Why don't you like her?

BuzzingTheBee · 28/12/2020 18:53

Need more information

Sparkletastic · 28/12/2020 18:56

Yeah just you

Cheeseycheeseycheesecheese · 28/12/2020 18:57

Not everyone gets on and sometimes people you wouldn't usually get on with become your family... it's unfortunate you don't like her.
Is there something in particular?

wizzywig · 28/12/2020 18:57

No, my mil doesn't like me either

slipperywhensparticus · 28/12/2020 19:01

Mine loved me till I married her son then she loathed me even after I divorced him his last fiance she hated before they got engaged so 🤷

Motnight · 28/12/2020 19:03

She speaks very highly of you, Op 😂

Ifonlyihadknown79 · 28/12/2020 19:10

I did like her to start off with but the more I get to know her..... well let's say, she just not a nice person to get on with!!
It all come to a head on Christmas when she spoke ( shouted and calling me names)to me like I was a teenage girl in a School playground.

Out of the blue?

Hey, not all DILs are angels. My SIL is a complete psycho. I have no words for her level of bloody nasty behaviour. My DM really really tries to keep the peace and will do anything to keep her onside.
She has completely wrecked most of my brothers relationships with both his family and his friends, I wish he'd never met her! The day he says he's done with her will be the best day ever.

catatecheese · 28/12/2020 19:13

Mine doesn't like me either, don't worry you are not alone. Would like to hear your DIL's side though!

LilQueenie · 28/12/2020 19:14

You are starting to sound like a typical teenage girl giving a lot of she started it type attitude without any real context. What happened in detail.

Ifonlyihadknown79 · 28/12/2020 19:14

Yes!

In fairness, this already sounds like a childish squabble and you’ve only posted twice. I’m keeping an open mind because right now I’m inclined to think she might have a point.

But you haven’t told us what you said as well. Always 2 sides to a story!

My MIL ...
I have said I am not going to see her again. My H is fine with this .

SantaPranki · 28/12/2020 19:21

I have not been shouting at her though , let's be clear.

Tal45 · 28/12/2020 19:24

What happened before she started shouting at you out of the blue and what exactly did she shout at you?

slipperywhensparticus · 28/12/2020 19:26

Is that you lol?

Ifonlyihadknown79 · 28/12/2020 19:28

Son's ex partner left him after 8 years together and 2 children. Ex Dil and Son were perfectly fine getting on, all good. New girl comes along after a few months of them separating then all relationship starts to break down. Son doesn't see children. Ex and new g.f are at each other throats I'm stuck in the middle trying to keep the peace. New G.F clears the children's bedrooms out for her kids, this after a couple of months being together and moves in with him. New g.f does something horrendous to ex g.f which I was disgusted at but kept my mouth shut. Police have been called numerous times by both of them ex and N.G! N.G causes and starts all the problems then say it wasn't her! Grandkids not seeing there dad who they idolise and who idlosed them for over a year. New G.f told me I was ex G.F side, told her the only side I was on were my grandkids! Sorry waffling on a bit

I get on great with my DIL but it's not been an easy journey, I've had to win her friendship and I make sure I never interfere.

TheSockMonster · 28/12/2020 19:28

I’m sure you’re not alone.

It’s hard to tell whether you are justified.

Soontobe60 · 28/12/2020 19:30

It sounds like your ds needs to get his act together

EvilHerbivore · 28/12/2020 19:30

Surely the person responsible for your son not seeing his children is....your son?
