I am your mil

[TTC45]

OK ok

So I've seen a few of these before and they proper cracked me up.

I thought of it randomly today and decided to start one.

I promise that you that it is all entirely lighthearted and that I know that not all mil are bad ;)

So go on, ask me or tell me something?

For I am your mil.

So after 20 years of being my MIL:

why do you keep talking about people I don't know all the time?
Why don't you ever ask me anything about my job or even know what I do?
Why are you so controlling about food?
Why do you get into a huff if someone doesn't agree with your perspective / views / character-assassinations?
Why did you tell everyone (including a friend of a friend) stuff we told you in confidence when we explicitly asked you not to discuss with anyone else except your partner?
Ditto why can't you show an ounce of sensitivity for other people's feelings once in a while?

You’re a passive aggressive insipid woman and I despise you.

Why do you criticise your son so much? He's bloody brilliant and kind and thoughtful.

Your sons are all fucked up.

After 20 years you could perhaps spell my name right or remember my birthday.

I love you and thank you so much for raising your son to be the man he is now, no thanks to his Dad.
You are such a brilliant Nanny to our children and we’re so grateful for all you do.

There is one thing that infuriates me - how you tell us how unhappy and fed up you are with your partner yet don’t leave him. He treats you like shit, we can all see it. You’re an amazing person and you deserve so much more than that wanker. Please leave, you’ll be so much happier and we are always here for you.

You did a great job raising your son.😍. I wish you’d take some interest in your GC though. I don’t understand why you don’t want to spend time with them ( not now, obviously, but pre-pandemic. They hardly know you and their Grandpa.☹️

Without trying or even knowing it, you taught me everything I know about how to be a good mother and grandmother. And you loved me. I know because you told be so. I couldn't have wished for a more wonderful mother in law, and my daughters for a more adoring and loving grandmother. You brought up the most wonderful man, and I feel the loss of him every day.

You don't know me any more. The days when your face would light up when I arrived at your care home are gone. When I visit you, you don't really even notice that someone is sitting with you. But pre covid I could hold your hand and still feel your presence somewhere in there. I hope you felt my love somehow.

Now I can only see your face through a window.

Please treat your 3 children the same, I know you say you do but you honestly don't. You treat your eldest son like he's the King but you treat my DH like the odd job man. We only ever hear from you when you need something.

I am so sorry you died before meeting your first granddaughter. I hope you will be watching over her (and your grandson who you obviously loved lots) from heaven

When are you going to realise we have a life that sometimes excludes you and you cannot be part of everything we do? Stop trying to guilt your son into breaking rules just so you can get driven everywhere because you are a lazy fucker! Maybe put your hand in your pocket for your own shopping, tea out, medicines...the dotty old woman act doesn’t wash with me. You are a manipulative cunt and I can see through you!

You've worked very hard all your life taking care of your family.
It's time to take some care of yourself now & admit you can no longer look after FIL.
Please let all your dc in a little more & let them help you to make some of those difficult decisions.
I would love to see you have some freedom to do the things I know you enjoy while you can still enjoy them.
Please please stop trying to 'manage'.

Thanks for all you and FIL do for us. Please stop worrying you're going to upset me all the time. I love you both. Can't wait for Christmas with you, hopefully. Sorry SIL and BIL are both selfish bastards to you. Don't waste your time with them.

You are brilliant. You never overstep or control things, you are always supportive. You have been great to me when I have needed someone and my mum has been too busy. You are a wonderful MIL and did a good job of bringing up your son.

Dear MIL

I miss you so much. I was so lucky to have you in my life thank you

You need help, and a life. You are needy, spiteful, cruel, judgemental and have caused great damage to your sons and their families through your constant need for control.

This year has been great without you in it, not having to justify myself to anyone or answer to you. Not having to be constantly judged for being me or worried about you popping in to tell me how crap I am as a mother and wife. Have some self respect and realise that women are not just put on the planet to enable men to live their best lives, your son is vile to me because of your disgusting attitude.

I despise you and would have left your son a long time ago if I wasn't so worried about my kids having to spend extra time alone with you and your family were we to divorce.

Dear MIL,

I never told you this, but you know, long, thin, grey hair, long, unpolished nails, not eating and chain smoking don't make you look good at nearly 70. Such a shame you think otherwise. You look like an old tree. I bet your patients hated the way you put everyone down when you were still working for the NHS, too.

(No) love (lost),

DIL

I wish I'd got to meet you, you seem so lovely and you raised an incredible son. Seriously if he ever leaves me I'm done. They don't come kinder or more thoughtful than him. Your daughter is absolutely top notch too. Rest in power x

@MilfromHades

I will have you know my darling dear

I have actually created this idea all by myself

(Definitely not did not)

And the woke millenials will oft blame us and Margaret thatcher, and the hatred for mil is always un called for.

P. S my dil is awfully smart. As probs compared to yours.

[quote Coffeeandbeans]@DeliciouslyFemale - that made me well up. That was so very kind of you to say that to your husband. I hope if My sons are ever on that position they will have met someone like you who can understand the son and mother relationship which is just as important as the mother and daughter one. You are a beautiful person.[/quote]
Thank you that was a very kind thing to say. My husband and his huge amount of siblings all adored their wee mammy. She was the stereotypical wee Northern Irish mammy, that never let you leave the house without some home baked soda bread and apple crumble. But by blimey, she could give Mrs Doyle a run for her money, with her endless cups of tea. 🤣

My mother could well be the arsehole mil in this scenario.

After 20 years you could perhaps spell my name right or remember my birthday. Mine has no idea what my surname is and has never bothered asking when my birthday is. Diamonds, aren’t they?!

To my wonderful, kind, generous, welcoming Step MiL, thank you for treating my DH like your own, thank you for welcoming me into your home and making me feel like one of your family, thank you for getting that perfect balance of always being there with advice and support but never interfering. I miss you so bloody much.

Why is dh circumcised? When and how did it happen? He won’t ask you but I want to bloody well know.
Oh and please stop stroking his bottom when you cuddle him or put your arm around him it looks weird. That’s my bottom now.
