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!
Originally posted by jacksonsmom 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!!!!! 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 (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.
I DETEST my MIL. She is EVIL in the purest form.
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! When DH confronted her she SWORE it wasn't her - little did SATAN know that we have CALLER ID
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!!!
All I have to say is, it is really sad that she hates me more than she loves her son!
