:hey!: True Story! -
My mother-in-law has been the main problem in my marriage since the day we said "I Do". I'd love nothing more than to have her, or my husband, say they never wanted anything to do with one another again. And yes they can break up a marriage. We came really close a couple of times.
But my husband's blind to his mother, for what reason I can't figure out. She gave him away at 12 years old because the man she was living with at the time didn't want him around. His grandmother took him in to keep him out of a children's home. About the same time she told him the man he thought was his father really wasn't and that his real father abandoned him (Big Lie).
She's jealous because we are closer to his real father and his grandmother than we are to her. When she realized that I had found out about all the lies she told my husband when he was young and that I not only told him the truth but worked to build a relationship between him and his father, we haven't gotten along since. That and I won't let her have her way with or tell me how to raise my kids.
The rake is not nearly what she deserves.

Wow, where you getting your questions, Kool Breeze. Your poll questions crack me up! As for me; I lucked out and have the sweetest inlaws a girl could ask for. They are very elderly; and I think that might be part of it, since I really have always gotten along with that age group very well. I'm not real close with my hubby's sisters; but neither is he, but we are friendly to each other. That's all to do with all his sisters being two generations older than us.Comment

My sister in law has been wonderful to me. We were not really "friendly" before I married her brother but since we have become good friends. She is great to my boys and comes up often (From TX) just to see them and to babysit for us.
During my 3rd pregnancy she treated me to a relaxing spa get away in Albq. which just happen to coincide with Gatherings. Airfare, hotel and spa treatment, the whole bit!!!
My soon to be sister in law has asked me to be her matron of honor in their wedding. So I really like my inlaws.@}-->-->--BuckskinRose--<--<--{@Comment

Firstly: KB, honey, I'm startin' to worry about that 'pat' you were goin' to give me; what with all this talk of kiddie discipline, mothers in law...I think you've gone and done broke my heart......Originally posted by MsLum91
Okay. My personal response is that I'd probably choose Pops over the *****, too. And I'd probably make sure my husband wasn't misinformed. I'm being polite. And, yes, I've had two mothers-in-law. First cried during the whole wedding--the cow; the second loved me like a daughter and luckily passed away before her son and I divorced. I miss my father-in-law something fierce because of the split. Anyway...
Professional hat on. Wives make a big mistake when they enter a relationship with a man and take sides against his parents. Whether it is justified or not. They are HIS parents, they are a package deal that you got when you CHOSE to marry him/her and it is doubtful he was really blind to how coniving and evil his mother was--afterall, he's had her in his life longer than you. Of course, she's jealous--even though it is unreasonable because she was such a poor mother. Of course, she's upset that you spilled your guts to her son--what you did was 'take sides' and that was your choice; a poor one, but your choice. She may be the worst mother in the world, but she remains his mother. The relationship between he and his mother is HIS business to make or break as he sees fit. Your role is to be supportive of him, not make it more difficult for him to maintain a relationship with her if this is what he chooses to do. Sometimes we just have to bite our tongues. On the other hand, your kids are YOUR business and from the sound of all the bull**** going back and forth they don't need to be in her presence; but I also hope that you restrain yourself and not express your obvious dislike of grandma to her grandkids. They are children and don't need to be put in the middle of this mess. Okay... I'm leaving the office...Damme ape’semmai, "Andabichidaiboonee’ gimmadu’i.Wihyu memme hainjinee’ nahandu’i.

My boyfriend's mother can't stand his ex-wife and she loves me...I figure it's partly because I am not the ex-wife!
But seriously, it can really screw things up when there is jealousy or hatred from a close in-law because family ties are usually (not always) stronger than anything and they can affect how a couple lives because of the stress a bad family relationship can cause.
Aren't most men really close to their mothers?
I dunno....I have always heard that......believe in yourselfComment

I get along with mine.. we talk..and talk and talk.... and as for his aunts and uncles and cousins.. i get along great with all of them, i think of them as my own cousins and uncles and aunts...his grandparents are very very kind to me.. i know they are glad i am part of his life because they are tradtional and each chance they see us, they always thank me for taking care of their grandson and their grandkids!! :D...
same goes with my family, they've welcomed my hubby with open arms since day one, my mom calls him her son.. and talks to him that way as well as my uncles and aunts. My gramma to treats him in the same manner and they also thank him for taking care of me and our kids :).... soooo there is no beef with the inlaws here LOLComment

You are probably right..I remember my ex-husband hated his Mom and treated me really bad and I felt sometimes as if he was punishing me to get back at her.Originally posted by Washakie Witchbelieve in yourselfComment

My sister introduced me to this guy she was talking to. We went to his house to hang out, right.

My 3 year old granddaughter has been having growing pains lately. At least I think that's what it is. She wakes up in the middle of the night and whimpers.

It's been so hard to be online. . .to do much of anything. I was very close to my father, and while no death is expected or usually wanted, his was quick. He was only 56. He had a cough that would not go away, but no other symptoms, so he put off going to the doctor. But it started not letting him...01-26-2005, 12:04 AM -
How many of you have problems or know of problems with boys respecting their moms? I have a just turned three year old son who just pushes her and pushes her. It drives her crazy. Even though we are divorced I respect his mother and treat her that way. It just freaks me out having a son who may grow...08-26-2004, 11:09 AM
