I Can't Stand My Mother-in-law

My MIL, who lives with us because she feels she is too (too good) old to work (62), volunteered to help with the baby. We've actually had more drama than help with her, its very frustrating. To make the story short, she lost her job...

My mother in law and I started with an okay relationship, I got married and had a baby right away. So I didnt get to see everything about how she is until after I got married. It might have been a deal breaker now that I think back on...

Due to the fun US economy and a previous agreement between my husband and his parents, I have to live with my in laws. But its not just mommy and daddy, no, I live with mommy dearest's entire side of the family. Including us, there's...

Pain in the butt mother-in-law
I just received a degree in a profession that I really do love, when I first decided to go after this degree my mother-in-law in the most annoying voice you could possibly speak in says to me "what...

(We used to live with my husband's parents, not anymore!)
The first year living at my Husband's parents' house, for Thanksgiving, I was given the honor of making the desserts.  So I set out to find the "best" pumpkin pie recipe online...

My MIL is a real piece of work. She grew up in a household with servants and was very spoiled. She was pretty when younger and very petite. This resulted in her becoming vain, selfish and unable to clean up after herself. Her house is...

I would like a mother's perspective...
I love to cook. I've been cooking from a very young age and I delight in trying difficult recipes and teaching myself new skills. My knowledge seems to surpass that of other people my age.
My...

Married to a Sri Lankan and his mom is driving me crazy. For our wedding she went out and bought all kinds of decorative centre peices without my consent.. I had to tell her several times that I wanted my own centre peices before she...

OK, mine is clearly not as bad as some of the other ones on here but still i can't stand her and need to vent.......This woman is a fucking moron. She is an attention whoring, ignorant, self absorbed idiot....i would love for there to...

My mother in law is socially inept.  She talks with her mouth full, chews with her mouth open, she's a chronic interupter, and laughs inappropriatly.  My contempt for her is continuing to grow.  I don't know what to do...

My mother in-law is a nut case!! I couldn't even sit here all day to tell you all the things she has done to me. It's endless. The worst things she has done to me and my husband are she kicked us out of her house when I was 2 months...

I have been married to my husband for 19 years. We are a military family, so thankfully we have never had to live anywhere near my MIL. Kudos to those of you who keep it together while living in close proximity to yours.
My mother-in...

Trying to cope with a neurotic MIL who my husband can not even stand. I only listen to his unhappy remarks about mother and try my best not to comment or add to the conversation. She has done some fairly damaging accusations towards me...

Don't even get me started on my mother-in-law! I hope you have a lot of time, go get yourself something to eat, use the restroom, because you'll be here for a while if you plan to read this whole thing.
I've never seen anyone as in...

My MIL is the worst. She's nosey as hell. Unfortunately my husband and I have to live with his parents for the moment for reasons. She comes in our room when ever she wants to. She'll come home from her job and the first thing she'll...

Ok, since my last story (which was a b**** fit) was written out of emotion, I have a new story. Now that I have had a few days since our last encounter with my MIL I can write while making some sense.  Let’s catch up on the...

So, my DH and I are newly married and his delusional mother can't seem to accept that as she is still determined to set him back up with his ex-girlfriend from high school (we are 28 years old)!  She is a certifiable witch and a...

I'm my husband's second wife, and his mother has a great relationship with his ex. We're getting along better these days, but she tends to be very critical and takes little "jabs" whether she's aware of it or not. Once, I let the dishes...

Yeah, the title explains it all with my monster in law...
Control freak... Rude... Annoying...
I feel like I have to 'walk on egg shells' around this woman constantly. If I talk, it's rude to her if I'm quiet, it's rude to her... Ugh...

My mother in law gets on my nerves every single day. She moved in with us last month and since then she does nothing but nag! She is great with my kids but she always has to pit her two cents in about how we raise OUR kids!!! The house...
