Worst thing your in-laws have ever said or done to you?

That’s a new MN low.

Evicted me and their GD from the home we rented from them in order for their DS (Dd's dad), to move his OW in.

Im sorry to be inappropriate, but that made me laugh. She's insane!

On my birthday, when I was 2 months postpartum, they got me bathroom scales!

I think when I divorced my H, I was happiest of cutting her out of my life.

I could never do a thing right in her eyes.

I should have known it would not be great when we first met she said out loud in front of me 'nice enough girl, but it won't last'. And because we did get married (after 8 years!), she hated that could possibly be proven wrong.

At our wedding she told me that I should not have such a beautiful friend as a bridesmaid as she 'completely took the focus off you' with a smirk.

When my children were born, I could never do a thing right. No matter what. She even took H aside once and told me that I was feeding ds too many Weetabix for breakfast 😂 The kid was on Ritalin for Adhd (which was my fault too) and so he would have two Weetabix without fail for breakfast, as he would lose his appetite soon after. Nope, two was too many. God it was ridiculous. Just constant things like this, but they can wear you down.

But the nail in the coffin was when I went through a very bad time and actually ended up hospitalized after having a breakdown after finding out about his affair. And he lied and lied and lied about it, which I think was worse than the affair. She told me to grow a pair and what did I expect as I am just a useless wife anyway.

I have never forgiven her for that. I was going through such a hard time because of him as it was.

I heard that she has since moved on with her wrath to my ex bil now, her daughters husband. As I am now out of the picture she had to find someone else to look down on and berate.

Toxic, toxic, toxic.

(my stomach was churning just typing this and thinking back about her).

The worst i ever heard was said to my best friend's mum. I have some from mine ranging from outrageous to evil but this was worse i think.
BF's DF was an only child. BF's eledest sibling died during childbirth. Her MIL walked into the hospital and said, to her DIL hour's later, "i suppose I'll never be a grandma now." Then she walked out.

My mil came to within an inch of my face on my wedding day and spat out 'now you're a (surname) maybe you'll follow the rules'! She spent the rest of the day deliberately treading on the back of my dress. She's been a delight ever since 🙄

Mine told me I shouldn't have any more kids as I couldn't cope with the ones I had. I had PND.

Told my mother, who I have had no relationship with since I was under two, the names of all my children and fuck knows what else.

Treats my middle child differently form the others. As her dick head of a son does.

Divorced her son. In a few weeks I'll be moving 100s of miles away and won't see her or him again.

I could always tell mine didnt like me but i thought in the end we got on well. I was unfailingly nice even though she used to serve us home baking full of hair, human and dog, and freely had coughing fits all over food, into the fridge etc. We shared crafting hobbies and things so i thought we were making it work. However, beford the wedding there were muttered snide remarks about sending me home and when i split from her abusive shit of a son the first thing out of her mouth was 'well, i never liked YOU anyway'.

Telling us on the phone baby DS had bulimia because he was throwing up after meals and he would need to be sectioned when he's older because we're enabling him..
He had reflux!!
Might have said a few home truths back on the phone

To be fair that's an OK way to view the death of someone and whether or not she had a good relationship with her father lots of people react this way. And explains why she didn't want to go to the funeral. I imagine there's quite a lot more going on as well.

My ex in-laws ruined our wedding photos - FIL had his hands in his trousers pockets on every picture and MIL wore the same coat that she went shopping in! They weren't short of money either and she could have easily afforded something nice to wear for the only sons wedding.

If its Catholic baptism anyone who is confirmed can perform a baptism in an emergency .

I’m so sorry, that’s awful

This is awful story - genuinely awful in laws - am so sorry x

That's insane.

Broadcast baby news after miscarriages when we had asked her to keep it quiet.

Broadcast a very secret promotion of mine she had been asked to keep quiet - she told friends of hers I’d never met before members of my family knew.

Told me she didn’t like DS’s name and wanted us to go with one she had chosen.

Massively outstayed her welcome the day after we got home from hospital and was sarcastic and goady when DH b politely suggested it might be time to go (about 7 hours later)

Continually rang throughout the day when DS was a newborn despite being asked not to.

Telling me that she had never considered me to be a part of her family.

Ringing throughout family holidays.

Constantly changing the landscape as to food she likes and dislikes.

Refusing invites to attend events and then asking why she wasn’t invited.

All MIL. She could try the patience of the most saintly saint.

