I'm serious, she lies so much that she even believes her own lies! I have stayed away from her cause of the bad influence she could have on my children. This is someone that got arrested and gave her sisters name! Her sister had to get a lawyer just to clear her own name! Do you think it's wrong for me to keep my kids away from their grandmother?

Personal experience(not mother-in-law) just a liar.
1-Liars never admit to telling lies no matter how big or small the lie may be.
2-It's a no win situation to confront a liar, you will come out looking like the bad person EVERYTIME!
3-Professional help is a no win situation because they will lie, cry, and turn everything around to where they are the victims, no matter what the situation is.
4-Yes they do believe thier own lies I think,that way they never have to own up and admit to being in the wrong.
5-No you are not doing anything wrong by keeping your kids away from this toxic, sick person, you are doing the greatest thing a mother that cares about her kids would do.
6-Be proud of yourself, stand your ground,and never let her get to you if she does don't let her know she did that's her goal.
Good luck sweetie, I feel sorry for you having to be in this crappy situation because I know it's very stressful.

You really should have a talk with her. If she really cares about her grandchildren and would like to continue to see them then tell her the lies have to stop, otherwise you will have no choice but to keep them away for your kid's sake. Sometimes the truth can scare a person straight. You are only doing what any good mother would do, and that is think of how this relationship with their grandmother in its present state would effect them. Good luck...

No, I don't think it's wrong to keep the kids away from a bad influence like her... you certainly don't want them learning from her behavior.
She needs serious professional help... stay away from her as much as possible.
Sounds like nothing good would come from associating with her anyway.

Get together with everyone else in the family that agrees with you and have an intervention. Then simply tell her to get help or she can't see the grandkids because of the negative impact she's having on them. Maybe she doesn't see her "lies" as a problem.....show her and you better have some examples....ones that she can't lie her way out of.

Sounds like your mom-in-law is a pathological liar and needs professional help,and no,I don't blame you for keeping your children away from her. Your husband needs to put his foot down and stand beside you on this and confront his mother. He needs to tell her that if she does'nt get help and stop lying,then none of you want anything else to do with her!

Bad influences come in all forms, including a grandmother. No, I don't believe you're wrong

If she's a pathological liar and a criminal, I would keep the kids away from her. Your husband needs to set her straight.

By what you have stated, I don't think your children should never be around her at least alone. I do hope that your husband supports you in this. Best of luck with this, it's never easy when it's family.
