Mother In Laws!!!!Why are they so hideous ladies please share your horror stories?

Question

Did you husband help at all?

Man.....the moose must be a mother, and come on ladies get real most of us "there are exceptions" have to go through too many struggles. My mother in law allowed her son to be beaten by his step dad for 15 years, only to have it stop when he left her. When he turned 18 he left, and now he is 32 and she is still trying to make it up to him. She had no respect for me key word had until I got so pissed one day 2 years later and let her have it. Just like I can't help that she is his mother she can't help who he fell in love with and I am a great wife

Answer 1

My mother in law feels sorry for my husband. He thinks that I don't do anything at all..and that I should have a job so he doesn't have to work so hard.
The truth is..she was Missing In Action for most of my husband's life..having to work all of the time at menial jobs. He has very few memories of her being there at all.
Soo...I have learned to avoid her, and shrug off her unsubstantiated criticisms.

Answer 2

For the first year or two we were married it was tough - my hubby was used to the way his mom/family did things and stuck with it. He eventually snapped out of it and things got a lot better.
My mother in law isn't that bad - but she does think her way is best and that the way their family does things is the only right way. We often got into arguments over the way to do things - even how to wash clothes or cook. His family is from Europe and my family is upper class from the new england area - as you can imagine there is a huge cultural difference.
My husband helps a lot now - he even helps to buffer communication, which is helpful. Things have gotten better as time has gone on - but me and the mom in law still don't see eye to eye - and we don't hang out like her and her daughter do.

Answer 3

I haven't read ANY of the other stories "and I usually do"

here is mine.

My first husband and I were visiting his childhood home for the first time. The outside the beautiful. When we got in.....I thought I was going to lose my breakfast......the kitchen was filthy and I had to brush off roaches as I used the bathroom. She did try though.....the one room that was clean and well taken care of......the one she put us in. That made me feel a bit more comfortable.

The next day I found it hard to let my children eat in the house and explained that they "only ate fastfood". Finally I decided to clean it MYSELF and came home with 60 dollars worth of cleaning products. I must have puked 4 times while cleaning out the refrigerator. My ex's mom was not happy with my cleaning. Finally the kitchen was OK.....not great but OK.....and I was determined to get to the living room.

A smell was so horrible in there I couldn't fathom how people sat in there. I started with scrubbing walls and had to pull the couch away to do so......behind it was the BIGGEST, DEADEST RAT I had EVER seen. When I told my ex in-law about it. She looked at me completely serious and said......WELL.......WE DIDN'T HAVE RATS BEFORE YOU GOT HERE!

The end

Answer 4

I think that the husband is part of the problem. He'll run back and tell mama all of the negative things within the marriage, but never the positive stuff, therefore leaving the mother-n-law bitter; thinking that the wife is the devil. You both my help each other by keeping you biz amongst each other and be happy.

Answer 5

Ok here we go!

To start off with my Mom in law offered my husband 1,000 to leave me on our wedding day! She hates the fact that I have big boobs, so I now have to lock our bedroom door so that she doesn't come in and cut up my pretty bras or panties. When our son was 6 weeks old she left him outside a store by himself in his stroller, because she didn't want to bring in the stoller! To this day she tells me she didn't do anything wrong! We are now pregnant again and she doesn't want to have anything to do with this baby! I have no idea why she hates me! The only thing I can think of is that I am the ***** that took her baby boy away! I am a good woman, wife and Mom! It is her loss not mine!

Answer 6

Sorry to hear that you've had a bad experience with mother-in-laws. Mine used to come to our home and snoop through every cabinet and drawer in the house. She also sang the praises of the ex wife. Try not to let her know that she upsets you. Let her see that you plan to be a permanent fixture in your husband's life. Hopefully, she'll eventually get the message. Good Luck!

Answer 7

I know that my ex mother in law did not like me but she really showed herself when I had my first child her first grand child. At the time she lived 6 hours away. She know that I had been in labor for a week. When my ex called and told her the day after Thanksgiving that her first grand child was there. She so so I will see you next weekend. And that I was not going to ruin her holiday weekend. When she did come a week later she actually said she thought he was not my husbands. He acted like there was nothing wrong with her saying it. The same thing happened when I had my second son.

Then right before I kicked my ex out we had moved into a new house we had just built. Our oldest is allergic to cigarette smoke. So we did not allow for people to smoke in the house for his health. We made a den in the garage for smokers. She said she did not feel welcome in my home since she had to go out to smoke. My ex actually tried to make me allow for her to smoke in front of our son. And make him sick just to make his mom happy.

There are more reasons for why he is an ex but his mom did not help.

Answer 8

Sorry but my ex-mother-in-law was wonderful. Even after her son and I divorced we still kept in touch. Unfortunately, I have since moved away and we no longer talk but I will never say a bad word about her. She was an absolute treat to know.

Answer 9

omigosh my horror story is this my mother in law is a psychologist and she got into my mind and then told my husband everything now she calls me and trys to do it all the time shes cool but yeah she is weird at the same time.. but she just asked about hte relationship and ended up tellin her even know that is sorta my fault too because your really not suppose to tell but still

Answer 10

All terrible mothe in laws graduated from the same school. No more notorius is mine. She demands we pay for everything for her and acts like Oh, woe is me and noone can help me but my only son. Mind you , she has a doting husband, but ignores him. My husband is a softie when she goes off the deep end with her dramatics and I am so frustrated at times as she finds ways to enter our lives in pitiful stories...

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!
