Relationship with Partners Family

[MummaOfOne]

I'm struggling with coping with my DP family. They are an absolute nightmare. To make me feel better what's your worse experiences dealing with you DP/DH family ?

I can't say I have any experience as I get on well with mine. What's wrong with your ILs? How are they a nightmare?

I just can't seem to do anything right, they are constantly moaning about me. Don't think they like me very much

I'm sure that's not the case. How long have you been with DP? Some people are just judgemental

4 years, we have a DC who is 3. They seemed to like me at first and we all got along but as of late his family have been very horrible. They say nasty things about us which I didn't really pay much attention to but my DP brother moans that his dad pays more attention to our DC then him. This has resulted in his brother not talking to my DP and even being verbal abusive toward his father. Nightmare.

Mine lied to me and brought a paedophile (her partner) around my daughter for 4 years (never unsupervised, so I have no worries he has caused any harm to her, but we have spent a lot of time with him and he has been invited to several of my daughter's birthday parties around our friends' children). Then when it all came out, she continued to lie and refuse to talk to us about it because 'it happened a long time ago and he's nearly off the sexual offenders register now and we just need to get over it.' Needless to say, she no longer has any contact with our dd. Thankfully the rest of my dh's family are lovely and sort of agree she's a nutjob.

My DH family have always disliked me. His two sisters and mother in particular, although I get on with his brothers. His mother hit me last year (in front of my husband during an argument) - it was coincidentally the first time I had ever answered her back (stuck up for myself) . They are absolutely vile people, I've come to the conclusion they feel threatened by any new females joining the family .........

My MIL wanted to decide when my OH could ask me to marry him. She also told him his brother who died when he was a baby wouldn't have left her and then said they only had my OH because his brother died. I told my OH it was up to him to decide if/when he was going to ask me to marry him but if his mother decided, she would make every decision for the rest of his life. He stuck to his guns but it spoilt the surprise of him asking me. She claims she said it all because she was scared of losing him but we see them once a month if we are lucky now! She ignores my sons medical condition and pretends he is the grandson she expected to have instead....

*if they are lucky, not us!😁

Mindutpoia - that's awful, I couldn't imagine what I'd do in that situation. To have trusted someone and find out that they were hiding such a terrible secrete and allowing him around children also. Must've been scary for you

Redshoes2017 - I can't believe she hit you! I've never experience an argument that's turn physical, it almost did when my bf was arguing with his other brother. I can't handle confrontation at all

Charmatt - some mothers really control their children's live, even when there older. She probably was scared of the fact once he had made such a big commitment to you that your DH wouldn't be her lil boy anymore. I'm glad your okay now. Wish I only had to see them once a month, I see them everyday
