Mil from hell

This is an add on from previous thread so if you’re new here hold on you’re in for a rough ride!

Here is a list of the worst things my mil has done:
•openly admitted our children will not get an inheritance (all other grandchildren will)
•spent her 10 minute wedding speech at my wedding talking about DH and a couple of sentences about his FW!
•referred to my daughter as IT for the first 2 weeks of her life. Apparently it was too difficult to remember to call her her (even though she had 4 granddaughters by this point)
•cries when my DH doesn’t sit next to her when we go to restaurants.

I could write a book…

@Georgeskitchen

Why wont your children get any inheritance?
Well the real reason is because she doesn’t like me. The lie she tells is that it’s because we have more than his siblings

Stop communicating with her. Tell dh you don't want her name mentioned in your home.

We had this agreement before we did go nc with her.
Been over 7 years.

In fairness, the 'parent speech' at a wedding is expected to be about 'their child'.

I just read your other thread OP. Not just a MIL problem, you have a DH one too.

Yeah, but not the first wife! That's just plain rude.

In the scheme of things, none of the above are 'from hell'.

Oh. I didn't read it as 'first wife'. I assumed 'FW' would mean 'future wife', as in, the OP.
Had that been clear, then yes, not great.

Oh no this was my wedding day not the rehearsal dinner or anything before. At the point of the speeches we were already married

I assumed future wife too! Is there context to mentioning her? I mean was it something positive?

Billandben444 · 21/02/2022 07:39

In the great scheme of things they sound like irritants more than anything else. She hasn't taken to you (yet?) and the feeling is obviously mutual so I'd ignore the digs, laugh them off and concentrate on my own little family. As to future inheritances - that's a carrot that could be dangled in front of all her children for years and be meaningless.

I read your other thread before it was deleted OP, how have the conversations gone with 'd'H today? I can't believe it. You deserve so much more
