I phoned my MIL the other day and said ‘hi it’s me’ and she paused for like 5 seconds and then said ‘sorry, who is this?’ She’s got my number saved and has known me for 7 years

My MIL is a wanker. The other day she was watching the baby for me (I say baby he’s 19 months) but before I gave him to her I was telling her I was planning on taking him for his first haircut at a barbers with his Dad. Fast forward to when I picked him up with his Dad… she started laughing going ‘look, I’ve cut his hair!!!’ I was livid! She didn’t ask me!!! His first haircut!!! I have told her many a times, even that morning that I was waiting for a while to get it done cos he DIDNT need it doing. I went mad, it was the icing on the cake cos she had been winding me up for a while, the day before she told me I was an awful Mum because I give the baby half a banana before bed (I say before bedtime, an hour- half an hour 
) anyway I said to her I weren’t happy and she started LAUGHING saying ‘he’s my Grandson I can cut his hair if I want to’ I said ‘I don’t know what you’re laughing at, I’m not laughing I’m pissed off’ she carried on laughing, saying she done a good job. She didn’t. He’s got a bowl head 
and he had lovely curls at the back that were blonde (my colour) and she had the CHEEK to say ‘I was hoping if I cut the curls off they’d grow back his Dads colour’ his Dads hair is very dark brown but his curls were blonde like me. She chopped his curls off! I said to her, ‘you need to remember he is MY son not yours’ and she replied saying ‘no he is my sons son’ and I said yes but I AM HIS MUM!! I make these choices not you. My fella told me to stop it. And I said ‘you won’t be watching him again’ and I’ve not spoke to her since. She’s messaged me twice saying ‘sorry’ just sorry. Not ‘sorry for cutting his hair’ ‘sorry for not asking’ ‘sorry for laughing’ stupid cow. I’m livid still! Every time I think about it I get all riled up again

Every time I think about it I get all riled up again MIL has just phoned to say she's tested positive for covid today...is it wrong to be secretly jumping up and down for joy at the fact we don't need to go there for Christmas Dinner tomorrow now? 
we have no food in, literally nothing,but I don't care ill eat beans on toast for my dinner 
i can relax all day long and not be annoyed at her all day!

We had a massive thin parcel delivered earlier.. husband on strict orders from mil not to open till tomorrow. We couldn’t work out what it was so we opened it just because why not.
It’s only a massive canvas of her and our son…WITH OUR SON PARTIALLY CROPPED OUT. SO ITS MAINLY HER. it’s bigger than our tv and that’s a 55’’.
I CANNOT PUT THAT ON MY WALLS FFS
I’m honestly in hysterics. This woman.

My MIL had a terrible chip on her shoulder after her husband left her with 3 kids under 5 for a woman who had the same amount of kids and never saw theirs or paid a penny since he walked out -don’t blame her for that -anyway I married her son at 19 years old and always included her in everything- I saw her and did for her more than my own mum because I felt she had been dealt a bad hand……. Fast forward 30 years my darling husband got cancer - I nursed that man and his family - put them before my own and my daughters needs (realise it now) anyway when he died I found that I was in my own - nobody was with us or helped us or even phoned us -when challenged by another family member she said that ‘ he will never be there to answer the phone so I don’t see any reason too’
———17 years later- never heard another word since nor have my two daughters who were 18 and 21 when it happened - piss poor - talking about piss - I washed the piss off of her sons feet when he was not strong enough to lean over the toilet…….. glad I found this - it’s the first time I have let it out

My MIL came over today, she bought 2 bags of sweets, I have 3 children. She said I didn't get a third bag because of middle child's weight problem. I just stood there like 
. Genuinely gobsmacked, completely lost for words. Middle child is bigger than my other children but he certainly hasn't got a "weight problem". He's slightly chunky, but when you see him against other children his age you wouldn't spot him as the fat one. He does rugby, taekwondo and swimming every week, so 3 hours of exercise a week, on top of running around at school all day. Probably more exercise than most children and definitely more than I do. I wish I had said something but I was completely shocked

Ive just remembered this...Not MIL but my own Mother. I went into labour Christmas Eve about 5pm and called her about 6 to come and look after the kids as I needed to go into hospital. She said to me I better not have the baby on Christmas Day and ruin the day as too much time and money had gone into it for it to be ruined!! I remember spending my whole labour clock watching. Luckily we didn't ruin Christmas and she was born just before . We were allowed home at 1am, so we had to set Christmas up for our other children and finally went to bed. She called at 7am and asked me to announce the birth on Facebook so that she could announce it. She then non stopped called asking when we would be round as my brother was going somewhere else for Christmas Dinner and wanted to meet the baby. We rushed round there, for the baby to be taken off of me and then I was left ignored. When it came to Christmas Dinner I didn't eat much and was told off for not doing so. I'd literally birthed a whole human 12 hours ago and had about 3 hours of broken sleep. Looking back now I've said to my husband I should have told her to piss off. If they wanted to meet the baby they should come to us. Fuck knows why we didn't. Must have been in some sort of delirious state.

