My mother in law is like the bad dream that wouldn't end. My husband and I thought we had seen it all when it came to her. But recently she sent some sort of greeting card or what have you to someone and it's been getting around. I didn't want to be petty and get back at her but this has been going on for 2 years and he and I can't stand it. Could you guys please help us find a card, funny comic or anything you can think of to help us. She's gone too far and it's really past the point of annoying. I can't believe she's this old and still has nothing to do with her time. I wish I could be sorry for doing it this way but I'm not. He and I have too many other things so worry about. I appreciate your help in advance.
Hope y'all can help us.

Hello,
Your mother in law sent out a inappropriate greeting card, and instead of talking with her like adults would you are trying to find another card or ? to get her back. I'm I reading that right?
It sounds like this sort of behavior runs in the family......Just talk to her like the adults you are. Show the mother in law there is other ways of communicating besides the childish ways.

I don't know what terrible thing that was in that card to get you so upset. And I don't know your mother-in-law.
But I have found, that the trouble with most mothers-in-law, is jealousy. Yes I said jealousy. She has nurtured and raised her son for over 18 years. And now she feels that she is no longer needed, or that her son loves his wife more then her. What most of them need is to feel needed and wanted. Kill her with kindness. Make her think that she is still important in her sons life. Even if you have to listen to advice that you will later ignore. Look at it this way, you will some day be in her shoes, if you have a son of your own.

Since you haven't really said what she has done, specifically, that is so terrible, I would just ignore her. Old ladies haven't usually got much of a life. Maybe you could get her interested in something so you won't be her priority any more. Does she play cards or like socializing? Is she in a home or on her own? Try and help her, you will all benefit believe me.

tell your fiance what got here approximately, alongside with which you mentioned some issues interior the warmth of the 2d. clarify why you do no longer want and could no longer placed on a veil. Make him understand which you're no longer fascinated in receiving suggestion from his mom on your wedding ceremony dresses. Then ask him to communicate to his mom. that's HIS relationship and he desires to take the lead, yet once you sense such as you could show regret then tell him you're keen to. i'm easily no longer asserting you're interior the incorrect. Your mom in regulation exchange into SO out of line and that's so no longer some veil. that's approximately administration, interest, and dropping her little boy. and perilous to no longer come on your man or woman son's wedding ceremony is infantile and particularly the only reaction to that's ok, do what you need to do. It basically seems such as you have further some exclamation factors there and probably a naughty be conscious or 2. (Who can blame you?) in case you will be the bigger individual (no great feat as she is SO small) and say, wow, Bertha, i assume i exchange into greater under pressure correct to the marriage than i found out. i'm sorry issues have been given out of hand. And patch issues over than her absence basically isn't this pall over your wedding ceremony. although: do no longer crumple and placed on that gross veil.

What exactly did she do? Most of us don't even understand but it is amusing to see how many automatically side with you and the mother-in-law is at fault even tho they don't even get what you are talking about.
Surprise Surprise!!!
It would be refreshing for the Daughter-in-laws to look in the mirror and STOP blaming their Mother-in-laws for all that goes wrong in their lives!! Grow Up and take responsibility for yourselves! Are you grown ups or what? I was 19 when I got married and have been married for 30 years. I can't imagine blaming my mother-in-law for all my uphill battles. Mother-in-laws just seem to be an easy scape goat. GROW UP!!

This is an old cruel joke! Tell her you want to come over to clean her windows one day. When she is not around put fish or eggs in the shade rods/poles. It will be impossible to find it. In a few weeks it ill go all threw out the house. It will be horrible. Try it my mom did it to her mother-in-law and the lady moved into a different house and sold her house for the maximum price of $12,000.00 Mother-in-laws are big bad pains in the butt. This will get her for sure!

Photo shop a picture of her to some bizarre setting. For example put her on a boat in the middle of the ocean with a bottle of Jack Daniels in her one hand and a cigar in the other. Send it out to everyone she knows and have the caption say "Wish you Were Here".

I'm really not very clear about what happened with your mother-in-law but I can tell you if you respond to her bad behavior the problems are only going to escalate! You have to be the bigger people. If you feel something must be said, let your husband do it, he's her blood. If you try and intercede with your mother-in-law it's going to blow up in your face.

My mil was the bad dream too, I finally told her to but out and quit acting like a teenager, and had complete support of my husband and she changed her tune quick. Now she wants to be my buddy and that is much better than wanting my head on a platter. lol
