It hasn't been easy, I was annoyed for a while at how it wasn't addressed. If it was my mum then I would've had to have confronted her, but he never did. Over time I grew to understand that he knew it wouldn't have changed anything.That’s disgusting! And from a grown woman too. Sounds like you’re well shot of her. Glad your husband stood up for you, many wouldn’t have the balls (I’m a mum of two boys, I’d never treat someone they loved that way).
The exact same thing is happening to me right now! 7 month old with a dairy allergy, MIL wants to give him bread and butter, cake etc. She always says ‘one tiny bit won’t hurt!’ I actually dread her visits.I’m generally quite lucky but my MIL has developed a habit recently that I’m finding annoying...my little boy is 7 months old and has just started weaning. He has a dairy allergy so I’m careful with what I feed him and as he’s only 7 months I don’t feel he needs cake, biscuits etc. (People can feed their own children whatever they like, it’s just not something I do!) She just keeps going to give him cookies, cake, chocolate brownies without asking. Then when I say no she looks at me like I’m mad. I have to keep having the same conversation about how he might be allergic to it and that even if he isn’t I don’t want him to eat it!
My in-laws bought my little boy an advent calendar ONE WEEK into weaning, then called me a mean mummy for not letting him eat itI’m generally quite lucky but my MIL has developed a habit recently that I’m finding annoying...my little boy is 7 months old and has just started weaning.

I have a child with a food allergy and this type of mentality drives me nuts!! (Pun not intentional!). My MIL does all manner of irritating things but fortunately trying to poison my child isn’t one of them.The exact same thing is happening to me right now! 7 month old with a dairy allergy, MIL wants to give him bread and butter, cake etc. She always says ‘one tiny bit won’t hurt!’ I actually dread her visits.
This made me laugh out loud. Mine has a reputation for being frightening but I’m used to it now, she’s barking and I can’t change that. The first time I met her (at my now husbands house) she asked me what I was doing there! Wasn’t sure how to answer that...I'd love to join in but honestly I find MIL SO scary I'd be afraid she'd see the post track me down and injure me in my sleep.
this reminds me of the pestle and mortar scene in monster in law with Jane Fonda - her and her assistant crushing peanuts into the gravy because JLos character cant eat nuts ! not sure if your SIL is a total psycho but maybe carry a epi pen with you at all timesMy sister in law (well, brother-in-laws soon to be wife) is an absolute nightmare. The most frustrating example... she always HAS to do the cooking, recently turned up to a family event I was hosting with a huge amount of food I’d expressly asked her not to bring. Because I have a nut allergy and she refuses to cook in anything but peanut oilthe most recent thing she cooked for us? Pesto pasta. I had bread and butter for dinner. The worst bit is she always gets offended, I’ve told her at least 30 times over the last 7 years that I can’t have nuts. My mother in law always says I’m just being “miserable”.
Phew, that was a rant to get off my chest
That is horrific, I am sorry both of those things happened to you.My mil planted men's clothes in my bedroom and while I was working a night shift my husband found the hoody and accused me of cheating,
Ironically this was 2 months after I found out he had been cheating.
And no, I didn't cheat
Sounds like my MIL. I came back from the loo once and my 3 year old son was playing with a real screwdriver she had given himAww I'm not alone! My MIL is a loonatic. She's done numerous things which, in my opinion compromises my kids safety, treats my young children like they are teenagers and she has done stuff i am angry at her with but the absolute worst thing she has done so far is to allow my 7 year old to have a sip of wine!
She didn't even apologize and her reason was that "she didn't want to alienate her from it and make it forbidden" or some shite like that, my child is 7!
I could understand if she was a teenager or something.
I very rarely allow her to have the children on her own because if she's like the way she is in front of us then imagine what goes on when we aren't there.
And she said many years ago to one of my family members "what they don't know won't hurt them"..!
I really do wonder how my OH survived infancy sometimes.
Nooo, why do they do these things!Sounds like my MIL. I came back from the loo once and my 3 year old son was playing with a real screwdriver she had given him
She couldnt see the problem. That worries me so muchNooo, why do they do these things!Its just dangerous and stupid. They are the types to say, well we did it when we were young and we still lived to tell the tale!
I bet! I would be worried too (and am about mine!). Just always be around when she is for your own piece of mind, that's all you can do if shes not understanding.She couldnt see the problem. That worries me so much
I couldn't leave my son alone with her. Theres other things she has done (or neglected to do) but that's one of the most recentI bet! I would be worried too (and am about mine!). Just always be around when she is for your own piece of mind, that's all you can do if shes not understanding.
Ahhh she's a complete nut job, thank god I'm not like her. But how wicked! XThat is horrific, I am sorry both of those things happened to you.
