Just spent the weekend with mil from hell!!!

[woodpops]

I have just spent the weekend with the mil from hell. As a result my head is pounding, I'm in a horrid mood and spent the entire journey back arguing with dh about her!!!!!

My MIL is an evil cow! She told dh he was fat (he is not), stupid and irresponsible for 'getting' me PG with ds....he was planned. She told him she would never babysit or look after him (as if I would want her to) and she didnt bother to see him for 9 months. She ignores me completely and was a COW at the wedding. She didnt want to see the scan foto of the new baby til ds went to show her and she looked and said, 'It had better be a girl.' I really despise her and have as little to do with her as I can which is easy as we live in different countries.

I would never visit her which is sad as I like to get on with people and I feel devastated that my MIL hates me as much as she does. She isnt keen on DH either!!

My sil is like a daughter to my mother, my dh and bil are hangers on !!!!( who have never recieved a birthday card from her while sil gets a present)

Well my MIL attempted to punch me in the stomach when i was pregnant with Dd1 and had just lost her twin.

What Nutty?

Wow I thought mine were irritating but some of the ones on this thread need locking up. Nutcracker I'm astounded (don't have a smiley for speechless) " "

FIL to dh, the day before dh was due to have chemotherapy, 'Have a nice day tomorrow'. Number of times fil phoned dh (in a year)after dh's diagnosis of cancer, 3. Dh to smashing bil, 'your wife, X', bil 'X isn't my wife, she is Y's wife', Fil, 'Oh you all seem the same to me'

Hard to believe but all 100% true!

OTOH my mother in law is wonderful and I love her to bits. She divorced FIL, I don't know why she didn't shoot him!

Tis true i'm afraid. Basically she was having a go at Dp cos he hadn't visited her for a while (i'd been in hospital thats why). She started going on about me, calling me all the names under the sun and going on about how i must of been dragged up blah blah blah. I started to defend myself and she shot out of her seat and down the living room and went for me. Luckily Dp got in her way.

I stopped all contact with her (and FIL he's just as bad) but then relented when Dd was born. They kept on breezing in and out of our lives and expecting us to drop everything for them.
Just before xmas it all came to a head and i told them exactly what i thought of them.
They ranted and raved, so i just asked them to leave my flat. They refused so i threatened to call the police. They eventually left after issuing me with several threats.
They are now banned by me, from setting foot near the flat or ma and the kids.
Dp knows he can see them whenever he chooses, but as yet he has chosen not to.

Blimey...my mil and fil are saintly in comparison to this lot! FIL can be dogmatic - have told him not to patronise me and now we get on great...mil was crawling on the floor round the bar area of a Hilton hotel with ds on Sunday whilst dp and I had a glass of wine...

my mil is nice as pie most of the time except she makes horrible digs about my weight. like at ds2 christening she commented to my friend how much weight she has lost and then asked me "cant she give you any tips?" or the time when she called me fat face.... or the time when she told ds1 I was fat, he's 5 fgs!!..... or the time... well you get my drift I have told dh i will not be going round there till she stops. Infact the more I think about it, the more I'm getting paranoid maybe she is just being nice to me but doesn't really like me, she didn't when I first met dh..... no she does like me, i get good pressies and stuff and apart from the digs she,s nice, well apart from when she pinches me...oh dear

Nutty, my MIL did something similar actually. The night before she said to DH about DS1 not being her grandson.

She'd driven to our flat, drunk I might add, and when she wouldn't leave(DH was at work) and I'd tried to force her out I said I'd call the police. When 999 answered and I said I needed the police she screamed "you bitch" and hit me around the head. I was holding 4-5 week old ds1 at the time!!!

I just don't understand why these people are so f*cking evil. At least witnessing it firsthand we can all be sure that we've learnt how to be good MIL's........there's no hope for this lot now.

Whist my DD was in hospital with meningitis, FIL asked if we could pick him up and take him round to our house so that he could plant the tomato plants - he didn't want them dying!!

Then when she came out of hospital, we invited MIL and FIL round to see for themselves that she was ok, he decided he was too busy, may have had a cold coming and went to the pub to get drunk.

My parents on the other hand drove 3 hours here, and 3 hours back to spend 2 hours with their precious grand daughter.

god some of these stories are awful
my in laws are no where near as bad but they are very self obsessed and have no idea about the real world. ALso FIL is a bit of a piss head (and trys to prentend he isn't), last time they came to visit he got so drunk that he fell over in our local and fell into a table with drinks all over it. thank god I wasn't there.

My mil thinks alcohol is evil and only badpeople touch it. So of course I'm the first to the bottle!!

anyone read the story in the paper today about a woman who burnt down her son and his girlfriend's flat after they told her they were planning to emigrate?!!!

Just sit back and be content that she's older than you and will be dead one day. Mine kicked the bucket just over a year ago, and our marriage has never been better - it was only after that the manipulative old cow had gone that we fully realised what an enormous threat she'd been to our relationship. Only regret is that she was crap with money and didn't leave us anything.
