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.

Seriously?!!

This must be a windup

Op you sound like a selfish little child!

And a gold digger!

We spend $100 on mil for bdays she spends $100ish on dh for bdays. I usually get a plate for my bday lol guess I better start hating her and going to counseling now!

Ps grow up before your dh finds someone who likes his jerseys!

Ladies, Ladies. It ISN'T funny.

Out there, somewhere, is a poor, unsuspecting therapist who one day soon may have to actually deal with this woman, sensitively.

And it will be all our fault for recommending this course of action.

Haven't read the whole thread but I hope to god my son doesn't grow up to marry someone like you!!!
So just to clarify you don't like your MIL because she spends more on her OWN children than on you NOT her child? You also think your DH should disown her because she didn't spend enough on you for your birthday??

Have I got that right?
If so you need some serious therapy and I'm questioning your DH's sanity for staying with you after such ridiculous behaviour!

I would spend less in my SIL/DIL than on my actual children whom I've arrived for 9 months and lovingly raised their entire lives definitely!
My MIL wore a WHITE FLOOR LENGTH dress to my wedding and I still love her to bits she is v good to me and my family and is here anytime we need her and I have much much more important things to worry about