Have you pretended you aren’t in when she comes knocking in the evenings. Or answer the door in just a robe with a can of whipped cream in hand and say “oh sorry. (Insert husbands name) and I are a bit busy at the moment”

I love this thread.
My ex MIL was very strange. She was only a teenager when she had my ex, and she treated him more like her friend. They always socialised together a lot, and she expected to tag along on nights out with us. Weird. Also, she was obsessed with his sex life. She would ask me how often we did it and whether I liked being spanked
At Christmas she sometimes bought me sexy underwear, she said he would enjoy it.
And when I was pregnant she said he should take some topless photos of me while my boobs were so big. I would tell him this was strange behaviour, he would just say they had always been close!
She also made personal comments about my weight, my cooking, my tea making, my cleaning etc.
I‘m just very glad that she’s out of my life!

Send her another card in the post.... condolences for her loss and write inside "this is the last you'll hear from me you ungrateful cow"
My MIL received a lovely gift from my SIL this Christmas. It was a family love heart with everyone’s names included but mine, which was missing I’ve been with my partner over 5 years (longer than the kids have been around) and we’re due to get married shortly. We’ve never split or had any problems at all and we’ve lived together over 5 years. Proudly displayed in her living room

My first MIL used to snatch my son from me without saying a word to me as soon as we got in the door; In her opinion it was Her Son's Child - not mine - therefore she was entitled to take him from me because I was just the carrier of her illustrious son's baby.
It all came to a head one day when she caught me after a particularly bad time with her effing son and she got it both barrells, two years worth of kow-towing to the old bag just to keep her sweet & he of course was horrified I'd been so beastly to his horrid Mummy; During this rampage of stored-up rage I told her what he'd been up to with ugly barmaids whilst I was at home with what was now a toddler and a new baby at which she had a right go at her little soldier then he started on me because I'd grassed on him to her; Hahaha! I can laugh about it now but at the time my world collapsed on itself but I swore to myself right there and then that I would never allow anybody to wipe their boots on me EVER AGAIN and I kept that promise

Not really my MIL. I just need somewhere to vent before I embarrass myself and cry.
I’ve been with my other half 8 and a half years. We have two children together. Ive never felt part of the family. Silly things like when my partner and I were having problems, they all cut me out. No one spoke to me. Ignored my entire existence.. ignored the children’s existence also. Baring in mind they were 19m and 4 weeks at the time. I felt really hurt, whenever I mention it it’s all blamed on my other half “he told us this.. blah blah” well in my head, you ask someone before jumping to you’re own conclusions.
my partner is somewhat the black sheep of the family, left out etc but we do love 300 miles away & it’s never bothered him or he doesn’t let it affect him as much.
anyway,when we got engaged they didn’t show much interest. I just got told how his sister was supposed to have got engaged but couldn’t now we’d gotten engaged etc. They’d only been together less than a year. We’d been together 5, had two kids but anyway I laughed it off.
Fast forward to today, my MIL is speaking about my partners sisters wedding and it’s dropped into conversation the size of the wedding party.. I ask who is it in, my partners sisters and her fiancées sisters. My children. I am not.
I know I sound really petty but I am really hurt by it. We’ve been together over 8 years: I make a lot effort. Stay in contact. Would include them as my family, as my sisters. Would have them as my bridesmaids etc. And I just feel it’s further confirmation I am not included as part of the family. Just a girlfriend as such and it’s made really quite sad. I am now upstairs crying which is ridiculous I know it is. But I do feel hurt.
Silly things like there is a family recipe that’s been handed down the generations.. the sisters know it. My MIL won’t give it to me, instead stating she will teach it to my daughter. Well if I’m not included as part of the family, she won’t be learning it either. I dunno.
Sorry for ranting here, I just need somewhere to get it off my chest.

