Advice on nuisance mil

So I do not get along with my partner's mum. She tried to run me and my son over with her car a couple of years ago.

I have asked her not to come to my house multiple times. She ignores this. She will even park on the double yellow lines directly outside my house. And she will just linger in her car outside my house.

For clarity, she has not come to see her son, she has no interest. They dont spend time together out of choice. And if she did, she lives 10 minutes walk away so he can go there. I find this really weird.

This makes me really uncomfortable, last time she demanded to my partner that I was not allowed to be outside my home because she said she was going to be there. However, it is my home and I have no interest in her.

She had cheated on her husband a few years ago with his brother and his brother did the same thing to them. So they should understand.

I find it weird because every time she sees me or my daughter out in the street or sees me doing something outside my house she questions my partner, she is nosey asf even though, my business is my business

Have you heard of Mel Robbins? She has this “Let them” theory that is about letting folk do what they want (as long as it doesn’t hurt you) and you do your own thing. In this case I’d let her crack on and let you shake your head and be glad you don’t live her life while cracking on with your own life.

i can’t understand why you haven’t been to the police about her running your child over or got some order against her? Surely that’s the most common sense thing you would do?

Close your blinds and go on with your day.

Why is your partner not NC with his mum, considering she tried to kill you and your child?

Endofyear · 26/10/2025 13:46

Did you report her to the police for trying to run you and your child over? Is she coming and just sitting in her car outside your house? This is not normal behaviour. I would speak to the police and at least log a complaint as this is borderline stalking/harassment/intimidation!

BingBongBish · 26/10/2025 13:55

Is this going to be one of those silly threads where the OP becomes immediately 'too busy' to update for ages?

There's too much info missing for people to give the advice the OP requested.

Was she prosecuted for trying to run you over, or for the harassment?
Why is your boyfriend allowing her to question him about you? Confused

GlitzAndGigglesx · 26/10/2025 14:11

Stand at the window with a magnifying glass dressed like an inspector. Also report the cow for harrassment

Edited

Threads like these where the OP has clearly not done any of the obvious, makes me always think that they are contributing just as much to the drama.

Just to recap, your MIL tried to kill you and your daughter?

LaurieFairyCake · 26/10/2025 15:15

Your MIL tried to attempt murder on you and your son and she’s not in jail, and your husband still sees her.

amongst the things that NEVER HAPPENED 😂😂😂

skyeisthelimit · 26/10/2025 15:25

Just write it all down and report it to the police.

Henry8thHoover · 26/10/2025 15:27

I’m sure I’ve read this before, the MIL trying to run someone and their child over.

Gulliver88 · 26/10/2025 15:31

The first reposnse has hit the nail on the head.
Let her.
Dont let her get to you.
I know you know this but she wants a reaction don't give her it

I read something similar on Reddit several years ago now.

There, all the MiLs have nicknames. I specifically remember this one, whose moniker was 'Roadkill'.

I went to the police so there is record and offered to take it to court but she left me alone at this point so I didn't bother going through court, I didn't have evidence as there are no cameras where it happened so it was just word against word x I feel anxious walking across the same road now as it's the bottom of her road so I have to walk the other side to get my kids to school x

You need to report her to the police for harassment. Do it every time she waits outside your house.
