I know many of us have problems with MIL. But let me share with you an ultimate one. These have been going on for more than 10 yrs. Only now I have the strength to share this without shedding a single tear .....
MIL cried the first time my DH brought me home. I was sent upstairs to sleep and there they were FIL and MIL crying to beg my then BF to dump me. Reasons?
1) I have changed him - he is not offered Honours candidature in U bcoz I disrupted his attention.
2) I am not good looking enuf for their son
Fast forward the story, DH insisted to stay on with me, we ROM the very same yr I graduated. Worked like crazy, got ourselves a small flat. On our wedding day, MIL sabotaged by not engaging a makeup person for me despite insisting on doing so. If not for DH and my family, I would have called off the damn thing!
For 7 yrs, I had been putting up with their cold treatments and yet hiding this from my family. I din wan my family to worry about me.
We had fertility problem but was very lucky to be successful first trial after IVF. No congrats from them but I am perfectly ok with tat.
Then I experienced pregnancy complications during my 5th month of pregnancy. Bedridden in hospital for about 3 mths without assurance of baby survival - DH called and informed her. Her reply? Dun force it lah, if the baby is not yours, there's nothing you can do.
Thereafter, not a single call from her or family for the entire 3 mths stay. Even a casual fren wld have send their regards right? My mom had to take 6 hrs train ride to S'pore thru and fro twice a week to take care of me...
I was so pissed that I vowed my child will not own greet them as grandparents! Even DH dared not say anything.
When the child was born, he was in ICU for 2 mths. MIL and FIL came down from M'sia to visit. FIL wanted to offer financial help but was stopped by MIL. I hd to admit, I din welcome their visit. I dun wan to be hypocrite, I am human, I was not happy with the way they treat me or the baby!
How can anyone with such low EQ existed? My son was in ICU... Every moment is a survival battle for him. He is so small and fragile. His life is so fragile! Everyday DH and I are praying for good news of his progress. And what came out of my MIL mouth was how scary my child looked!!! All these garbage from someone who shares the same status as me - A MOTHER!!!!
She dotes to her two younger sons. Sort of like gave up on hubby liao. But hubby and I decided let them be. I dun need their love, I dun need their acceptance, I dun need their financial support.
All my focus is to be a good wife and mom to my DH and child. I am such a happier person now after I changed my focus. Instead of being unhappy by being angry with them, y not show them how happy my life can be. It is their lost for not being included in the happy picture due to their doings.
Now, I treat them like cordial frens. Once in a while we will visit them, treat them dinners etc. Of course, my son will great them. But they are never close to their only grandchild. Not having the chance to be part of his growing up process. They can only envy the bonding my child has with my family. They can claim no credit of my child's upbringing - all being the result of their doings. |

oh man... sounds really bad..  similar experiences. My MIL is scary too. She is someone with 2-faces, she dont genuninely care for me but in front of ppl she will act until very nice to me and dotes on me. This kind of pattern even harder to deal with coz im not someone who will fake myself.
Really hate her! |

Haahahah.... me, tired of putting up with her strategies etc. Nowadays, just put on a mask and smiles. Talk less, just smile like an idiot. If can turn a deaf ear too. Just agree with whatever she says eventhough you are boiling inside... one day she'll find it boring to spar wif you.. hahahhah |

MIL Problems...
When my hubby called my MIL and told her that I have delivered... she still has the cheek to say "CONFIRM IS A BOY?"... I was so angry that I told my hubby to take a pic of my son penis to show her.
After this incident, I really pissed off with my MIL. |

Mine is both MIL and FIL tag team ok?!
When i was in long labour, FIL can tell hb,
"What r u doing there...no point what...go home and rest first."
F*** head or not?
WHen i was blleding in 1st trimester, rushed to hospital from work, hb couldnt rush, asked his stupid mum t go with me, she said she dont know how to go. Good right?
And she's such a great actress ok, in front of hb, MIL and FIL talk to me nicely, when hes not ard, they ignore me.
But must say, my HB is really lousy. He backs them up no matter how wrong they are. Dont know what poison they fed him la. Everything they do is good.
Now they always trying to take my child form me. Always tell hb to bring baby to their house. I know their intention is for us to break up and then if joint custody, they can see her, wihtout me there.
Sorry to say this but MIL is a staunch christian. Goes to church every Sunday...such a shame...praying for sins to be washed off on sunday then rest of the week create drama... |

What's more important is that your hubby is still in love with u. The best 'revenge' u can ever belt out is this - your hubby will always stand by u (albeit quietly). |

Lost of direction in life recently. Pissed of everything especially my PIL.DH is youngest in the family, He has elder sis and bro. Typical Chinese family, favors elder son more. Recently he just got married (wife is a bitch) while my DH is married with 2 kids already. Our wedding was 7th yrs ago. I commented to my DH that our wedding tradition practices 7 yrs ago and now are so different, mil is so excited, big feast for prayer etc….. I said cos he is the elder son or (more favour son), my DH say I should not compare as our wedding is 7 yrs ago. Shortly after wedding, is bil’s bdae. As mentioned earlier, they are super tradition family where don even buy any cakes for birthday (at least not for my DH, DS, DD or me!!) but my bil got a cake from them!! Asked why he has a cake , reason given is becos is his first bdae after wedding, parents should celebrate for the child. Bullsh*t. Why my DH never got any cake tat yr we got married? Ok, never mind. After dinner, BIL and wife sitting at the sofa, shaking legs. We hire a maid for mil as she is helping to take care of our kids. Maid is in the kitchen and the moment we step in mil’s home, she instructed us to ‘prepare’ the cake for cake cutting. Damn her. Bil’s wife is shaking legs, I got a maid for her… why us?? Why expect me and my hubby to serve her son???? BIL is those typically type, b4 wedding, mil will fill up water bottle for him like primary schools kids. Feel that she is bootlicking the BIL’s wife cos her dad is a ‘businessman’ (sadly when dad is businessman, mum is in coffee shop making kopi). Feel like putting my kids to childcare and cut down my visit to her place. Now, we are going there everyday for dinner and to pick up the kids. |
