My mother in law has admitted to me that she is jealous of me because I stole her son. She is very rude to my sister in law for the same reason. She immediately commented on her weight gain after the birth of her child and told her to hide her thighs. When my sister in law bought a nice blouse too look good for her hubby she daid are you not too fat for something nice like that. She is very rude to me a lot of the time as well. She is bossy and would prefer if I left her alone with my husband and my child. She told me to take my dog of 13 years to the humane society to be gassed when he had diabetes. She knows I love the dog...She also laughs all the time because my daughter looks more like my husband and she tells me that my daughter will love him more and may reject me because I am not Jewish. sometimes she is nice but all the bad makes it harder and harder to see. Am I wrong to not want to see this woman ?.

I have a very similar problem with my mother-in-law. Have you seen Monster in-law? (the movie) I have had to bite my tongue so many times because I love my husband and that's his mother. But, I could only take so much. Finally I had to fight fire with fire. I wrote her a letter about everything she has ever done/said to me that I hated about her. Since than she started being nicer and backed off with all of the insults. Let her know that you're going to be in her sons life forever and she's going to have to accept that. Don't let her belittle you any longer. Be strong. Obviously her son loves you so you have to be something special!

The woman has her own issues with not letting go of her boys.Can u not just move away from her that is just out right nasty. How do your partners feel about that. Talk to them all 4 of u should get together and plot a plan.

Well you are partly at fault for allowing this bad behavior to continue. Next time she is rude call her on it right then and there. I don't care if there are 50 people in the room. As I told my husband years ago. If you act like an *** I'm going to treat you like an ***

No, you are not wrong...
Just kick her out of your life, and if her son does not want it, insist. You will not put up with being insulted by anyone, not even a childish mother-in-law. Be a woman and stand strong.

Don't have any conversation with her and explain to your child that Grandma and Mommy don't get along and that Daddy will take her over there. I have the same problem but it is his Dad. He wines all the time so my man goes over to their house to fix things etc. His Dad does this on purpose I know and makes his own so feel guilty if he doesn't go over. I just stay away, they know he is mine! No kids in the pic though!
