Mil and dh : dirty old woman pic

I have two dds but I can't imagine talking to a son like this and I certainly can't imagine my dm talking to my db like this....

So.. A few things a while ago over time.

I saw a pic of young teenage dh on the sofa and mil crawling towards him. On back she had wrote " dirty old woman".

Then one day we went round and before she realised I was there she draped her arms around his neck like a lover and complained of the heat ".

A family friend once said she told them, having a nice husband wasn't necessary if you had a son.

But she never complements him and puts him down which is strange?

@BurntToACinder so, if that was my mum and db... It would have been, knock knock, door open
. "hello"..

Hello..

Come in, it's hot isn't it, with perhaps and quick swift peck on the cheek and brief squish of shoulders?

Mil opened the door and sort of hello... Drapes arms around neck and gazes.. It's hot isn't it "

Then" oh... "" -hello"... Surprised" I didn't realise you where there... " to me.

It was a very hot day when that happened so the reference to heat was about environmental heat. .

Another time she was going out and she said to oh who had mentioned something... "oh can't I go out, don't you want me too, I have to have a life as well...".

It had no bearing or context on anything...dh couldn't have cared less

So what does your DH have to say about the photo?
Have you discussed with him about how his mother interacts with him?

Hiddenvoice · 17/05/2024 22:47

Sorry op but I think you’re reading too much into this. It sounds like they hug often, I wouldn’t question the part about the heat comment.

Her comment about going out just seems like she wants some attention and wants him to ask what she’s up to.

If you feel uncomfortable then speak to your husband about it and see what he says.

Who took the photo of the woman crawling across the floor?

Once she's still not breastfeeding him it's all grand.

TeaandScandal · 17/05/2024 22:54

I’m trying to imagine a photo of someone crawling across the floor…

Isthisweird1 · 17/05/2024 22:55

Sofa. She was on the sofa on all fours crawling towards him.

Are you suggesting incest. If so talk to your husband

Woozerbug · 17/05/2024 22:58

Oh hang on. Is this a thread where you’re getting off on posting….

TheShellBeach · 17/05/2024 22:58

I don't understand any of this.

Sofa. She was on the sofa on all fours crawling towards him.

How big was this bloody sofa?

ComfyButFrumpy · 17/05/2024 23:00

I'd say you don't like your mil , and it sounds like you are desperately reaching for a problem.

Isthisweird1 · 17/05/2024 23:01

She's petite, tea.

@Woozerbug what are you suggesting?

Why not go and read or respond on the 1000 other threads if you don't like mine.

Dwarf, is it?

RickyGervaislovesdogs · 17/05/2024 23:04

You’ve posted about this before haven’t you?

maudelovesharold · 17/05/2024 23:04

I’m getting definite Tennessee Williams vibes, what with the heat and the dysfunctional family!

GordonBlue · 17/05/2024 23:05

Yes.

Maybe she is Elizabeth Taylor.

Or, a cat.

Sofa. She was on the sofa on all fours crawling towards him.

Was she crawling along the top of the sofa?

Halfheadhighlights · 17/05/2024 23:08

It sounds very odd to be honest. What does your husband think?

MissingMoominMamma · 17/05/2024 23:09

What’s the word she uses for him?

GordonBlue · 17/05/2024 23:09

Hereditary!!! 😱

Gazelda · 17/05/2024 23:09

Are you wondering whether she's got romantic feelings for her son?

When did this happen?

Is your DH comfortable around her?

GordonBlue · 17/05/2024 23:12

Like this, OP??!
