NBR: My MIL is a $%&*# (vent)

MrsBarkel2B

My mother was here this past week with her boyfriend, Tom, visiting and helping me get ready for the baby.  Saturday was my baby shower so Tom came at the end to help us cart stuff home and apparently, my MIL figured out that my mom (who's 49) and Tom live together.  It wasn't a secret we were trying to keep or anything it just never came up and to me it's no biggie but to my psycho MIL this is a "huge problem!"  So she called my husband today to find out more about their living situation and what we "planned to do about it" because Madelynn shouldn't be "exposed to that."

Um excuse me, $%&*#.  Your husband left for 2 weeks to my BILs house in AZ because he can't stand you but divorce isn't an option in your family. My mother is a big girl and can do whatever she wants, live with whatever she wants and it's none of her da*n business.  And as for MY CHILD.  I would rather her see her grandma living in "wedlock" that be ANYTHING like her other grandma - a royal $%&*# who can't keep her nose out of other people's business.  She should be more worried about her own crumbling marriage than my mother's relationships and she better NEVER EVER tell me what or how to raise my child or she will NEVER see her.  EVER. 

She should be ashamed.  My mother came all the way to NY to help us get ready for the baby.  She lives 45 minutes away and has never offered to help, even when I was on bed rest.  Then my mother who raised me alone and continues to work 2 jobs bought us a ton of clothes and the rocker AND the packnplay but she, who doesn't work at all but is very well off managed to buy her first grandchild nothing but a few onesies and a baby blanket.  

God help that woman if she calls me or emails me today.  I will rip her a new one and yes, I will FINALLY tell her where to shove her hypocritical bull!!!

 

Vent over!

Wow.  I normally hate these MIL vents, but you have every right to be upset.  It is too bad that people have no tact and do not think before they speak.  I am sure your DH is supportive of you, so hopefully he can set his mother straight. GL!

Wow.....I would have a hard time not ripping her a new one...Some people will never keep their nose out of other people's buisness...I'm sorry

Whoa sounds like that was a vent that was a long time coming towards her. What does your DH think? That is crazy that she is like that. Hope see does not call you today.

*polarbear*

Ohhhh my. I would be as pissed as you are. Who the hell does she think she is. So do tell.... what did you / are you going to say to her? (Or make DH say to her)? I'm all about putting people in their place when necessary! GL with that mess. After reading the 1st para I was like daaaaamnn

I agree with pp... this is DEFINITELY a vent-worthy MIL story... what a b!tch... you need to lay down the law woman!!

JMRoberts

agreed, she needs to get a handle on her own life...

mommastemme

Oooohhh . . . does she not understand the raging hormones that are running amuck right now?  I can't wait to see how this one turns out!  Kick her asss!  You are tough; you and Maddie survived a belly-flop mid dog chase, so I know you can handle that biitch!

Sorry you too have an overly opinionated, rude, prying MIL... sounds like mine... she'll give her judgemental opinion on everyone's business but has a fit if anyone dared even hint at the slightes critization of her behavior.

Sorry, but all you can do is to tell your hubby to tell her that it is not her place to pry and judge.  Coming from you may just make things worse.  Your hubby needs to set the boundaries with her more strongly.
