GIRL.. Been there done that. BUT.. my ex mother in law was living with us in military housing. And let me tell you every day i wanted to strangle her.. Nothing i did satisfied her. I worked 72 hours a week come home clean the house make dinner wash dishes.. Made sure my kids showered all that.. She didn't work she did nothing. I lived out of my room. My ex husband NOW was such a mama's boy that he didn't care. i cleaned after her and she didn't appreciate nothing.. So it got to the point where i said i can live like this. One day she called me a b1tch and my ex husband just stood there like a idot. Didn't care at all! She screamed about everything. Didn't allow my kids to have friends over because they were loud and what not.. So I know how you feel. GOOD LUCK. least your mother in law doesn't live with you!! BUT worst came down to it. I backed talked her once and my ex husband beat the crap outta me and thats why we are divorced!

Some people just never change. I've been married for over a year and I still dread visits with the in-laws. I've learned to just put on a happy face and imagine I am somewhere else. I suggest you avoid as much contact with your mother-in-law as you can, it will make you a happier person.

Ah, in-laws. Aren't they great? Actually, mine are very good to me (thank God), but my husband is not great to them. That is what causes the friction between us. I just about grind my teeth down to nothing whenever they visit because the tension is so thick. He has always had a tough relationship with both his parents and my relationship with my parents is wonderful. The in-laws are visiting again at the end of Septmeber and I am actually dreading the visit. I have no words of advice. Good luck.

Love my fil really have problems with my mil, Can't do anything right, not raising my kids right, expect too much from my husband, you name it i've either not done it right or i'm about to do it wrong. My husband just lets her tear strips off me, says he's not getting involved as doesn't want to have to side with either of us. I just ignore her and do everything my way. Thankfully i don't see her very often. Although i have no doubts even that is wrong. Apparently i was the wrong person for her son to marry..........Surprise!!
Fil is fab, always tells her to mind her own business and is soooooo supportive. Been married 7 years can't see it getting any better. But, if she thinks i'm looking after her in her later years she can forget it!!! Good luck with yours

The best thing to do is to try to overlook your mother in law...I know that is hard...I have been married for almost 2 years but have been with my hubby for 6 years...and trust me...I have had my fair share of problems with the in-laws....It does suck...I always hoped that my mother in law and I would get along so good and could go shopping together and all of that...but oh no..haha...She means well...and I know that...But she still tries to baby my husband to death...We recently moved far far away from our family and she sends him boxes of stuff like body wash, toothbrushes, socks...stuff like that...It bothers me, because i feel as if she doesn't think we are capable of taking care of ourselves..But i guess that's just the mother instinct...I don't have any children yet...so i don't know....Hopefully things get better for you tho...Just remember, you aren't married to your in-laws!!

ya i don´t blame you. I just wish i had done my ex mother in laws neck but my marriage ended so it saved me the hassle. At the end of the day, no one is ever good enough for their little son´s or daughters what ever the case may be. Just ignore her and what ever you do be yourself, don´t let her put you down. With my ex mother in law , nothing was right with me, she did not like my tast in clothes, my hair, what i did with decor in my home, nothing. Now i am a different person, i am myself !!

I get along with mine but sometimes it's hard. She can be annoying at times! She is kind of bossy & everything you do she has done it better if you know what I mean. She exaggerates a lot & stretches the truth sometimes too. One time she told me that my mother was not outgoing. Can you believe that?? Anyway I didn't marry her. I married her son so I keep trying to tell myself that. Good luck!!

I am actually very fortunate. I love my inlaws very much. They are like my parents to me. We get along but we also have our agruments about things and we work them out. But I love them, I live next to them. We have good days for the most part. For our wedding she only had two things to say and she had very good points and explained things very well and we ended up doing things. My parents actually said just because it's tradition, so what does this mean? That doesn't mean anything to me. But I know a lot of people who don't get a long and that is weird to me I didnt' realize this until I started working where I am working now because growing up my parents have always gotten along with their inlaws.

My mother in law always starts with the words " I'm not telling you what to do but".. She has good intentions but sooooooooooo annoying!!! To top things off if I suggest something my other half says no but if his mum suggests the same thing - well need I say more????

Mine live at the other end of the world and I find them annoying so the answer is yes! Maybe its because they are nearly family but no quite so close that you feel you can get things off your chest properly they way you would with your blood family.