My MIL also gave my partner condoms. But she’s fucking insane so it’s to be expected. She also text him saying she has a new friend with benefits and spends her weekends soaking wet. Revolting and a complete lack of inhibition.
My MIL was so against me breastfeeding my twin girls I spent four days in hospital breastfeeding and was fine, I started building up a good supply through pumping and she threw the milk away I had pumped at put in fridge… she the proceeds too give them formula which I bought too top them up if needed
this really hurt me and I gave up with breastfeeding because she hurt me that badly and made me think i wasn’t doing good enough, glad I have my own home and with next baby I will exclusively breastfeed without her interference

This ones split between my MIL & FIL:
My MIL & FIL would never inform us when they intended to visit in the first few years of us being together, so when they turned up most of the time it would catch us off guard and honestly, I was sometimes kinda annoyed because it was normally whilst we was doing stuff (cooking, cleaning, movie nights, etc).
One of the first times this happened, we were in the middle of a spicy night in the livingroom and theres a knock at the door. This was at like 8pm, so we thought it was safe to say we were fine and nobody was going to visit or call at that time of night. Well, that particular night we were wrong.
So my partner rushes to get his boxers and shirt on, rushes to the hallway (still with a
) to open & peak his head around the door to see if its maybe a neighbour who needed something.
Nope, It's his parents come to visit. He's there with a in his boxers hidden behind the door, his parents the opposite side of it waiting to be invited in, and I'm lying on the floor in our livingroom naked with just a blanket covering me waiting for his return! 
The explanation as to why they had to stay outside in the cold for a further several minutes was pretty embarrassing and ended with my FIL proudly telling my partner "It's alright, me and your mom are like rampant teens too".
We've left the spiciness to the bedroom only from then on, just incase!

Surprise, surprise, she's done it again.
Last Christmas was just my husband and myself at home on Christmas day. He went to see MIL that morning (SIL was there too) MIL was going to SIL's for dinner that day. Myself and my husband had a lovely chilled day at home, no pressure, had dinner around 4pm, then afterwards I said to him that I had a few things recorded and did he want to watch anything in particular? He was very shifty about something, so I said "What? Just tell me"
He had agreed to pick MIL up from SIL's that night (because SIL would be pissed out of her skull as usual), but not at an agreed time, it would be whenever suited her and whenever she rang him, so that meant there was no point in settling down to watch a film etc as he'd probably have to leave half way though.
So she rang him shortly before 7pm and he went to collect her (SIL lives about 30 minutes away and MIL is only about 5 minutes from us unfortunately) and shouldn't have been much more than an hour. He came home just before 10pm because surprise, surprise, SIL was indeed pissed out of her skull and started crying and talking complete shit, then when he got out of there and dropped MIL home, she made him come in and kept him there for another hour. By the time he came home, he was fed up and I was pissed off. We had a row and he stormed off to bed. Lovely end to Christmas day eh?
This morning I asked him what SIL and MIL are doing this Christmas? Yes, you've guessed it. MIL is going to SIL's and guess who has to go and collect her and take her back home that night?
I'm so pissed off with MIL and so pissed off with him for agreeing to do it. He has three siblings. I asked him why none of them could do it and he just shrugged and said "I don't know" to which I responded with "I do, it's because they automatically assume that you'll do it and you never say no" I asked him why SIL couldn't go a few hours without having a drink so that she could drive MIL back home and he reply was "Oh you know she likes a glass of wine". I said "No, it's because she's an alcoholic (and has been since I know her) but that's something else that you all pretend doesn't happen.
So maybe I'm a selfish bitch, but for once I'd like Christmas day to go the way I want it too. He'll be seeing SIL and MIL that morning anyway (it's not as if he wouldn't see them) so how bloody hard for him would it be to spend the rest of the day and the evening at home with his wife, so that we could just relax without having to be on full alert waiting for her ladyship to ring and click her fingers

Hello folks. I'm only half way through reading this thread but good grief, what some of you have to put up with is awful! Why are these women like this? My son is 30, just got married, his wife is American & lives in the US. They've been together 5 years, maintained their relationship long distance despite Covid, he's now applying to emigrate.
I love her to bits, I've done my time bringing him up (single parent for much of it) I'm only too happy to let her have him now & she can take over! Go off and be happy you two, it's your life now. She tells me all the time she's so glad I'm her MIL, I'm happy she feels like that, off you go son to your future
if they have kids, they know it's too far for me to be on their doorstep every 5 minutes, I'm completely fine knowing (sad as it is) that any little ones will mostly know Nanny from WhatsApp calls or what have you. I respect his choice of lady & that's that.
