Worst mother in law comments...go on join me in my misery lol!

[Flutterby10]

Go on tell me the worst things said to you by a mother in law?

Not saying they all bad btw I’ve had a couple of nice ones previously when younger.

Ive had pretty a pretty bad week with mine but I’ve decided I’m over it all now!

Mil I can cope with Sil on the other hand is complete complete different story! 20ys of her bs. I very almost left my marriage because of her as she was always interfering!

• Aren't you lucky that (DH) paid off the mortgage (no mention of my salary paying for other things, including clothing the children, food, Council Tax, etc)
• The man is always the breadwinner, no matter what (I currently earn more than DH)
• Well at least it isn't happening on our side of the family (my DF being diagnosed with terminal cancer when I was 22)
• I wanted to choose when..and if you get engaged and married (she didn't! We did!)

...I could go on!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Ooh look at your stomach I told you to put oil on so you don't get stretch marks.I never got any.
I was 8 months pregnant.
Bitch.
Oh well least I haven't got a face that resembles Madge from the Benidorm series

Bad snow and ice on the day of my mums funeral, her resposone she was a cold bitch

Mil hissed at me that dp's ex had wanted his dc when we announced I was pregnant.. Dp didn't hear. Or when she said ah well accidents happen! I was 42! We uninvited her from our wedding when she rang the hire shop and tried to change dp's outfit. Best bit we hadn't even seen her for 7 months and had no intention of her being there anyway!

Ex-MIL "You are not part of this family"... me and ExDP had been together 16 years by this point

One of many examples... a huge argument with DH telling him I must not really love him as he turned up to hotel breakfast with a slightly creased up t-shirt. I should be ironing his clothes. I had no idea what they were arguing over until he translated it later.

I put it down to cultural differences and try to explain that we don't live in the traditional society that she is used to. She still doesn't get it and even bought me a chopping board for my birthday that says 'best housewife' on it (in her language) like it is something aspirational! 😭 DH thought it was hilarious and says it would be a compliment in their country.

I feel she has good intentions but just comes from a totally different time/place.

Several over the years although we get on well day-day because I prioritise family harmony.

The worst was probably, on hearing we were having IVF: "Who's fault is it?"

I'm currently smarting because after several hints had been dropped we invited them for Xmas day, and her response was that she couldn't think about it because she was having flu vaccine side-effects. DH waited several days and invited them again, she said she'd come "if you've decorated the kitchen by then". (Context: we've been maxed out with a hideous building project that went over budget leaving us to complete various bits as we get the time and money together. My lovely mum has sent us money to help. My MIL's response is ... different.)

I have two although I wasn't officially a DIL to either women.
First asked their son in front of me 'can't you get yourself a decent girlfriend?'
The second 'I preferred their wife' . I wasn't OW.
The second was definitely a religious thing, but still.

You do know how lucky you are to be married to Dh - her best boy. She didn't agree that it cuts both ways. He is equally lucky.
Tried to write on DD birth certificate because Mary wasn't one of her given names.
Apparently ALL Catholic girls are obliged to be given that name

I had my hair highlighted and my MIL wagged her finger in my face and said ‘don’t go too blonde young lady’. I was about 32.

When I told her my son’s name she said ‘poor child’.

She’s an utterly vile woman and I truly despise her. However I have never been anything but pleasant to her, we have never had a crossed word. Keep your friends close and all that.

When we got engaged gave us a present and said ‘when you break up, talk to us about how much it cost before you sell it’

Actually it is a quite beautiful bronze bought from a dodgy antique dealer she knew and I have reason to suspect it should be in The British Museum.

Ha! My DPs told me and soon-to-be DH the same…..we didn’t get a say in anything to do with the wedding. When I asked to come to the caterer tasting I was told there was no point as my opinion was irrelevant.

This is scarily similar to my MIL! Except DH has been no contact since soon after our eldest was born over 5 years ago so now we just hear about the drama occasionally through his DB.

When a family member brought their new partner to a gathering MIL said "oh she looks like a younger version of itisme111" 🙄

I had infertility for years & lost 2 babies to miscarriage before I had Dd1 and she was 7 months old when we found out l was pregnant again. Our cup runneth over but all my MIL could say was , don't think l will be looking after the two of them together, she was so angry and said we were irresponsible getting pregnant again so quickly . She didn't have them to look after , until she asked me if she could and that was 4 years later . I have never forgotten how nasty she was , especially as l had been trying for years to get pregnant and she knew we were desperate for children. We always got on very well and l was very fond of her despite this .

When I was pregnant with our eldest - I’m not interested in grandchildren anymore

When she’d visited our new house - don’t bother inviting me again until you get a downstairs loo put in

This one was soon-to-be sis-in-law to my DH - NotSorry is very domineering

Needless to say I don’t bother with any of his side of the family

My ex-husband had an affair and left me.

One evening, ex-MIL phoned me and asked if I had the OW’s phone number!!!!!

When my husband asked her what she wanted to be called by our son
"Oh, he can call me mum!"

When she found out DH and I wanted to move in together straight after marriage and refused her plan to live separately for two years while DH paid her rent.

"If I had known what financial burden you'd bring, we would have spoken as a family about this marriage and reconsidered"

To my mum, when her husband left her (before I even met DH):

"When your daughter moved in with us, DH was so angry, he left!"

When police came for a welfare check after he was suspected of assaulting me:

"My cousin's husband bashed her head against the pavement until she started bleeding and had to go to the hospital. And even then she decided not to report it to the police. That is wrong!"

Because my husband and I were of different origins:

"My entire family opposed to your marriage. They said - Why would she go for a white girl?!"

I could go on and on and on and on

My (ex) MIL put indecent images of me on Facebook, made a fake account under my name and told all of my friends that I'm a prostitute 🙃

My MIL decided that because I don't identify as straight, I had to be a lesbian and was using my then fiancé as cover.

Begged for him to leave 3 days before the wedding just because she knew best.

Shouted at him when, after he had life saving brain surgery, he asked to come home to MY house not hers for his recovery. And then got cross when my mother helped him with all his care needs during rehab.

Told me off when I was in hospital after a collapse, because my husband was tired. At the time, I couldn't speak or move my legs.

We're both NC now

no freaking way!!
I hope you reported her crazy ass to the police

“ Some black people are very nice actually …” I’m not often lost for words but I was literally speechless, luckily my ( now late ) DH really told her off….. she was fucking vile and is now long dead……I could right a book on her sexist, racist, homophobic shite…..shudder…
