Hi, I'm desperately in need of some advice! My partners mum is really doing my head in!! She's manipulative, a liar, always the victim, controlling, drinks wwwaaaayyyyy to much (the list is endless) and I have reached the end, I CANNOT stand it anymore!! We know that she always "spoils" her grandchildren when they go over (we have two boys 3-4 and 2-3) but she doesn't spoil them, she's ruining them!! They get EVERYTHING they want, no matter what it is, she's more than happy to splash the cash, but then tells lies about doing it all!! She even gets her husband and her 29 year old daughter to lie for her. Then yesterday our children came home after a day with them, and our eldest told us that theyhad A LOT to eat (they usually get the run of the fruit bowl, even though we have told them no!!) and this morning our youngest nappy was overflowing with loose poo!!! It was insane!!! He's fine now, but our eldest told us that his brother had LOTS of fruit yesterday, yet I know that if I ring and ask her she will say no he only had 1 piece of fruit!! I'm not stupid, I know what happens round there, usually someone will end up putting their foot in it and we find out anyway!! Or she will tell another member of our family to not tell us!! My partner is very angry at his mum, and he knows what she is like, he said that he always k we she would be like this with her grandchildren. I just want to walk away from her, shes so poisonous and she is not doing any good to our children.

Simply don't leave them with her again.
Problem solved.

I know, that’s what we’ve talked about. It’s very difficult coz she’s sssoooo difficult, we’ve tried to approach her with thing she before and she throws a right hissy fit etc, and she’ll send her hubby round saying she’s really sorry etc she just loves us all so much etc etc, but we’ve reached the point where we’re just like “bulls*” you are just a selfish human being.

The balls in your court. Dont allow your MIL to control the situation. Stop sending the children around and if she pleads to see them and sends around FIL Tell them no. Its as simple as that. These visits are not good for your children. Cut down or stop the visits by all of you for your peace if mind
