Who's got the worst mother in-law?

[Search]

I have decided to have a competiton on who's got the worst mother in-law? I love to hear your stories! I will tell you mine, it will sure to shock u!

Ok, My step mother in law is a peroxide blonde, ageing, botoxed, face lifted, breast enhanced alcoholic who yells abuse down the phone, said the 'c' word in front of my child (who was 3 at the time).
In her most drunken moments I have seen her show her 'scar' from her breast implants to everyone at a party (where there were kids)
She groped my dad in the groin once and went into detail about her sex life with FIL to my poor mum ...
She snogged my cousin at my wedding in front of everyone including FIL.
She has drinking binges that last 2 or 3 days (drinking at 9am in the morning) I saw her go out one day on Day 2 of a drinking binge with ladders in her tights and lipstick all wonky, pissed as a fart ... I tried to stop her but I couldn't.
She has been barred from most bars and restaurants in Auckland.
Shocking woman.

I have a 'comedy' MIL - does that count?

Definitely not me - my MIL is fantastic and I'm very, very grateful for that

Search, Do a search on my name and you'll find out that nothing would shock me in regards to awful MILS.
I'm not saying it all again because she died recently and that chapter of my life is over.

Ghosty, blimey

Makes my MIL seem relatively ok (she's in Auckland too btw!)

ghosty, she sounds a classy lady!

Mine MIL pisses me off so much, that i've turned a corner and am not letting her wind me up anymore, as i gets me too stressed out. I now just pity her and laugh at her as i can't believe someone can honestly be that selfish & uninterested in her own kids and grandchildren. It's her lose

Don't think I can match ghosty but thought I'd add mine.
My MIL/ILs:
-Booked a holiday with DH to Scotland and expected me to contribute towards it, whether I could go or not.
-Couldn't utter a word of congratulations when we said we were getting engaged and later threw a tantrum about it because she couldn't cope with the thought that her little boy had grown up. This almost split DH and I up.
-Booked a holiday the day DD1 (and their 1st grandchild) was due and said they couldn't go on the other date available a month later in August because, "the nights would be drawing in". Then when DD1 arrived while they were away and they were the last last to know, said it was my fault that they'd booked the holiday, saying that they went because my Mum went to the 1st scan (DH couldn't go so I asked my Mum to go instead).
-Threw a tantrum down the phone because we couldn't have them up to our house. DH and MIL had arranged it and not realised that we had a dentists appointment that day. She later blamed her tantrum on having sciatica and she hadn't taken any painkillers for it.
-Threw a tantrum (do you see a pattern with her tantrums?!) in front of 13month old DD1. Stormed out then a few days later made "crank" phone calls every 15 minutes.
-DH took newborn DD2 out of my arms so that FIL could take faaaamily pictures but not include me. (Not including me in pictures happens a lot).
-MIL (and this was the last straw for me) last year rang up 5 days after I'd had a miscarriage to ask if I'd done the pregnancy test I'd been given by the hospital (it had to be done 2 wks afterwards, not that it had anything to do with her anyway. She only did this so that she had something to gossip to SIL about).

She has been a blot on my marriage. The ILs never apologise for their behaviour but expect me to play at "happy families" and still do nice things for them. Although MILs last tantrum was 5 years ago, DH is scared of his parents now. So much so, that he always puts his parents feelings before me and the childrens. It's our 10th Wedding Anniversary next month, and the only thing that comes to mind when I think of that is how have we made it this far?!

Me me me me me

Told the stories before but will give a run down:

This Chrsistmas:

Fed our 2 year old alcohol in a dessert without telling me

Took my AS son aside when she thought I was out of hearing and laid into him because I asked him to gor time out in the kitchen

Past:

When my DH tried to kill himself telephoned him and instead of asking why, said @I think you have a cheek your life is great I'm the one with all the problems, you should be feeling sorry for ME'

Refuses to acknowledge DS1 (apart from Christmas ) as she doesn't want any freaks in her family

Insisted on seeing SD1's birth cert before acknowledging his birth to her friends

Saved all the money DH and BIL ever got for Christenings, birthdays etc..... and then spent it on a breast enlargement

Told my 5 year old Grandad hit her... Dh witnessed the event, he didn't even threaten it. I mean, that's evil

Has written DH out of will because he won't disown FIL after marriage break up- even though she knows it would buy security for AS son (we don't want her money, but as don't own a home we'd like DS to have security}

Got her house by buttering up a doddery old chap and persuading him to leave it to her, therby making his family lose out

Gave us a receipt for £2K for a wedding present, receipt being for hotel where wedding was. Two years later, when we were facing bankruptcy as DH was too ill to work, telephoned and demanded it back ASAP as was only a loan.