In laws begged and pleaded with us to move to their city. They wanted a close relationship with their gc our dc. Both retired and wanted to give childcare to our dc while we worked to help us. Dh was keen and as i had no parents and my only family (siblings) were doing their own thing I eventually agreed to the move. We found a house, dh transfered with his job but I had to give notice, but luckily found a good job in the new city. We move and settle in. The day before I start my new job in laws inform us that actually they cannot give any childcare as sil is now pregnant and they will need to prioritise her.

I scramble to find nursery/child minder to no avail. Lose my job. We can't afford the new higher rent in this city. We have to move again. It was so stressful and nearly broke us in every way.

I learnt a lesson though.

Me and DH were on a boat trip with PIL. DH gave me a hug. Someone asked MIL who I was. She said she didn't know.

BIL and SIL told my MIL the baby wasn't my DH when I was pregnant.

When baby was born looked exactly like DH. MIL didn't like the name we chose so called her a different name for a month 🤣.

Saw we bought a new appliance, when she found out how much it was she started crying saying she was so poor she had to get pennies together to buy milk. A total lie!

Accused me of turning DH into a white person (he isn't English, I am)

Forced me to host and cook for a religious day then refused to eat it because I didn't cook what she wanted me to.

Need I say more as to why I am NC!!

When we were first dating I visited DH (then bf) at his parents house and when it got time to take me home bf car wouldn't start. Was a 20 minute drive back to mine, no direct buses and it was late evening/dark. BF asked his dad if he could borrow his car (he said yes). His mum pipes up "the car is half mine and I say no".

Also during those early dating years DH took me to an expensive hotel for my birthday. His dad said "that's the most expensive shag you'll ever have" in front of me.

MIL wore a white dress to our wedding.

When we had issues conceiving she would bring me lots of articles about female infertility, even though she knew we'd found out DH had a very low sperm count.

First pregnancy ended in a MMC. The day after I'd had an op to have it removed, DH had to collect MIL and bring her over our way as she was having a make up trial before her DDs wedding. She walked in and saw all the cards and flowers (she'd arrived empty handed). On her return she thrust some flowers at me that had obviously been bought at the local garage.

Two weeks later she expected me to drive 20mins to pick her up, then drive a further 45 mins to take her to her DDs hen night, drink nothing and do the return trip in the early hours. Fortunately I could use my recent miscarriage and not feeling up to it to decline. She was furious.

Took our two DDs out for the day to a local stream with FIL on a hot day and didn't keep the youngest (2yo) topped up with sun screen. Toddler was pale skinned and came back with bright red sunburn on her back 😡

There were loads more. She hated that I'd taken her precious boy away from her.

Well my (thankfully) ex mil decorated her spare room for my first born while I was pregnant. Lovely you might think but no, we lived 200 miles away and she'd done it so 'I could work full time and her look after her grandchild'

Apparently she'd be fine with me coming up to stay every weekend 😳

She later caused absolute carnage by suggesting she have a go at breastfeeding my sill's newborn.
The woman was an absolute nightmare!!

MIL on meeting her newborn baby grandson for the first time.

"Oh dear. You can tell he's got it!".

My youngest child has Down's Syndrome.

My MIL told DH that he couldn't marry me as I was a "scarlet woman" ,this was the 1970's and I had been married before. We married in a registry office, neither she or FIL attended. When we had our first DC she declared he was a "bastard" as we weren't (in her eyes) properly married. DH never took any notice of her, neither did I, as I told myself she was barking!
The gorgeous grandchildren softened her over the years
After her death FIL was changed man and we became quite close.
DH has been married to his scarlett woman. for 47years!

How long have you got?

Cried when we got engaged and said to DH “why did you do that?”

Announced to a group of people at a party that she wanted nothing to do with our wedding. Then said she was broke and couldn’t contribute, but then gave her DD 20k for her wedding.

Brought party favours, cigars for her side and handed them out to them.

Told everyone who’d listen that I don’t look like this normally, and that I was anorexic because I dropped a dress size for my wedding.

Told me on numerous occasions that I’m not family, that she’s sorry for me because DC look nothing like me, they get all their brains from her side, that I should consult them before I do anything because they have better taste. That her family don’t even know who I am as I am nobody, nothing to do with them.

And more recently;

What have we done to upset Bouncer? Why doesn’t she want to know us? Why aren’t we included? We don’t understand what her problem is?

Thing is, she didn’t break me, and I lost many battles, but won the war. I feel sorry for her other offspring. They are all deeply insecure and vain. They are like Cinderella’s step mum and his siblings the ugly sisters.
