I’ll be the first to admit that I wasn’t exactly fond of my mother in law when I met her. For some reason she couldn’t accept that her son was not alittle boy anymore or that I chose to feed him spaghetti and salad instead of three different fried dishes in one sitting. Her indirect way of implying that I needed to loose weight by casually setting twelve packs of Slimfast in my fridge quickly sent me over the edge. Luckily we’re on better terms now but needless to say we took a long rocky road to get there.
All the above being said , you can imagine my interest when I was sent a screener of A&E’s new series called Monster In-Laws. This show takes not getting along with your in-laws to a whole new level with some help along the way to try to remedy the situation.

My In-laws NEVER coome to any of our gatherings. But they expect us to drop everything when they call us 1-2 days ahead to come to theirs. CRAZY!
I will be watching that for sure!!! MIL has never liked me and it’s gotten worse since my husband joined the Army, because now… not only did I marry him and take him away, I did not stop him from joining. Ugh.
My mother in law didnt want me to take her”little boy” away either. So she came to my house and attacked me with a stun gun and tried to kidnap my daughter. She tazed me 27 times and finally was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon. and we moved out of the state 3 days later.
my father in law calls 3-4 times a day to talk to my husband, if my husband doesn’t answer the phone dad will repeatidly call until we answer. My father in law does not belive that my son is my husbands even though my son is a tiny replica of my husband. He has opened credit cards in my husbands name. And he just doesn’t like me at all for taking “his” son away from him.
My mother in law decided that it was necessary to throw a fit because my husband didn’t want her at the airport when he was coming home for RNR because he wanted it to be just me and our son. She decided it was my fault and sent me horrible messages on Facebook, posts on my wall and calling in the middle of the night drunk – thanks mom!!
OMG! That is almost exactly what my MIL on R&R. We are no longer speaking and no longer “friends” on Facebook. She called me the nastiest names. Did yours say “I dont believe this was HIS decision?” Mine did. haha.
On my wedding day my mother in law said her gift to us would be the food for the reception. My family flew in everybody was there and we get to the reception and my mother in law pulls my husband aside and asks him for money AND then asks him if he can just go to the store to buy the food for her to cook because she didn’t have time or money to get it! We all sat around for over 3 hours miserable hungry and mad!
My mother-in-law was sorely mistaken when she thought she could guilt trip me. It was the first time I had met them, 2 1/2 years after my husband and I got married. He had flown home to Alaska on emergency leave, and our son and I had flown into Alaska to see him and meet his parents and wacko sister. Well, the one Sunday we were there, she asked my husband if we were going to go to church. He told her he would, but that Alec and I would not (I am not religious, and was not going to attend church to make her happy). Well, later on, my husband decided to stay home with us and not go to church. As soon as the in-laws got home, she started in with her ‘guilt trip.’ Oh you missed a good sermon (uh-huh, doubt that), SO many people were disappointed they didn’t get to meet you (uh-huh, doubt that….and besides, I would have met them and never saw them again….no heartbreak there), and on and on. So ever since then, every once in a while, she sends me her ‘Jesus packet o’ crap’ in the mail. My husband has told her numerous times to stop, that it goes straight in the recycle bin, but alas, she has yet to let up……
Where do I start?!? While it’s hard to narrow it down, I think one of my most grustrating MIL problem is when she implies that I’m torturing or starving my husband & kids by not using tons of butter, salt, & spices in my cooking. The fact that we use 1% milk rather than whole, whole grain breads & pastas, & other healthy foods is apparently a travesty. And when the kids & I became vegetarian a few years ago, she just about hit the roof! :-)
Well my in laws are great and I son have really any bad stories just an awkward moment. My MIL asked me if we were goof to use protection since my birth control just got put in and we had to wait for a while before it would work properly. Just awkaes for her to ask me anything in relation to me having sex with her son lol! Besides that she just pushes her religion on me way too much to the point where she sends me pass along cards! I know she means well but I hate it! His whole family is like he family I never had! My family is a big mess so imglad I found someone that I can get there love and there families love! :)
my inlaws never come to visit us but are always asking for us to come visit. they also play favorites with their other son because he is not as well off as we are. it is really aggrivating that they are so complicated. i could go on and on but i will keep this simple!
