coasterqueen replied: I have a MIL and a STEP-MIL, yeah me! NOT! My MIL is major religion happy! No problem with it, but she tries to push her views on me. I only see her maybe one time a year and she mails us religious brochures every month. She really is a very SWEET woman, crazy, but sweet. I actually wish she lived closer. I think we could put the religion thing aside and be great friends.

I voted the "HITLER" for STEP-MIL. I don't see her too much either, 1 x a month, I guess. But she thinks she knows my DH better than I even though I have been in the family way longer than her. She also thinks she can parent better than me. She isn't totally a HITLER I guess, but she is definately not MARY POPPINS.

mummy2girls replied: i guess is hould of voted an in between one..just vote what is closer to ..mean or sweet...

mckayleesmom replied: I love my Mother in Law..She is awsome....But as for my Ex Fiancees mom,,,,,,, ...she is probably a great factor for why I packed up and took off before we got married and had her to deal with for the rest of my life. Ill tell you a story........

Once upon a time there was a girl who had an evil MIL.....The girl and her Df of 4 years lived in a duplex with the MIL living in the bottom half. Later this girl would realize what a horrible mistake she made. Boyfriend turned out to be a closet mamas boy. Anyways one time the girl couldn't find her keys to go to work so she walked to work in the rain cause even though MIL new she couldn't find them, she didn't offer her a ride either,,,even as it rained. Well once the girl got to work about 2 minutes later...MIL comes in to get a gallon of milk. She could have offered the girl a ride but she was a huge #$%^&. Later that day the girls friend Justin came in and since he lived down the street from the girl I asked him to take my spare key I kept in a drawer at work and bring me back my car when he went home. I also asked him to see if I locked my keys inside. Indeed I had. Well knowing that the girls fiancee was really big on responsibility and would lecture her about locking them inside the car,,,the girl just decided to make up a story on where she found them. The girl went home and hid them in her and the df's bedroom and was later going to claim that the dogs must have been playing with them and drug them in the room. They often played with her keys. Meanwhile the whole day df had been telling the girl that she probably dropped them outside somewhere. Well the girl and her df went into the cities to get something to eat and when they arrived back home the girls keys were hanging on the doorknob of their bedroom door. Girl was secretly steamed because she knew that df mom had been in there room, and she would have had to been looking around to find them. Df kept saying she probably found them outside,,,,girl knew that wasn't true. So Df called mom and asked where she found them. Suprise! Suprise!...Guess where she found them ladys and gentlemen? Outside under a tree!!!!!!!! Yes you read that correctly. She completely lied. MIL came home about 10 minutes later and was just so proud of herself for finding the girls keys under a tree. The girls boyfriend kept lecturing her about dropping them and over and over again telling the girl he told her so...Finally the girl told her df to shut the *&^% up, and stormed into the bedroom. Df soon followed and asked the girl what that was all about. Girl proudly asked her df how his mom found her keys oustide if she knew that she hid them in the bedroom so he wouldn't find out she locked them in her car,,,and if he wanted proof to ask her friend Justin. The look on boyfriends face turned a really pale color cause he knew his girlfriend was telling the truth. After that,,,girl tried to get df to move with her several times but he was afraid to leave his mommy alone...The girl however was not...she could care less if she fell off the face of the earth. So the girl told df she was going to move back home. Df told the girl that if she left she was leaving without her stuff. Now girl thought about it and decided to make up with df and stay. See the girl has always worked for everything she had, never had anything handed to her and helped her mom with her younger siblings at 14 by getting a job and helping her mom pay bills. Everything she had was earned by her. So girl decided to be smart about it. Girl waited 2 weeks. When the girls df went to work and his MIL was out of the house for the day, she called her mom and sister to bring a Uhaul and come help her move. The girl moved all her stuff out in 3 hours with the help of her sister and mom. Df never knew what hit him. Df now not a Df, from now on in this story we will call him loser boy. Well loser boy came over and collected his rings for the engagement, and for months called and tried to get the girl back...Girl didn't fall for it. To this day which is 2 and a half years later, Loser boy had never dated another girl,,never kissed another girl and is still living with his mommy. The girl went on to happier times and is now happily married and has a cute daughter and thinks that leaving loser boy was the best decision she ever made in her life. And loser boy still asks the girls friends about her and emails her every now and then for stupid reasons. Moral of the story.....some MIL really suck, and make sure your df or dh isn't a mamas boy.

The End

Hillbilly Housewife replied: rofl!

Sounds like my DH...

No seriously though - he was the WORLD'S BIGGEST MAMA'S BOY when we started dating. He still is now, on certain things, until we clear it up between us. See....he's so used to having his mom wipe his a$$ about everything, that when he first moved in with me, he did NO chores. No dishes, no laubdry, no cooking, no cleaning, no changing of the toilet paper roll, no picking up his clothes, no folding his clothes...not even changing the milk bag.

Now I understand that we're all guilty of the same thing once in a while...it happens....but he NEVER picked up after himself. I left for a whole weekend the first week we were living together (girls only weekend) - and when I came back, there were takeout boxes EVERYWHERE. Dirty plates, bowls, cups etc.. stacked up on the counter... there were clothes everywhere, there was overflowing garbages...GROSS. I can guarantee you that that evening, DH learned a lesson in wiping his OWN a$$. I made him clean EVERYTHING up on his OWN. He hasn't been that bad since - but he still forgets now and then.

One time (we weren't living together yet), I asked him if he wanted to come down to Toronto with me - I had a once a year extended family reunion, and I wanted him to meet some relatives of mine - he said Sure! so I was happy. Then he says: "But I have to ask my mom".

