I hate my MIL more than anything in the world. She recently given my husband a jumper for his birthday present as usual. I felt extremely unpleasant to be toughed by the jumper when he hugged me. He would be very unhappy if I would be honestly - 'I dont want your clothes touches me because it's from your mum.' He's kept a big shiny present box. I dont know how he could leave it like that where I see often. He's not sorry to me? Speaking of the background about this, his mum gives her son-in-laws and daughter-in-law(me) spending half amount she pays for her son(my husband) and daughters.
I think it's very thoughtful as an adult person. So I ever told her how I felt about her treating her son and me differently and she doesnt give me any more birthdays present.

He knows I dont like his family and I dont see his family. It's good I dont need to see her any more but every year on his birthday it upsets me especially when his hugges me wearing clothes from his mum.

Do I need to speak to the counsellor? I may have to see a private counsellor as an appointment time through GP dosent fit me.

Have you looked in tesco to see if they are selling grips? You might want to get one next time you are in for milk, bread etc.

Plus maybe he isnt displaying the card to upset you,just because its his birthday and he wants to put his cards up

What else does your MIL do that bothers you?

DaenerysTargaryen · 01/05/2012 23:41

rhinosCantDonateBoneMarrow · 01/05/2012 23:41

Your DH loves his jumper so much he has posted a piccy of himself wearing it the bastard.

I'm actually LOLing here. In between sitting with my mouth wide open. I imagine it looks fairly amusing, really.

I have bought a sleeveless dress, can I wear it in May?

DaenerysTargaryen · 01/05/2012 23:42

I want one with a seam up the back though, or maybe buttons.. ..

dowhatyouwant · 01/05/2012 23:43

many more I liked her in at first but more I knew how she behaves more I hated her. And my husband is such a good son doesnt help to discuss this issues with him. Apart from MIL my husband and I are so good each other. He treats me like a prince. He spends 100 times more his mum spent on me for my birthday presents.

DaenerysTargaryen · 01/05/2012 23:43

Out of interest: how much does she spend on you?

Empusa · 01/05/2012 23:45

If I drink more will this thread make sense?

shaketastic · 01/05/2012 23:45

seems its all about money for you then or what people spend on you

kali110 · 01/05/2012 23:45

I would see your therapist,you need to let go of these issues.your mil hasnt done anything wrong from what you've said,you shouldnt be stressing over these things

dowhatyouwant · 01/05/2012 23:45

doinmummy · 01/05/2012 23:46

lunamoon · 01/05/2012 23:48

Ok so if I wear the dress without a fur scarf, can I stll display birthday cards from my mother? Or is that a complete no no?

doinmummy · 01/05/2012 23:49

If you unravel all your husbands jumpers , you can re-knit them into sleeves for anyone who makes the mistake of showing their shoulders in May
