Question

Current mood - Pulling my hair out with frustration.

Answer 1

Mine's OK - could be a LOT worse!

Answer 2

I don't hate my mother in law - I have had some minor issues with her in the past but still love her nonetheless. My mother, however, is a different story!

One of the major reasons my sister's marriage broke up was over her MIL's attitude and interference and insistence that she was never good enough for her son. If you can't find common ground with her, maybe it's time your wife talked to her. Remember, like it or not, this is still the woman who birthed and raised the woman you love and your wife is probably having a hard time too if you and her mom aren't getting along. Worse case scenario - you don't see your MIL until things change. It will show you respect yourself and your marriage by extricating yourself from any potentially volatile situations. Good luck with everything...Oh yeah - and scream if you have to (just in private!)

Answer 3

Your spouse is the person they are either because of or in spite of her.

If it's "because," then try to see her good qualities and remember we all have faults.

If it's instead, look at how he or she deals with her and try to do the same.

If she's a "broken" person, know you can't fix her and just be civil. It takes two people to argue and fuss. When her head spins around and she starts speaking trash, just try to say something disarming and change the subject. "Oh, that's an interesting thing to say. Did I tell you how sweet your son was last week? He (insert some random act of chivalry here.)"

Answer 4

And she's what, loving every minute of it?
You're letting her push your buttons. she know exactly how you're going to react when she says something snide or insulting or does something annoying and claims a phony innocence.
And YOU'RE letting her! The only way to stop the stupidity (before you commit murder) is by just not letting her get to you. Easier said than done, I know, but with patience a workable medium can be achieved.
Besides, when she realizes you're not blowing your top anymore at everything she does, she'll knock it off. It won't be fun anymore.

Answer 5

My mother in law is really snooty, she has never given my children nothing more then $5.00 for birthdays and Xmas
Yet she has a wardrobe with tags still hanging on the clothing and is constantly buying things from the shopping channel (for herself)....I don't like her selfish ways and whenever you talk to her its all about how depressed she is and she wants a better life and blah blah blah. She never asks How we are doing?

Answer 6

well my current MIL is in a nursing home and I haven't met her. My ex mother in law on the other hand, the first time I met the old bitty she called me a fat cow and said why don't I go on a diet because I huffed and puffed like a pig when I walked (which I don't, I'm not THAT much overweight, and SHE had NO room to talk as she was wayyy bigger than me!) Also, I tried to help her with the dishes after supper on our first visit to her house, and I picked up a dish towel to start drying the dishes that she was washing and she snatched the dishtowel out of my hands and said "I don't dry my dishes with a towel, it puts lint on them!!" real hateful like. I hated her. Thank god she's my ex. After my ex husband remarried he told me his mother said "Thank god you got rid of that horrible woman and finally married a good one."

Answer 7

I can not say anything about a mother-in-law but most of the women I dated had good to great mothers except one. I loved her and her two kids but her mother, if I had stayed with her there may have been a murder. One of us would have killed the other.

Answer 8

I feel for you, bro! I hate my mother in law too. We (my fiancee and I plus all our friends) think her mom's really bi-polar but doesn't want to admit it.

It's so bad that whenever they want to do something with us I decline and find something else to do while my fiancee goes to see her parents. I haven't really talked with her parents for the better part of a year.

Hey look at it this way..at least you don't HAVE to like or be friends with your mother in law if you don't want to! You don't have to answer to anyone besides your wife!

Answer 9

I hate mine, seems like she can't accept the fact that her daughter is happily married and tries anything and everything to jeapordize our relationship and that is the legit reason that I can say has made me feel that way towards her.

Answer 10

my exs mother used 2 drive me nuts when ur daughter was born she would be smokin in the same room as her and if i gave out 2 her about it the 2 of them would gang up on me

Answer 11

I don't really, really, really, really, really hate my mother-in-law but she does irk me pretty badly at times. It's probably a good thing she lives three hours away (driving) and she fears traveling on the highways. LOL!