Hello?!?! This guy was 20 at the time!! As if he needed to ask his mom if he could leave for a weekend! Ok, fine, maybe LET HER KNOW, but ASK?!?!? It blew my mind. AND he ABSOLUTELY HAD to call her when we got there. And before we left. And when we got into town. Ugh.

Now - he's MUCH MUCH better about everything. He knows now that eerytime his mom asks him to do something for her (like go to the grocery store) he tells her he's got other things to do. If it's something like go over and help her move something, sometimes he goes, but he has his dad there, so really, what's the point? Anyways. But when she asked him to come over so he could help her decide what colors to paint her kitchen... and he told me he was thinking of going - I told him to only go if he actually felt like picking colors. If he was going just because his mom said "jump", I would be mad. She has other people to talk about colors with.

When she asks me if I want something, I say "I'll have to talk to DH about it before I give you an answer", she'll call DH right away and ask HIM if he wants it. He always answers "I'll have to talk to DW about it before I give you an answer". She's not satisfied with that - so she makes her husband call me or DH to convince us to take whatever they want to get rid of: "Why don't you want this? Isn't it god enough for you?" And we always say" We need to talk to each other before we make a decision. We'll call you back to let you know!!!!"

DH is WAY WAY WAY WAY WAY better about a lot of things. He now knows that if EVER his mom tries to come between us, that she will never be allowed into our home EVER again.

I guess you could say he's a DW's boy now?

amynicole21 replied: Well, I wouldn't exactly call her Mary Poppins, but she is easy enough to deal with.

mummy2girls replied:
let me just say...WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

mckayleesmom replied: He would never let me do his laundry or cook him dinner or anything. One time I cooked a romantic dinner and he said he would rather have what his mom cooked...What a #$%^.....The couple times I did his laundry I hung it up wrong according to the evil wench. She said to me...."pants go on a pants hanger....shirts go on a shirt hanger", I dont know about the rest of you,,,but if it hangs,,it hangs on whatever hanger I put it on. One time his mom went out of town and didn't do his laundry before she left..he had the nerve to ask me to do it..I told him to do it himself..l "but I don't know how to run the washing machine" he says,,,,I say " you better learn real quick if you need your clothes to go to work tomorow, don't you?. Im not good enough to do your laundry remember?".........I get pissed off just thinking about her, him and that relationship. She was also one of those people that talked to you like you were stupid,,,in a sarcastic manner. Does anyone watch Everybody Loves Raymond? You know how his mom does the sarcasm thing to Raymonds wife....That is how she is but so much worse. Except in this case "Everybody doesn't love Jeffery" , especially not me.


Did you guys like my story?.....I got all A's in English...woo hooo.......Maybe I should be a writer.....That was actually reality though. lol

Sorry I didn't vote....Number 1...There isn't a scale bad enough to put her on...and Number 2....I forgot it was a poll and forgot to vote.

mummy2girls replied: it was a good story... my exSO's never did his laundrry. he paid his mom to do his. And it came to a point one time where his mom was out of town for 2 weeks and he didnt want to walk to the laundry room to get his clothes clean so he goes and buys new ones..how lazy is that?

mckayleesmom replied: lol

Also before we broke up I was eating lunch with a cook from where I worked named Stevie out in the waiting room of the hospital we worked at. His grandfather was in the hospital and his mom came to visit him and when she saw me she came over and talked to me for a couple minutes. Well shortly after I broke up with him I started dating a cook named Jim and when his mom found out, she told him that she knew I was cheating on him cause she saw me having lunch with him at the hospital. He wrote me a letter about it and I wrote him a steamy one right back..Plus he told my friend that he gave my engagement ring to his mom,,,,how twisted is that? Then he denied it.....If anyone wants to see that email pm me...I still have it in my sent file. I emailed it to all his and our friends too. It gives me great pleasure in saving it,,I don't know why. Probably cause he tells people how much he is glad we arn't dating and how much more money he has now that Im gone, and that Im going to make my husband miserable....well then why did you want me back?....So that is my proof whenever he opens his big mouth. He emailed me a couple months ago congratulating me and maybe if Im ever in town again we can get together for a drink and talk....Id rather go play with a field of goats then drink with him in my pressence. lol

mummy2girls replied: this poll turned into MIl into mama boys..LOLOLOLOLOL too funny!

mckayleesmom replied: lolol

ediep replied: my MIL is pretty cool. She adores Jason but is very nervous to babysit him.

MomToJade&Jordan replied: Well I had to vote sweety, but she is more in between. She has her good and bad moments. When we visited WV back in June she was more forceful with her suggestions on how I should be raising Jade then my Mom was the month before. We get along all right. She drives DH crazy though.

MommyToAshley replied: I voted sweety. I get along really great with her and have a good relationship with her so I guess I am really lucky. The only thing that bothers me is that she is more of a worry wart than me (so you can imagine how bad she is, LOL) and is over-protective of Ashley. It drives me nuts sometimes, but I konw that it is just because she loves her so much so I am ok with it!

mckayleesmom replied: Wow...this post is sooo old...

Boo&BugsMom replied: My MIL certainly isn't perfect, but neither am I. We have our differences, but we get along really well. She knows I love her 'baby boy' and that is what makes her happy. She has flaws, and I tolerate them, just like I'm sure she tolerates mine.

Boo&BugsMom replied:

I didn't even read the date!

I just answered the post.

mckayleesmom replied: LOL...I love my story...

5 years later, and mine's as much of a pain in the butt now as she was 5 years ago.

Cece00 replied: both of mine are nightmares...dh's mom and stepmom. his stepmom is less of a nightmare and I used to get along GREAT with her....but about a yr ago they started this weight loss stuff that has now turned into almost a cult, and well....I dont care for her so much anymore...she's a different person, and not in a good way. I dont have enough time to write out horror stories of my inlaws.
