To be sick of in-law threads?

[Alwaysonholiday]

Just stop it.

Nc with ils.
Zero threads needed!! 😂

Fairly new to mumsmet but I’ve already learned that in-laws can’t win no matter what they do.

I just have nothing to do with the people in DH family who I don’t like.

Fact of the matter is that most people either don’t like or don’t get on with their in laws.

So if you don’t like it go away.

Im with you OP! Gosh so many hateful threads moaning about in laws. Its sad how ungrateful some of those posts come across. One is actually about an OP being pissed off because her in laws were kind enough to give her gifts....like seriously?!

It’s a complete personality lottery to whom you end up being related by marriage. Some in-laws are amazing, others hideous. Same goes for my own family, really... But ‘tis the season for doing family stuff and this board is a place to rant so I guess it’s peak in-laws season 😂😂

@greendale17 thats a sweeping generalisation. Surly its more to do with people like to have a moan and sadly in laws are easy targets? Also nobody ever uses internet forums to post the good stuff.

So many anti MIL threads but very little anti DIL threads in comparison.

I can never work that out.

Fact of the matter is that most people either don’t like or don’t get on with their in laws

Well they need to get a fucking grip and stop being so precious.

And it’s pretty much always MIL, hardly ever FIL being moaned about/blamed for issues.

Oh yes! Also threads about P and C, teachers, class wars, eating habits, child behaviour, baby names, ‘they forgot my birthday’ moans, cheeky fucking fuckers/the wet lettuces that can’t say no, and most of all, threads moaning about other threads. Though after all that, Mumsnet best just close down, because no one would have anything to say at all .

U ok hun?

My MIL looked at my baby! How dare she?!! I am going NC and will LTB if he does not agree to do the same!

I like my MIL and my SIL. My DIL is also very nice, we get on well.

Agree. Always, always the in-laws. they bought me a present - wah.
they didn’t buy me a present - wah. they didn’t come at all - wah they stayed too long - wah

Says who?

The majority of PIL bashing threads on MN are nonsense and so not worth the time and effort it takes to write it.

And it’s pretty much always MIL, hardly ever FIL being moaned about/blamed for issues.

Yes and to add to that, it's nearly always women rather than men who slag their inlaws off.

I don't just mean on MN, which is quite female dominated. I mean in RL too.

I find the amount of mil threads sad, probably because I have two boys and fear having a dil who hates me. I think the problem is people are willing to over look little comments and odd behaviors from their own family but don't show the same regard for in laws.

I have never posted but if you had my MIL you might feel differently. DH is her darling only son, even his sisters pity me and say they don't know how I've coped with her.

Love my in laws.

So many anti MIL threads but very little anti DIL threads in comparison.

Because MILs are old enough to realise that the whiny-arsed shite their control-freak DILs are shrieking about doesn't matter whatsoever in the great scheme of things. They're probably winding them up on purpose

The thing I can never work out is how so many of these evil narcissistic women managed to raise men worthy of procreating with

Well they need to get a fucking grip and stop being so precious.

Or..... you could bugger off to another forum if it is causing you so much angst

I guess for some this is the only place they can vent/unload/rant. Plus as another poster pointed out this is peak IL season

I agree with armchairanarchist Don't judge unless you've been there. Good for you all having wonderful uncomplicated relationships with your in-laws. My MIL is awful and has been awful to all his ex's as well. My DH says 'its not personal its the fact she doesn't want me to be with anyone'.

I look at the way my lovely SIL is with my mum. They meet up for coffee etc., and enjoy each other's company. She took mum out to buy a new hoover today and I know my mum looks upon her as another daughter. I would settle for a mere fraction of that respect from my MIL.

You have no idea what your talking about!

My pil dared to want to hold my baby, I could not believe it. My baby is so precious and I cannot stand it when mil demands to see her.

Yes my mum sees the baby more and holds her but she's my mum you know!

My oh is on my side too, I make sure he is as how dare he try to stand up for his mother. I am his wife and I lay down the law!

I know you post in jest safetyfreak but there's many threads like your post that are for real.