Allowed her dog to bite my children on a visit, then picked up dog and said 'poor doggy, nasty children making you sad?'

Didn't tell me she ahd history of PET when I was being investigated for what seemed to be it, and the Dr's needed genetic history.... she had it very severely

Told Dh he had a childhood problem that would give him a low sperm count. Um, pure LIE

Never once showed DH any affection, ever

Need I go on? There's more....

Some of these stories are horrendous!

I have a lovely MIL and FIL (although he can be annoying). However, my SIL is a nightmare. Four days after my sister's tragic and premature death, SIL sent me a bossy email demanding that I help organise her son's 13th birthday party. I wrote back and said, politely, that I had other things on my mind - my sister hadn't even been buried yet. She wrote back, no apology, but breezily said "Oh, I know you've had a bad week".

F*ing cowbag.

My dad's mum is a dragon as well, but that's another story...

Mine is usually either stoned or off her face on something when we go and see her ( not that often as you can imagine!) She fiddles the DSS for every penny she can get and I wouldn't leave my boys with her for a second!! She moved my poor DH from school to school ( 4 high schools) when she fancied a move and has bankrupted both her ex husbands.

Just remembered - some years ago, I had a boyfriend called Nick. It was quite serious and I think I might have married him, had it not been for his mother.

She was a nightmare - a dippy, hippy, scruffy, ten year old in a 45 year old woman's body. She made loud comments about our sex life in front of everybody - for example, when she FIRST MET ME, she said she hadn't wanted to turn up to early in case we were still in bed! And she didn't mean sleeping!

She was really manipulative - rang me up and told me she thought it was about time her son and I moved in together. She was really outspoken and said rude things about my parents (whom she had never met).

Basically, she was like a naughty child who kept saying silly things and she drove me mad.

The other thing I thought was odd about her was that she was a committed vegetarian but married (for the 3rd time) to a squat weeble of a man who boasted about his big game hunting in Africa. Hmmm - Mrs Nut Roast marries Mr "Hey, I killed a tiger". Weird.

Can I join in please

1. told me it is a shame that you can't choose your childrens partners
2. ran fingers along my window ledge looking for dust.

3.took over our wedding.we made seat plans and the night before her and my dh changed them so her friends were sitting near us on top table and my friends were far way 3.cuts out clipping from newspapers about diets because I am overwieght. 4.was really nasty when we told her we were expecting our third child.She belives in even numbers 5.Told my dh to stop doing things around the house because he works.He puts children to bed and dose the bins 6.Reckons I spend all HIS money.She tells dh this behind my back 7.has little digs every time i go around there

Dh used to be a rotton husband.He was imature and lazy with the grown up things. He was controled by his mum and is very scared of her because she sulks.She is so like Mrs Bucket i really mean that.She thinks she is better than everyone and people seem to do what she wants.her husband is a man waiting to get out of a shell.She is truley horrid

Last year dh had an affair.It was a horrible time.He went to live with her again and she loved it.She made things up and said he didn't want me anymore bla bla. she threatened to take me to court to see the chidren ( I never stopped her).When dh said to her that he had ben an awful husband and he is selfish she blew her top and said "well you don't get that from me".She said I would have to change my ways if I wanted him back and he done it because I didn't look after him properly.
When we got back together she kept ringing him at work to ask him how I was treating him.WTF.Two weeks ago she came in with a clipping from the paper about John Prescot and said "ha ha isn't that funny,well you know he had an affair".What a total bitch.I knew she never liked me and she has shown her true colours.Since this I do not want to know her.To behave the way she doses she hates me and she an't love her son.how could you? Her own daughter won't tell her anything about her life.How sad is that.
Right rant over

my (late) mil was the v v v v v v worst. i cant possibly tell you on here. anyone who knows me at all well would instantly realise it was me

on my wedding day she sahe pushed me out of the wedding photo for one of her family.We were paying ffs

blimey. have just read other posts. truly shocking. my dh and i went to see psych for help re my mil..... it caused such problems for us and truly stopped us enjoying ds1 as a baby. still makes me sad to think of it.

