my boyfriends mom feels she needs to be included on everything, including halmark holidays like sweetest day. i feel that day is only for sweethearts, hence, sweetest day. i called her to wish her a happy mother-in law day, (another halmark holiday) she blew me off, because i did not call her on sweetest day, or send her something. i don't feel i should have to deal with it every time she cops an attitude about something so petty, maybe i'm wrong, i just do'nt know any more.

You are not wrong at all, hell if its not a real holiday in the rest of the country I'm not going to bother to call my mother in law, well ex mother in law now. But shoot, she should not be throwing these little petty fits. You are both mature women, don't worry about it! Not to mention, if she can't get over it forget her...its her son your living with anyway not her, god forbid not her!!!

Sounds like your mother in law, has you in the position to guilt trip you and things. That is a bad position to be in. I don't hate my mothers in law (I have 2 because my husbands parents are divorced) but I never let them think that they are my friends and that they can guilt trip me. I get along with them well but we don't hang out or anything so they know not to expect me to call them and sit on the phone with them and things.
Maybe she thinks you are her gal pal and that you should be remembering her on the hallmark holidays like you would a friend or maybe she is guilt tripping you because she knows she can get to you.
Maybe you should do her the same way and try a guilt trip her for not remembering to send you things on these hallmark holidays and give her a taste of her own medicine.

She seems like a Beyotch but you have to learn to deal just to keep the peace for your b/f sake. Send her e-cards they are free and make a phone call in the future it doesnt hurt anyone and like I said it keeps the peace I know I have one of those in-laws and its just easier to do it rather than fight about it cuz they will never give up on it. Trust me. If you love this guy just do it but just know in the back of your head you are only doing it for the sake of you man. Good Luck!

Maria, if there's anyone you should be ready to understand from now, I believe that person is your bf's mom. See, she'll soon become your mother-in-law. I hope you know that. From what you've said here, I think the problem is that you've NOT yet understood her enough. When you do, you'll discover that she's sweet and nice. I hope you'll do that fast.

You called to wish her a happy mother-in-law day? Thats crazy, she's not your mother-in-law, she's your boyfriends mom. She sounds way too high maintenance.

How gross! You're not dating his mom. I would not do that.
