Let's talk in-laws

Two words best describe my inlaws (MIL now RIP):

Emotional vampires

(robbed me of all my energy and emotion for the first 5 years of marriage, the remaining 12 I demanded it back...... :p )
 
Wow! It helps knowing that I'm not alone with this one! ;) I've been really struggling with my relationship with my in-laws. We're very, very different people and in short, they don't like it! They want me to be someone I am not. When I try to voice my opinions, I'm told that I'm "young and will learn as I get older".... Ugh! Thankfully I have a wonderful husband!
 
I'm thankful each and every day that my in-laws gave me my DH.

Sappy, I know; but it's how I feel
 
I'm the reverse... I love my inlaws, can't stand my parents.

Talk about cheap, when my son was born, she came up to the hospital & while most people bring a card or a little gift for the baby, she brings up 3 garage sale outfits!!!!! :rolleyes: I know they were garage sale outfits because there were stains on them!!! Needless to say, they went right in the TRASH!!
I just thought that was rude. I would never bring garage sale clothes up to the hospital when the baby isn't even 24 hours old.


Hey, at least you got that much! I begged my DH to make them come to see our baby! They finally came 2 weeks later :mad: (they lived 7 miles away) & brought NOTHING.

To save our marriage, we moved 2000 miles away & now life is good. Can't remember the last time I spoke to them.

Oh & since we've had another child. So they send a whopping $5 check for my kids b-days & Christmas. Last year they sent nothing but who cares anymore? What do they expect us to buy with $5 for our kids? I put the money in their savings passbook. :rolleyes:
 
Lets start a cheap inlaws support group;)

Well at least we all know we will be good tou our grandchildren.
 
I DETEST my MIL. She is EVIL in the purest form.:earseek:
She has hated me and my family since day one, and has no qualms about letting it be known.
She used to tell my husband on a daily basis what a horrible son he was for "abondoning" her and constantly asking him if I had brainwashed him!!
She knows I stay home with our baby on Fridays - so for a month straight she would call as soon as DH left in the morning at about 5:30 a.m. just to wake me and the baby up!:mad: When DH confronted her she SWORE it wasn't her - little did SATAN know that we have CALLER ID::yes::
My husband finally cut all ties with her when she kept insisting that DS looked nothing like him and he might want to check that out!!!:headache:

All I have to say is, it is really sad that she hates me more than she loves her son!:(

BTW I have WONDERFUL parents that love me AND DH!:sunny:
