OMG My ex-MIL had a twin, well actually she did but it was a he. And he was a sweetheart just her exact opposite, always there to take my side at family gatherings which is where she especially loved to act up. I still miss him.
She was always trying to get me in trouble with ex hubby and he had a nasty temper. One time we were spending the weekend and ex came in from fishing with his dad and she told ex that our DD who was 2 at the time had told her that I had hit her in the mouth. Actualy what I had done was to place my hand over her mouth to keep her quiet because ex MIL was trying to sleep and she was yelling at me to shut the kid up.
So of course she convinced her baby boy that little angelic 2-year old don't make stuff up. So I paid heck for that. Then the next night while at the supper table DD dumped her spaghetti in her lap, and ex MIL took her to the bathroom to clean her up. When they sat back down at the table my little angelic 2 year old looked staight at my ex and told him that her Nanny (my ex MIL) had hit her in the mouth.
You could have heard a pin drop and I spit food all over the place. LOL I have a million of them!!!! She also called me right after I divorced her son and told me she had put a hex on me. LOL

She was a winner!!!!!!!!!

My first MIL was a jerk (still is actually, she never even tries to contact my kids except to send them a shitty Christmas present, usually something she found at a yard sale). My new one is 100 times worse, but thankfully my husband doesn't have anything to do with her. Unfortunately she keeps trying to get his attention, and she'll send him these emails with the weirdest advice that makes him sound like some kind of abused spouse. His dad (they're divorced obviously) says she's jealous of me because I took her baby away and to ignore it, but she really pisses me off. I also happen to think she's just plain jealous that we're happy, and she's in her 50s and still hasn't found the right guy.

I'm only tolerant of my mil. Upon meeting for the first time (1 year after marriage) she asked me plain as day...."Why didn't your parents cut your legs off when you were born since they didn't work/look right in the first place".

Needless to say being physically challenged (wheelchair) I was used to questions but not comments like that. Aggie and I had driven for 2 days from Texas to Michigan so he could see his dad....this is Aggie's stepmother.

I haven't seen the woman since that day. When she calls I without hesitation hand the phone to Aggie. I won't talk to her unless I really have to.''

How horrible!!!! WTF is wrong with people that they think its acceptable to say something like that?

my mil passed a few years back. At first I was terrified of her, she was everything that I was not used to. loud, flashy, bossy, no one get mad, but she was your typical italian lady. Then something happened and she made me mad, very mad, so mad that I yelled at her and was not going to let her boss me around any more. From that moment on, we loved each other very much. I miss her, some of you may remember, but I moved out of state and the day we were half way from MA to OH, we got a call that she has cancer, it was so hard, what to do continue the move or come back, we continued. We were there when she died, however she did not know who I was, she knew her son, but I was a stranger to her, that hurt, but I am ok with it. Anyway not to hijack your post,

My MIL was what I thought was nice to me at first. She invited me to stay with her and her husband until hubby got out of the military. hubby didn't want me traveling while 8 months pregnant. Once I got there she was the wicked witch also. She hated my duaghter and complained about her at every time she could. I was so stressed that I was put on bed rest and she had the nerve to tell me that I didn't want my child and that my husband deserved to be have that child. Ok fast forward like 2 years. I was talking about moving and it disturbed my SIL sooo much (hubby was her kids pretend father and we did a lot to include them as she SAT on her but and collected welfare for their ENTIRE childhood) that her and my MIL went to social services and made up a VERY bad tale (first saying my 5 year old was a preditor then saying stuff about me when it didn't go their way) and tried to break us up. Was told that if they ever do this again they could get in trouble for false reporting. They have sense appologized (to hubby and to him only) and admitted they did it just to break us up ie me going to prison for a very long time. It has been many years and I still am repulsed by their cheap, trashy, and selfish actions. I have sense not gotten to personal with anyone fearing I could again get hurt again.

Okay my in laws live right next door And we live in a very rural town. it has like 10 houses. and we are basically secluded back here with our 2 houses with alot of land. but luckily we get along quite well. We have our moments. but she treats me like one of her own.
