[ReedsMama06]

Soooo glad I don't really have one anymore! I do but she only calls SO like twice a year! NOt on bad terms, she just has other things in her life to worry about. I think I would like her if I met her ONLY because I might see her MAYBE once a year from now on. NOt a bad deal after my last MIL. Sorry you have to deal with yours!!! no fun!

[nyc_mama]

Yes, do so and then tell us the deets! LOL! I am usually good at biting my tongue. But one day it will all come out!

[lindz_fay]

Oh boy. Let us know how it goes if you do lol. I am so thankful I have a good MIL. I wish everyone could.

[mommyjaz]

hehehehe I'm with the others! Do it! and then give us the goods lol

[MissMac]

I used to have a great MIL and a crap husband lol. Now I have an awesome husband and a psycho MIL ... I just can't win!

Okay...lemme just say before I continue "I am NOT a complete WITCH with a B!"

But I am a huge believer that you need to stand up for yourself, especially in the case of a MIL (and marriage). I believe that speaking your mind will make people respect you and will be less likely to "assume" they can say things to you that are rude or hurtful. As long as you are respectful about the way you say it, you absolutely can ream her out AND possibly improve the relationship.

I have personal experience with this situation because my MIL is very overbearing and can be downright psycho at times. DH and I got married right around the same time DH's only brother and his wife got married. So we were sorta "on par" with one another. As you might be able to tell, I am not a people-pleaser and have no issue speaking my mind. The brother's wife is an a$$kisser! She has been up my MIL's butt about everything, right in her corner since day one. Just the "perfect daughter-in-law." Me, I had it out with MIL over her pettiness, her demanding nature, and the fact that she tries to control her sons with guilt. Me and MIL get along FAMOUSLY now. She asks my opinion, is polite, and respects our space. She can not stand the brother's wife, as she can never get a true statement out of her, she is so into sucking up. She actually told me that the girl is "getting on her nerves."

Goes to show that it might do a little good to let your feelings be known, with the blessing of your DH of course! But if it is something that is somewhat "big" or that might come up again, you can totally have it out with her and let her know how you stand. And if that is not normal behavior for you...blame it on the hormones

Oh, I wanna know details too

go for it! I am feeling like I'm going to go off the deep end at any moment!

I've been close to snapping on mine all week.

[blessedmom080911]

I warned DH it was coming. Funny thing she knows what's she's doing but acts stupid about it. I'm usually quiet so it would DEFINITELY get her attention. She knows because we have talked to her nicely about the same issue over and over again. Next time we "discuss" it, it's not gonna be as nice. Haven't heard from her all week, we have DSD this weekend and I bet she will blow DH's phone up. And I promise you..it's gonna go down then! Just saying. I'll keep you gals updated.

Its sort of the same. Except the DH ex wife sucks up and DESPITE the fact that she cheated on her son their whole marriage and hurt him horribly, my MIL stays up her butt and is probably closer to her than me. She does it for DSD or so she says but she doesn't wanna be close to the mother of her other grandkids AND wife to her son?!? Yeah, doesn't make sense to me either!
