Mother in Law

Why is it I dislike my MIL?
She tries to be nice but fails every time.
2 days after I gave birth she told me and my mother a story about a girl who gave birth and died a few months later.
The week I gave birth she came to visit and complained that we have no food, that she needs to eat every couple of hours or so.
She constantly talks bad about people I do not know (including her dead mother).
She is just so unpleasant and in my face!

Think you've answered your own question there.

Laila78 · 28/07/2020 05:56

Can you be more specific? Does it sound like what she said was a bit off?

Mines the same, slagging everything and everyone off, even her own family, mind boggles, I do everything to avoid her!

OMG
Also FIL is annoying me lately... he seems jealous that my parents visit. Thing is my mom is super helpful, she helps with household, always has food ready for when we come home from work etc, plus she s my mom. FIL always gets irritated that my parents visit, making side comments etc...
They never contribute in helping nor maybe for once inviting us for dinner when we do takeaway... it always us who have to think about their food . Now I don t expect zhem to clean, cook nor even ever pay for takeaways or dinners outside, but they SHOULD understand why MY parents are more welcome than they are, right?
Last tomime they came, FIL gave my baby a cookie (an adult one, not baby stuff), i politely said I would prefer him not to give him that, hmFIL ignored my wish totally!!! He continued giving my son the cookie! I was upset :(

My parents in law exactly the same, we were recently flooded so have had to move in with my parents, from 11th August, they haven't once invited us for dinner or looked after daughter. We asked if they could have her for a couple of hours 10-12 whilst we looked at flooring. I had to take my 20 month little girls lunch with us and they didn't offer us anything. If they had come to mine I would have offered lunch and they would have taken it. It gets worse but I won't continue as it makes me cross 😠

As for the food stuff , doesn't bother me as she rarely sees them and she's not that interested and I end up eating it 🤣 that that annoys them more !

Smile Totally understand you! 🤣

Only thing that REALLY annoys me is the FIL jealousy towards my parents! I mean, if you want to really help, then make yourself available useful and unstingy! Otherwise just accept the fact that my parents are invited more often 😤

My MIL is like this. Not a good word to say about anyone. I dread to think what she says about us!

naomi81 · 20/09/2020 10:24

Well we have been invited round for
Dinner tonight as it's oh birthday on Wednesday and we are going into lockdown on Tuesday , wish me luck. On the positive lockdown means we won't see them for a while. I will just be good and smile and nod as they slag everyone off 🤪 and drink wine 🤣
