ugh i bleeping hate this toxic thinking that creates monster in laws. your kid owes you NOTHING, you chose to bring them into the world. how dare you make demands and get in the way of their happiness when it comes to them choosing a life partner. the way some mothers start demonizing a non existent spouse in law when their kid can barely crawl is so disgusting.View attachment 1476793
This popped up as a suggested post in my Instagram feed for some reason and I genuinely thought it was something Mel posted

can you tell i feel so strongly about this because of personal experience with a monster in law duck this stupid backward way of thinking. i'm lucky that my husband had the brains and logical sense to cut his own mother off when she started feeling threatened by my presence and tried to pull a bunch of stunts. he called her a psychopath before i had the chance to do so.
as a future mom to a boy (i will NOT be calling myself a boy mom), i absolutely can't stand the weird emotional incest moms have with their sons, acting like their son is a surrogate husband.
