Okay, I do fully believe mine is the worst creature to roam this planet, but I'm interested in your stories.
I believe I could write a book on mine without any exaggeration and it would be an unbelievable read.
To clarify we're NC with her now, it was just impossible to have her in our lives in any way.
But if you'd like to tell me something about yours that sounds unbelievable please do.
I couldn't choose even 20 top things that are frankly mental, but my personal favourite is telling anyone who'll listen we stopped her taking her dgc to the park, when in fact she would arrive past 8pm during winter and expect to take my 6 month old daughter out. When I suggested we did daytime at the park i was both controlling and unreasonable.
She doesn't work or have daytime commitments.
AIBU?
My MiL is worse than yours...

My MIL is amazing and my mum is an absolute nightmare.
Just for balance 🙄.

It always surprises me how these awful women managed to produce sons worth marrying.

Mine turned up at our 1 bed flat 3 weeks after DC1 was born (CS), and lied about hotel bookings. As the day went on, we started wondering when she was going to check into her hotel. Eventually, around eight, she said, "well, I'm ready for bed."
So one of us said, "Great, which hotel are you at?"
To which she looked my husband in the eye and replied "I'm staying with you."
For. A. Week.
She tore apart my baby's nursery and insisted on driving to a shop to buy us an air bed and bedding we didn't want.
And she did not lift a finger to help. Every meal we cooked she took a bite then left it. Every meal we ordered, even though she picked her food, she took a bite then left it. Every time the baby cried she complained that she hadn't got to hold him for long enough and argued with me or DH that baby's nappy didn't need changing. She kept sticking her fingers in the baby's mouth even though we asked her not to and when the baby got explosive diarrhea and projectile vomiting (probably a total coincidence), she complained about the noise of the baby in the night while DH and I were run ragged cleaning up after the poor baby.
And she brought her own breakfast cereal. Because she didn't want to eat any of that dodgy foreign muck. On the Isle of Man.
The best part was, when she left, she went to the toilet one last time and wiped shit all over the toilet roll holder and bathroom door. 🤢

Do any of you have children? Then you're likely to be a MIL too one day.
