Mother in laws

[MumOfHals]

I'm currently on holiday with my husband, daughter ( who is 4 ) and both of our parents - it's been 12 hours and I'm already pulling my hair out with my mother in law.

She always sees the negative with everything & she DOES NOT STOP TALKING she will talk over everyone and anyone and has to speak the loudest 🙃

we saw a ginger bread biscuit that was shaped like paw patrol chase and my daughter was so excited, we said we'd get her one for the car journey home but she pulled such a disgusted look.

I don't know how I can get through about 3 whole days.........

Anyone else have monster mother in law

In that case, I'd buy DD two!

So calk her out.
Next time she says something negative

"Geez MIL its OK for happiness to exist in life. You don't always have to bring it all down"

What's the worst that can happen?
She doesn't like you?
What a tragic, tragic shame.

I'd also tell tour partner that they get fuck off if they ever think you'll ever spend more than a few hours with her again.

@MumOfHals are you at CP? 😆

I actually have a similar MIL - she has a way of turning everything negative and bringing the mood down regardless of what’s going on 🙄 she is also a big one for talking over people.
I just call her out on it now 😅 “way to bring the mood down MIL!” or if she tries to talk over me I just say “oh sorry, I was talking” 🙈

My personal issue with mine is that she talks over me when I’m disciplining DS 😡 she was visiting us yesterday and he started throwing stones in the garden which he knows not to do so I took him away from the stones and was giving him a row for it and MIL stands shouting at DS over the top of me 🙄 That resulted in an argument and she left 🤷🏻‍♀️

DH has also spoken to her about it multiple times but it continues!

My Mil is the devil incarnate and textbook definition of a narcissist. She physically and mentally abused my husband when he was a child and if that’s not bad enough she never went to his school to report him being bullied and instead started to call him the names that the bullies called him at school 🥲 he left at 17 and joined military as if he didn’t he would’ve gone down a very wrong path. He has done so well for himself after leaving school with nothing, not once has she congratulated him. Even now she refuses to admit any wrongdoing and says he is over-reacting and needs to get over it! This has massively affected his entire life and for that I totally despise her. He has delayed PTSD which started 5 years ago once she came back to the uk from Spain and she deliberately goads him and just talks about herself constantly. She love bombs him and her grandsons only if we invite her to ours as she never makes any effort or goes out her way to do anything for us. If we didn’t invite her every weekend she would get the hunp and say he was abandoning her and she can’t do anything herself apparently!

She’s 73 and apparently a guy in his thirties is after her totally deluded to fuck. She has never bought a house in uk when she came back from Spain as she’s holding out for a lottery win to get the house she feels she deserves She claims to us she counts all her pennies but looks down her nose at absolutely everyone with her misplaced snobbery and I can’t stand people that think they are better than others.
She is very jealous of what we have but we’ve worked bloody hard for it. She hates me and constantly brings up stories about my husbands first wife even though apparently she never liked her,
She constantly nit picks at my husband and I for words we may not use correctly and apparently because I’m from Scotland I don’t use correct terms in some sentences FML!!! Anyway husband has now seen the damage she caused him clearly and has stopped speaking to her after their last argument when she stormed out our house.
