What’s your mother-in-law (MIL) like? Amazing? Welp, these people can’t relate. They are exposing their terrible MILs. Content has been edited for clarity purposes.
Holidays Gone Wrong
“So, my MIL spent 10 days with us for Thanksgiving. She is broke because she quit her job of 20 years. She has no savings. We pay for her car insurance, send gift cards for groceries, and send money. That doesn’t bother me so much. She is also a big drinker who is very lazy. When she was here for Thanksgiving, she was so miserable and drinking an insane amount of drinks, and my husband was engaging her in the drinking. I was not ok with it.
I left to my parents (they live in town) and said enough is enough no more drinks. I had a long conversation with my husband after his mom left and told him this amount of drinking is not ok. We never spend time together and since she is alone and sad all the time my husband feels extreme guilt about making her happy. I told him this is tearing our marriage apart. He agreed. He told her that he and I will be spending Christmas alone. She hung up the phone and texted him these messages.”
“Side note: we paid for her flight here for Thanksgiving and all that. And basically, she was entitled to another two-week stay for Christmas and New Years
She may not be bipolar, but drinking played a role. And she might have her own mood disorder. I think she has a borderline personality.”

“My Girlfriend’s Mother Is Obsessed With Me”
“So, I have been with my girlfriend for two years now. Around one year and a half ago, she introduced me to her mother. I went to her house and tried my best to give a good introduction. Talked to her a lot, and acted friendly. I wanted to make a good first impression.
However, my girlfriend gave her my number for something, and since then, she has been messaging me every 2-3 days, wanting to talk to me. She sends lots of x’s, and sometimes love hearts. I told my girlfriend I was uncomfortable with it but she said it is her mum just being friendly and I should have a conversation back. She genuinely thought this at the time, that everything was okay and normal.
Okay, this is where it gets messed up.”
“Her mum said to me, ‘I want to tell you something although I don’t think you’ll like it maybe.’
She wouldn’t tell me at first, but while my girlfriend was with me reading the chat, she eventually admitted she was in love with me and wanted to know if I felt the same. My girlfriend felt physically sick at this point and I felt beyond uncomfortable.
I told her I loved her daughter and it could never happen, and she flipped out on me. She said she hated me, I was a jagoff, and everything. She didn’t think her daughter had a clue about the situation.”
“Later that night, her daughter came home, and her mother told her, ‘I spoke to your boyfriend earlier. I can’t say what about it, I just want to say that he is creepy as heck. You shouldn’t go near him, he seems to be like those predators you find on tv.’
My girlfriend and I lost our marbles, but she couldn’t admit it to her mother she knew that she loved me because literally, her mum would throw her out into the streets.
Anyway, ever since then up until this point. Her mum buys me gifts and money every week. I tell her I do not want it, but if I say no, she blames my girlfriend for me not taking it and goes crazy at her. If I say anything she doesn’t like, she takes it out on my girlfriend.
She will not take no for an answer. If I tell her no, she makes her daughter choose between me, or her because if she can’t have me, her daughter can’t either. She wants me and my girlfriend to break up and for her to be my new girlfriend. My girlfriend checked her mum’s search history and found
‘How to steal boy from girl’
‘How to make him love you’
‘How to turn a guy on’
I don’t know what else I could do for her to get the hint that I don’t want her.”
First Baby Part 1
“This is my first baby, and so far we have only told a few people (close family). We obviously included my MIL in that. My partner has kids from a previous relationship and we wanted to do a gender reveal for them. We sent a video of it to MIL because she asked to see it.
She posted it on Facebook. Announcing that not only am I pregnant but the gender. I guess she’d had a few drinks. The worst part of it all, once she sobered up nothing changed. This is the conversation. Am I really overreacting?”
First Baby Part 2
Who’s Really The Immature One Here?
“Self-absorbed MIL is butt-hurt about our first baby’s name. The pics are from my husband’s phone.”
“Insane ex-MIL believes her cheating son is the Golden Child and I ruined his life kicking him out.”
