, "Lady, I don't know what you have against me, as I have
never done anything to you nor have you even allowed me the kindness
to get to know you, or you to know me, over these past few years.
BUT, you can take your money and shove it where the sun don't SHINE!"
I didn't allow her meanness to ruin our wedding, and I didn't tell
my husband about what she said until many years after we were married.
Things got MUCH worse after we married. But I shall talk about
that at another time.

Evil Mother in Law
My mother in law is so evil I have to vent about her almost daily.
Whenever we talk she says something mean. Her attitude is really
bad. She thinks everyone is out to get her. When I met
my husband she would take advantage of me because I was so naive.
She tries to win my kids over me. When my 3 year old recently
had heart surgery, she told me her stepfather was coming to town to
help her, not me, because this was her grandson. It did not
matter that I was the parent having to deal w/ this, and had 3 other
children to look after, one of which was a newborn. She needed
him to stay at her house, not mine, so he could drive her teenage
kids around. It did not matter that my kids were better off
at home. It was more convenient for her to have them at her
house so he could help her watch them, and cart her kids around.
Please respond. She is such a ----- she makes me terribly sick.
She was a terrible mother to my husband also, and has two teenage
kids she treats totally different. She thinks she is the best
mom in the world to them, and often goes on about her other son like
she would like to marry him, it is sickening. She is not a good
mom to her daughter, but has managed to manipulate both kids to hate
me. I am the sweetest person and do nothing wrong, yet she has
made them all believe I am the problem. She just came down w/
a non curable disease. Maybe this is her payback, as bad as
that sounds. Love to hear a response

The sad part is, that "incurable disease" will probably be used to

I am so thrilled to know
that I am not alone in the battle of MIL's. I have only been
married two months, and was ready to throw in the towel a few weeks
ago because my MIL is completely unbearable. She is one of the
most inconsiderate persons I have ever met. Not only throughout
the planning of our wedding did she whine about losing her son, go
behind our backs to plan things, not pay for things that she had promised,
and stuck my parents with the bill, but she was rude and ugly to my
family and friends. I never said a word throughout the wedding,
my husband just wanted to keep peace. I thought, "this
has to end ..."
The first month we were married, she only called the house once.
She only calls my husband at work, thank goodness!! But, what
bothers me is that when she calls him, she whines about him being
married, and how she has lost him. He has asked her not to say
that, but she keeps calling him and only whining. For the holidays,
since my husband's family is definitely "extended", we decided that
I would pick one place I want to go and he would do the same.
We would alternate places each year, so no one is truly left out.
My MIL complained about that and made a comment about how my parents
come first with everything now. I am truly sick of her talking
about my parents. My parents love my husband and would do anything
for him. She should be happy that he is loved and accepted by
my family with open arms. My husband confronted his mother on
treating me with respect, and accepting the fact that we are married
and understanding that we come first over anyone in each other's lives.
She hung up on him, twice!! Then my SIL called, the very next
day, blessing him out for even saying anything to their mom, and talked
about me as if I didn't even live there. Any advice on how to
handle this situation if they do ever call us again!! I could
only be but so lucky!!!

My MIL is one of the kindest
and most considerate human beings on earth. I think that she
is aware of how self conscious I can be when others are overly indulgent
to my needs. As a result, she respectfully treats me like dirt.
What a nice woman!
