I say left, she says right. Front? Back. Round? Square.

Original post by Shorty McBride

Frankly, I'm sick of my FMIL.

I've been with FH for 7 years. She's never been the most pleasant person in the world, but MAN - she's getting worse and worse as this wedding gets closer.

This weekend, FILs showed up for my grad party...they said hello to my family, got food -then sat in a separate room, ate, and left. When a member of my family asked FMIL how she was doing, she snapped back, 'NOT GOOD', and that's it....

So my family member is being cordial and starts making conversation with the FILs...she said (to them), 'You must be getting excited - the wedding is getting closer and closer everyday! 6 months now, right?'
FMIL snapped back with 'THAT'S NOT CLOSE. 6 MONTHS IS A LONG TIME, ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN.'

Come on now...who does this?!

Last week, she put down my invitations - called them boring and ugly.

She is constantly throwing out digs about how I'm limiting her guestlist. Excuse me, all of the family is invited, but I am NOT inviting your former co-worker, simply because you gave their son a wedding gift 8 years ago. She has more guests than my parents, and US - and guess who's paying?!?! NOT HER, that's for sure!

She pries info out of FH by snooping around his things, and then talks to people all over town about it. I get myspace comments from the children of her former co-workers (yes - NOT INVITED!) referencing PRIVATE DETAILS of my plans!

She keeps telling people that I had to pick a WEIRD date and ruin Thanksgiving for her....and that her entire extended family is mad at me because I ruined Thanksgiving. (Our wedding is the night after Thanksgiving.)

Last month, she said that they (FMIL and FFIL) were going to Atlantic City for Father's Day. A friend of ours is getting a few rooms in Montauk that weekend, so we told him we'd go. SUNDAY, at my graduation party, FH is talking about Montauk, and his mother blurts out - you better be home, son - it's Father's Day. FH said, 'But you said you weren't going to be around, so we made other plans.' She comes back with, 'You best be changing your plans, sonny boy, [WTFFFF- WHO SAYS THAT] or you'll just have to live with the guilt. We can never know which Father's Day will be the last.'

HOLY MOTHER OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST - pray for me.



I am not one to be bothered by what others say...but I just keep wearing down and wearing down....and its starting to really get to me!

what a monster-in-law. I would just not speak to her. And tell FH any communication with her must now be done through him. You don't need the stress. f--k her

I feel your pain........It seems like you are telling my story too......I just really stay as far way as possible at all times. It's hard to deal with but I have come to realize that nothing I do is going to please her not matter how hard I try........so I know it sounds horrible but really........why even try!!!!

I am sorry for what you are going though but know that you are not alone by any means.....

What a nasty FMIL you have there. I feel for ya girl - it s*cks when people, esp FH's Family, can't be happy for you at this awesome time in your life; it's only cause they are miserable - Don't let her get you down. So sorry that you are dealing with this!

She is a miserable woman and that is that. What does FH say about this? It's hard to ignore wha people say about wedding details since they are so important but it seems to me she just wants to be down right mean so try not to let her rain on your parade. Someone needs to have a long chat with her and put her in her place!!

Oh my God, what a horrible woman.

You have to be strong and make sure FH is strong against her as well. If she brings up about putting extra guests on the list tell her that the money that you, FH and your parents have allocated for the receiption has reached its limit. Neither of you can afford to put in more money for more guests, that is unless she wants to give you money. If she says yeah sure make sure you have the money in hand prior to sending out extra invitations.

And with regards to ruining Thanksgiving, how are you doing that???? Its the day after. Don't pay attention to her she's probably pissed that someone has won her baby boy's heart.

I totally feel your pain!!!!! FMILs can be horrible! But at the end of the day, it's your wedding and if they are not helping you pay for it then they don't have a right to give you a big guest list! She sounds like she's the type of person that you can't even talk to, so I don't know what advise to give you about that! All I can say is once you are married you have every right to open your mouth to her... you will be starting your own family and she needs to mind her own!

My advice...


Get a bowl, fill it with water, let it sit outside for 1 day, say a prayer over the bowl, and then you see her next throw the water on her......If she screams then you know she's the devil

Just ignore her, this is your wedding and her son is going to marry you. She will have to atleast ack it sometime. I'm sorry

yikes!!! Sounds like she was spawn from the same seed as my friend's MIL...a woman who walked her daughter down the aisle wearing pants....socks with sandals & a shirt...after not letting her Ex walk the bride down the aisle...oh and the whole time wearing this sour puss...i swear i wanted to beat her!!! Beatings can be arranged!!! good luck...try and focus on how much you love FH and stay positive!!!

I can't believe her. She is pure evil and insanity.

I don't think you can chang her. The only thing you cvan do is to try not to let it get to you. If she wants to sh*t on everything, why include her? DOn't tell her about anything you pick our or plan, and tell your sister and mom to do the same.

I'm so sorry. I feel you. I have the evvvvil in-laws too
