Worst MILs

So I always get a kick out of reading all the posts about awful ILs, usually MIL.
So here's a thread to share your absolute WORST moment with your MIL! (or whatever IL you have the worst memory with)
This discussion has been closed.
Re: Worst MILs
Mine, it's actually with FIL.
He and MIL were picking me up one day (without DH) from my parents house. Don't even remember what for. Anyway...I get in the car and FIL starts off on a rant about how STUPID people are for living just off of a main road because of how loud it is and all the traffic. He went ON and ON about how STUPID people like that are.
My parents live just off a main road. So he's basically calling my parents stupid several different ways over and over for a solid hour. I was pissed.
I understand you and my parents have different ways of life. You like in the middle of no where and that's fine. (Literally...20 minutes from the nearest town, the nearest town having 300 people in it...). We don't judge you for how you live, so stop judging us just because we're different from you...
I cant think of a specific one ATM but mine will complain to my own mother about me. She is going to tell me, duh!
I may be back with more rants later.
P.S. I enjoy hearing about other's MILs too.
I am jealous of those of you who have a decent relationship with yours.

One more, love when she complains to DH about me or send him text messages about me. 1. He always tells me 2. I read all the text. 3. Does she really thing he doesn't tell me what she is saying?

I'll start with FIL. He owned 2 houses one with his gf of 13 years and one he bought to flip but ended up just letting it sit for 10 years. So DH and I proposed that we will live in the flip house, do all the fixing and buy it from him. We all thought this was a great idea and since we're family we don't need to put anything in writing. Well 3 years later FIL breaks up with his gf and moves in with us. He tells DH that I am lazy and useless and I need to be keeping this house spotless and every time he sees me I'm just sitting on the couch doing nothing. Mind you at the time I had 2 jobs and school. DH is used to his parents being very critical of him but I guess criticizing me was the last straw and they got in a huge fight.
After the fight FIL told us to get the fuck out. So we found an apartment and left 2 weeks later. I got a storage unit and took all the appliances we bought and that pissed him off bad. End of the story FIL has not spoken to us in a year and a half and has never met his grandson. We didn't even tell him I was pregnant but he found out through family.
She's your basic manipulative MIL who poses as the perfect Christian.
Why do the men always luck out and get the good MIL? Lol
My MIL is Portuguese and THANK GOD lives in Portugal. She has been here to see LO (her 1st grandchild) for the past two months and FINALLY leaves Jan. 9th. To say that we have a culture clash is an understatement. I don't know if it is a good thing or bad thing that she doesn't speak English, on one had we can't "get to know" each other; on the other hand I don't think she would like to hear what I have to say.
And example of things she has done to drive me NUTS!!!!
1. Caught my stove on fire, she cooks with oil and lets it spill over EVERYTIME!
2. Spilled OJ on my carpet and instead of trying to clean it up she hid it with an end table for me to find weeks later!
3. Her cooking is AWFUL yet she won't let me cook in my own kitchen, if I try she gets all possessive of the kitchen and lingers over me and doesn't give me space until I get so uncomfortable that I leave.
4. Our new cooktop is a glass covered cooktop, (I was so hesitant to get it because I knew she would ruin it). We told her she needed to be careful and try not to let anything spill over and burn the top. The very first thing she cooked she let spill over and then used STEEL WOOL to try to get it off!!!!!!! She's an idiot!!!!!
5. With poor DS, she YELLS/talks to him, she cackles at him like a witch, she keeps jamming the pacifier in his mouth even though he clearly doesn't want it (I have since hidden them all), she "rocks" him in her arms and almost flips him completely upside down, she isn't the least bit gentile. My husband is A.D.D. and now I know why, she is the least calming most over stimulating person to a baby.
6. We don't feed our dog much people food at all, but she does...in spite of us telling her not to. Poor dog has had the runs for 2 months now.
7. I am allergic to seafood since I became pregnant, it has been making me barf for 7 months now. So of course she cooks it a few times a week for DH. My house REAKS of seafood all the time...this is exactly what I want to be smelling considering the recent effects it has on me.
8. This visit was supposed to be 6 weeks MAX. My husbands cousin and her decided to make it for 3 months without asking us...SO RUDE!
Can someone please explain to me why my MIL felt the need to bring LO into the bathroom with her when she had to go, and then instead of hurrying up in there, decided to take a video of LO sitting on her lap on the toilet???
