Just for funsies: What would your in-laws say?

deedee1017

We did this once with the question of what would our husbands say, but if your MIL/FIL/other ILs were on a forum like TB, what do you think they'd say about you?  Aaaaaaand go!

jennlin

i'm fat, dress like a tramp, and have no respect for adults.

@jennlin -- GAWD, what is with all the fat BS directed your way?  If you're fat than the rest of the world is made up of obese whales.

ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.. maybe not so funsie after all?  #-o

I think mine would pretend that she agrees that she has the greatest dil ever.  She would talk about all the things I do for/with dd.  She'd talk about how great I am, etc.  

If she were being honest with how she feels she'd probably say I'm a know it all,  I'm too straight forward, and I have a mouth on me. 

:-@

Yeah, this isn't going to go well for most people.    

MIL and FIL would say they are disappointed their son didn't marry someone Asian, that we need to let them babysit already, that we're turning LO against them because she screams and cries when she visits, and that we don't visit enough.  

SIL2 would say I stole her brother from her, tore apart the family, and wishes we would get divorced.  

SIL1 would say she loves me like the sister she wishes she could have had and that she's glad I see through her family's BS (at least one of my ILs likes me )

I'm controlling and don't let them see the kids enough.

You know because once a week isn't enough.

I actually really like my IL's and as far as I know... they really like me. Only thing I can think of is that MIL didn't like that I BF for so long because she always wanted to feed DS. Now she'd probably say I need to spend more time cleaning my house.

I don't like this game. (

MIL would probably say I'm a bossy know-it-all. Which I am, but I try really hard not to be. It's a daily struggle. My DH first wife was a bitch and not nice to my in-laws. So pretty much anything I do is a step up in their eyes. Lucky for me!

hey, mine might be on here some day. She is dating a 35yo after all..

I honestly have no idea what my MIL would say. Truth be told, she's so strange and self-absorbed, I doubt she'd think enough of me to want to say anything at all. Maybe that I don't send enough cards? This from the woman who sent her grandson a Happy Halloween card the first week in October, then sent me a text wishing Cam a happy birthday on the 19th (his birthday is the 14th). TBH, she gets along better with me than with her son.

Sorrrryyyyy! I was just trying to get some action on this board.

MIL passed away 2 years ago so she never knew us as parents but I know her well enough to say she would say I'm amazing and loving and try my hardest. But that I am overly cautious with DS and that she doesn't understand new things.

FIL and SMIL would say we don't come over enough. That I'm over bearing and that they have raised kids and know what they are doing even if it isn't my way. But they respect me enough to do it my way because I am the parent.

MIL would say nice things about me but she would get every story about 80% wrong.  Also my babies are geniuses and understood the English language at 3 months. 

 

SIL would start off saying something nice about me but would quickly bring the story around so that it was about herself and how difficult her daughter is and how she gave up everything and her daughter is so ungrateful and she can't figure out why because she was BEST FRIENDS with her mother and she thought she would be best friends with her daughter.

I like my MIL and I *think* she likes me too. We both have our faults, of course, but I have never said anything bad about her, so I hope she wouldn't say anything bad about me. I think she would say she loves how much I love and take care of "her boys."

I'm not going to touch on either of my SILs, though.

5speckledfrogs

We have a good relationship so i hope it doesn't sound like I'm tooting my own horn. My ILs would say I'm a great mother and wife and that I do a lot for my family (and their family). FIL would say he's impressed that I can do "manly" things every once in a while and MIL would say I cook well but don't bring LO over enough.

I like my inlaws and I think that for the most part they like me. I think they would say I'm good for dh and they are glad he married me. I'm sure mil also thinks I'm overbearing and loud and a control freak when it comes to DD, but she wouldn't be completely wrong.

i'm huge for an asian girl. we're pretty much wired to be 95 pounds and hungry. i got the hungry part down, but not 95.

LetsGoToDisney

A lot of ambiguous diggs about my personality and parenting style. She often says things like "I never thought you would let your baby play with other children at a park," "How odd that you let her pick out her own clothes" or "I am surprised you allow her to finger paint"

I'm not sure if MIL knows she had a DIL...

Mil thinks I have a lot of newfangled ideas that are just weird (baby led weaning, babywearing, etc). Also, since she is an almost nun, I'm morally corrupt for being married to someone who is still "married to someone else in the eyes of our lord and savior Jesus Christ" (that's a direct quote, she does not believe in divorce).

So she's talking about her son? Why is she side eyeing you for that??

SHAWNACPA

My MIL has kind of lost her marbles in the past year and a half (as you might remember from my previous posts). I think she would say that I am too independent. She would also say that I am too blunt and up front and that I hold grudges. 

TBH, I do hold a grudge against her for being a complete asshat to my child!!

That I'm a bossy bitch. I am. It would be the truth.

Lia1303 said:

@MangoMama82‌ yeah. She thinks DH is also morally corrupt for getting the divorce. But in her mind, no self respecting woman would date/marry a man who is already committed to someone else as far as God is concerned.
She's actually gotten a lot better since DS has been born, but every once and awhile she will make some sideways comment. Which usually ends up in DH telling her that we will leave if it continues.

:-O

I'm 110% sure that my MIL has found me on TB because she keeps tabs on everyone and finds ways to have "dirt" on them. The things that we have heard that she has said about me, my family and her Son (my husband) are absolutely crazy and hard to believe they would come out of the mouth of a Mother.
