To think there should be a board just for MIL issues.

[lipstickwoman]

I say issues when really I mean hatred. Not sure if it's the time of year but there seems to be soooo many threads about MILs.

Its so depressing when some of us try to be good MILs.

My mil means well but has no idea how to respect boundaries so after years of trying everything, I have gone NC. It's made my life infinitely better because she goes through my DH rather than me and he now understands.

I agree!

Why not my just think...there by the grace of God go I and thank your lucky Star's t hi is problem doesn't apply?

Yes, people fail to see not everything is about them.
she might be a good mil so all those with not so good mils should keep it to themselves lest she opens and reads a thread with a title that described what would be found within

In that case don’t read the threads that you find depressing. There’s even a hide button.

Not everything is about you. Stop trying to control others speech, they are free to talk about their own issues without worrying about your feelings.

are those mil allowed to complain about their bitch dil in AIBU or should a board be started just for that?

we should have a different board for every issue. MN should do away with AIBU, is the logical conclusion

I'm sat with my MIL at A&E at the moment. It's 2:30am. Some of us love our MILs.

Thing is OP, you're doing exactly what some dils don't like about MILs. Because you think you're a good mil you're trying to tell others that they're not allowed a different experience, or at least where they are allowed to talk about it if they do have a different experience. It's controlling.

My mil to my xw is such a bitter, twisted, selfish, controlling narcissistic twat she lives in my head rent free.

My hatred for her destroys my life still every day, and I need therapy 😆 honestly 🤬 I could scream blue murder

I'll be honest, all the MIL is starting to scare me. I always wanted a boy, and now I'm like am I going to end up being 'the MIL'

I'm very wary of self identification.
Self identification as 'a woman'. Often a hairy penis have.
Self identification as a 'good mother in law'. Controlling cow.
The fact that you want to control others free speech doesn't scream easygoing mil I'm afraid.

There is a real hatred for MILs on here, and I’m pretty sure a lot of these women never treat their own Mothers the same way. I’d love to hear the other side of the story sometimes.

If you're a good MIL and have a good relationship with your DIL why do you let this bother you?

There is a hatred for posters own mils , not mils in general.
I would have loved to have a decent mil, as it is her own son and DGC have disowned her, as well as her brothers and sisters because she is a horrible,horrible person.
My mum would never have said or did some of the stuff mil has, because shes not a raving narcissist who takes great pleasure in making peples lives a misery.
On the other hand there are plenty of threads about mums from other posters.

Should have put it in Site Stuff not AIBU then!

So what we know from this thread about the OP

She likes to get involved in things that don't affect her

She gets snippy when the conversation doesn't go her way

I wonder how good a MIL she really is 😂

Agree, actually. The 'I hate my [very obviously awful] MIL, AIBU?' are the most boring yet prevalent threads.
