Worst thing your in-laws have ever said or done to you?

[Springsunshine123]

Whats the worst thing your in-laws have ever said/done to you? Long list of mine include:
MIL telling me on our wedding day “Did not expect this to be this nice from you”
MIL asking me how much my jacket was and when replying £50 she said (god are you sure, wouldn’t expect you to fork out that much!)
trying to feed my 9mo lucozade
wanting someone to blow smoke into my 7yo’s ear to cure his earache
telling me it was my fault her husband was coughing…. The list of gems is endless…GO!

My deceased parents in law were very good to me, always, as was I with them.

Used to nark me she used to refer to Husbands ex wife as her 'first daughter in law'. I did correct her ... she's actually your ex daughter in law!

My MIL (who disliked me) parked our then 9 month old in front of a blazing fire in a pram (May weather). DD had an overcoat and hat on too, with a blanket on top of her. When I picked her up, her hair and body were soaked in sweat.

FIL and step-MIL have cut contact with us, including their young DGC.
DH explained to Step-MIL how it made him feel when she was shitty with him if he hadn’t contacted her frequently enough, and that he would like it if FIL made the effort to contact him sometimes rather than it always being her. They both took offence and now they’ve been NC for 2 years. DH very clearly left the ball in FIL’s court and they’ve not been in touch. It’s so sad.

These stories are so sad, but also very sobering. They debunk the myth that parents totally prioritise and love their children unconditionally. They obviously don't.

It's very clear that some parents care far more about themselves than they do their own children. In many cases it's apparent that parents simply don't love their children, not in a way that I would recognise love, anyway.

I know for a fact that my MIL loved her twin sister far, far more than any of her own children.

I do think there are an awful lot of unhappy middle aged and older people out there , be it bad relationships, feeling trapped, ill health, unfulfilled jobs etc - and they take it out on those closest, often the other women in the family- some real charming examples on here

No. I wouldn't have a heart over that

My DGC would be even more precious

FIL asking DH to pick between me or him. We had 2 kids at the time. Not a hard choice for DH 😂

Repeatedly threatening to cut us out of the will - again, spiteful from FIL but didn’t have much impact on us as it’s a will - it should be FIL’s decision, do what you will, FIL. No idea if he’s actually cut us out, as he likes to use it as a threat, but I hope he has.

There’s more. Much, much more.

Asking for alone time with my 8 week old and when told no went to my husband behind my back to try and get him to agree

Criticising my choice to breastfeed and making creepy comments

crying when they found out we were engaged

crying because they didn’t get to watch our intimate couples photo shoot on our wedding day

Telling all her friends my sons private medical information

making comments how I should give my husband money because he earns less than me (it’s 50/50 bill split and I work part time due to childcare)

screaming and shouting at us when we asked them not to visit one time when our son was a newborn after his vaccines and was poorly … apparently he’s their grandson and they can visit whenever they want

The OP is probably a size 10 and MiL was having a dig.

WTAF! What is wrong with her? What did your DH say?

This is so crazy, but my SIL did similar at family get togethers… not a single picture of me just “them” with my children. Dont mind me ill just pop these put of my hoo-ha for you to take feom me.

You can buy it in little bottles from places like Catholic Church gift shops. I have a little collection.

You win 🤣🤣🤣

Age as it's apparently 'generational'

The other thing thwy strikes me about these stories (aside from the fact you have nasty psychos for IL's) is that a lot of you have a dh problem.

If my IL's did/said even one of the more horrific things some of you mentioned neither dh or I would have anything to do with them again. I really don't understand why you would stay in touch with these horrors.

I’m not sure I agree - MIL being bitches is a story as old as time. I have two boys so I desperately hope their future wives (or husbands, depending on which way they swing) doesn’t feel the same.

My DH is low contact anyway. He has stuck up for me before.

I must admit, I have no idea why some of you are still in contact.

Oh c'mon now. I am plus sized and I would be put out as well if MIL gave me joggers several sizes larger. Dont look so hard for reasons to be angry.

Pure evil.

Sincerely hope you are clear of cancer now. And her, come to think of it.

What the actual f£&k 😱😱😱 I want to give your poor dd a hug! What a vile vile person!

I would have thumped your MiL. I wouldn't have been able to stop myself 😡

I had the same reaction as I'm sure you can imagine. PiL just stayed in their room with the door locked. Probably a good thing as I would have ended up in prison otherwise!

I cannot imagine anyone doing that

Even 'old school' doesn't explain it.

Was she like that when your DH was growing up?

And how was your DD for the rest of the holiday? Wasn't she traumatised when she saw them again?

Poor, poor little girl