Mines pretty bad but not as bad as some!

She was disgusted when we told her I was pg with ds.
She was too busy to take me to the hospital when I was told I had have him at 33 weeks.
She couldn't come to his christening because she was fishing!
Never came to see us in the 2 years we lived in Scoland but could keep popping over to France at weekends
Moan at me for not wanting any more children as she wanted more Grandchildren (hang on she didn't want any 3 years earlier!)
Keeps bringing ds presents and not dd (that one really winds me up!)

Anyway think I have said enough!!

OMG there are some evil witches out there persecuting their DILs

My MIL is lovely, I have no problems with her. I do think it's hard when ILs come as a package deal with your spouse - you suddenly take on this whole family. It's a bit like when you work with people - you can't really choose who you were with (unless you're the boss) and you can't choose your family...

My EX MIL wrote the EX H out of her will in retaliation for him having the temerity to marry me. She didn't like the fact I was a single mum (who had always worked F/T BTW, never claimed benefits, unlike her who had never worked a day in her life). She said she didn't want a "bastard" child being in line to benefit from her assets.

EX H obviously loved the thought of his mother's money more than me because he made myself and my son homeless within the week. Pathetic, shallow Mummy's boy - they are welocme to each other.

My MIL also has written us out of the will . She divorced last year and BIl bought FIL's half house, and the rest goes to him also. DH and I no longer own our own home after he was ill, but our bigger concern is our AS son as we have no way of knowing how successfully he will hold down a job, we'd have liked him to have some security. Should BIL pass first (likely, he has severe asthma and a 2 packs a day habit) the house goes to a friend of his in its entirety.

FIL has put the kids in his will I believe, but his new partner isn't much different to Dh in age, and she would get the house in absolute and then would leave to her nephew, but I dod think she would ensure the bioys got something- even though she's only met them a few times.

MIL is just a witch. And BIL her familiar.

my MIL is not really as evil as some on here, but she is totally barmy, not in a 'cooky, or slightly zany' kinda way, just totally and utterly mentally unstable.

she has claimed for years that ghosts have lived in the house and then cut electric cables etc and blamed it on aforementioned ghosts.

once, she went up on the roof of a hospital with her hospital gown flowing in the wind for all to see.

her kids, inc DH spent some time in care when they were babies

her mentally disabled daughter who lives with her is always filthy. SIL and BIL want to kidnap her and give the poor girl a makeover,(she's aged 21) most mums would be happy that this girl is being gently taught womanly things like keeping herslf neat and tidy from her sister, but no, this mad woman wouldn't let her daughter out.

refused to meet up with DH last time we were over in oz so still hasn't seen her grandson, didn't even send a card or acknowledge his birth at all when born. DH jus has no contact with her at all, with suits me though i try to remain impartial. recently he heard she is getting back with his asshole dad after 23 years- erugh!

She lives very near me (5 mins in the car)

Isn't that bad enough?

Not really any one particular incident just many, many little ones. Amongst other things she ignores me or is sarcastic to me when I see her and DP isn't there then in front of DP she is sickly, sickly, sweet and innocent. She used to open the door and come in to my house whenever she wanted thus scaring the hell out of me. I started locking the door at all times .

She is one of these hideous people who agree with everything the favourite person of the moment is saying instead of having an opinion. Weak.

She laughs like a wtich and her eyes don't smile IYKWIM.

She's also a hypochondriac and LOVES, just LOVES to be ill. Once called an ambulance because she was so ill. Failed to mention that she'd over-stuffed her face with chinese food a few hours previously.........

Haven't read all the thread so apologies if its on here but I can't get past the MIL who sent her DIL knicker elastic for Christmas, can't remember who it was but it has stayed with me forever.

I know someone whose MIL was vicious in the extreme. In particular, she would send the children broken Xmas presents. It happened too often for it to be accidental - she was clearly buying them, breaking them and sending them...

Odd. Very, very odd. And sad :(

Not going to repeat any of the stories about mine because I don't want to give her head space atm. But sympathies to fellow sufferers .
