my mother-in-law is so rude! on the day i had my baby she talked s!@$ about me to every one there. i asked every one to be quite so i could consentrate on my labor pains and they were quite all exept her. she kept her cell phone on and would not be quite when asked instead made rude remarks! and after i had the baby i was tired so i was resting and i kept hearing this annoying clicking noise that wouldnt stop, i opend my eyes and she was clicking in the babys face and swinging around like a lunatic! i told her to stop and she gave me a dirty look and kept doing it!!! and she kept trying to call my baby different names because she didnt like the ones we chose. and way before all of this she was late to our wedding by like 45 minutes! ugh! SO MY QUESTION IS WHAT IS YOUR WORST MOTHER-IN-LAW STORY?

I have several, I really can relate with your story, other than I told my husband, doctor and nurses to keep my inlaws out of the labour room! When my oldest was only 6 days old my inlaws came over and "told" us how it was going to be or they would "get grandchildren from their other children" (good luck there, neither of the girls wants kids). We had to let them smoke around the baby, let them take him whenever they wanted in their vehicle (no back seat!) & though we had always split holidays 50/50 between them and my parents that wasn't good enough and they "deserved" more time with us! Then when I left the room in tears, my MIL told my husband that I wasn't taking good enough care of him, all I did was stay home with the baby all day and should have had dinner on the table for him!!!!! I hadn't had a hot meal all day since every time I cooked something my son needed to eat.
My husband is military and was away soon after our son was born and my MIL told him she had invited me to a family party when she hadn't (I think she was going to tell people I didn't come because I hated them) I showed up anyway.
We now live about 5000km away. This summer we took a month to drive out and visit family. We told them over and over again when we were coming, where we were staying and how long. Never heard a word back. We were there 3 days when we finally heard from them and they HAD to see us the next day because they were going out of town! We already had plans, but of course it is our fault we didn't see them.
Thank you for this question, I actually feel better now!

WOW! I feel so sorry for you! That must be horribe! I don't have a bad mother-in-law, but I did have a horrible father-in-law. When I had my first baby, he stayed at the hospital the entire day, trying to get my husband to go outside and smoke with him! Then, when my husband acutally went outside with him, they were gone for 30 minutes! While I was inside in excrutiating pain! And after I had my epidural and was trying to rest before I had the baby, my father-in-law would not stop talking. I tried everything to show him that I wanted to rest, including pulling the blanket over my head, but he just got louder and louder. Then, when the Dr. would come in to check me, he wouldn't leave the room until we spelled it out for him!!! Oh, and anytime he would ever come to our house, he always told my husband that is was a woman's job to stay in with the kids, while the man went out, and he would try to get my husband to go fishing or something and leave me home alone with the kids. He was very rude to me, and caused a lot of problems in my marriage.

Now thats rude. I was a very good daughter-in-law, I would call my husbands mother on a daily basis just to see how she was that particular day. I would include them in everything we did, even over my own family. This women would come to babysit our children on the occasion that my husband and I go out for dinner, when we'd get home, everything would be rearranged, my furniture, my kitchen counters,she even went as far as rearranging whats inside my cabinets.....Don't know who watched the kids, we were only gone a few hours. She would say, oh I thought this would look nice like this, or I was only trying to help. (she'd also do laundry) Even if my husband said something to her, she'd ignore it and do it again the next time, We finally stopped asking her to sit for us and got a real sitter to come in. I sympathize with you.. Everything seems to be about her.. Make sure though you abd your husband are on the same page with how to handle her, you don't want them both on your crap list...My husband would just say to me, you handle it and whatever you want to do is fine with me... My mother-in-law passed away a few years ago and you know what.... I really do miss her and her antics. Oh by the way, My husband loved my mother and she him, she never ever over stepped her bounds,ever.

Hmm married an only child so here's the list.
#1 MIL told me to abort my twins, 2. Complained after I had the babies that she was not allowed to see them, ummm they were born 9 weeks early and had to go to NICU, and never asked me how I was doing while in recovery. 3. Called me a nasty wench because I didn't want her stank dog around my kids (they were 2 months old). 4. Told my husband that I wouldn't let her see the kids..I was pumping milk from my breast and she wanted to stay in the room and watch. 5. Talked smack about my parenting skills in front of her family and rechanged the babies minutes after I did it. 6. Crying because I haven't spoken to her since July and she wants to know when my baby is due...for some dumb reason she thinks she is supposed to be in the delivery room. Upset because my husband told her NO! 7. Says that I don't feed her son..umm he is 340 lbs, he eating something.

My mother in law(s) have been great. Don't understand why so many people have such problems with them. The only problems I had were their sons!