Familyin-law are somethimes can be really difficult :(
The other day I was driving my in-laws around showing them where we have been living for the past 2 months and I ended up going down a one way street. It wasn’t just a side street either, it was a pretty big road. I had to do a U-Turn in the middle of the road. This was after I had already slammed on the breaks at a yellow light the day before. It was a rental car under my name and my father-in-law was probably keeping his eyes closed because he couldn’t drive the car.
I’m from KY, My Inlaws are from OHIO. While spending a week with my Inlaws, My Mother-In-Law, Decided she needed to tell me step by step how to make Sweet Tea like Ohio people do…It took her over 20 minutes to explain in detail how to make tea…OMG I wanted to laugh it was so funny. After we got home we had friends over and I was getting ready to make Tea, My husband thought it was so funny he called his Mom put her on speaker phone and had her tell me again how to Make Tea my Friends were laughing so hard.
My in laws have not liked me since the day I met my husband. Even though are families are close family friends they can’t stand me. I am blamed for taking him away, letting him join the military, and they do not even acknowledge my children at all. They ignore my kids to the point of ridiculousness since they look like me. My husband has tried talking to them and if he mentions me they hang up. I send them pictures and they throw them away. Ive never done anything to them but marry their son…
My mother in law is always the victim no matter what the situation is. She claims my husband has disowned her even though we send her birthday cards, Christmas cards, and call on occasion. Her and our son have the same birthday and she has never once called or sent a card for his birthday. There is no excuse for that!
Wow I have so many…..My husband is an only child raised by all women. i have to say this ear is the first year we can actually have a conversation with all of them with out getting pissed off. we have been married for 10 years..
Hmm I have so many about my husbands stepmom.let see im a bad mom bc my 2 yr old isnt potty trained and my newborn had a few scratches bc of his nails.its my fault that my husband doesnt wanna be around her and she erased me from her fb. she didnt speak to me at my daughters bday and complained bc we didnt provide a huge meal, party was at 2 at monkey joes thats not lunch time…i could go on and on
Oh man, where should I start?! My MIL has not liked me from day one. She believes that I took her only normal child away from her, as she has an 11 year old son who has CP. My husband and I have been married for almost 2 years, and she believes now I control him. I understand that it is hard having a child with CP and your life is basically put on hold, but it is not your 24 year old sons responsibility to take care of him! She gets very angry if she needs someone to watch him and my husband has to work or is gone for his Drill weekend. Let me just remind you that she is MARRIED and maybe I just don’t understand why her husband can’t sit at home for a little bit while she can get out of the house? My husband spent his whole middle school and high school days taking care of his brother, she needs to realize that he now has a life and family of his own. MIL can be a handful to deal with! Props to those of you who have ones you love and enjoy being around! My MIL likes to make “family” plans when we have plans that she already knows about and then cancels them and says “whatever”. We try to go to her house at least once a week, and when we do so she is very short and not sociable at all! I am not sure what she expected when my husband grew up, maybe she thought he would live at home forever? There comes a point in life when you have to cut the cord and clearly she did not want to do that!
Well I have 4 inlaws cuz he came from a split family where as I grew up with just my biological parents. My MIL and SFIL are a ministry family. So our first phone conversation my MIL asked me if I was going to heaven or hell. Scary and I met them the day before our wedding. Then there was our first Xmas together was a disaster everything went well till xmas night when his step dad threatened harm against my husband and I just cried the entire night. I’ve been getting along great with my SMIL and FIL are wonderful since the beginning I’ve loved spending any chance I get and I actually get along with his MIL but the day we found out we we’re pregnant with our child only 2 days before he left for deployment all the family came to town and his MIL and SFIL acted sort of disappointed while everyone else was SO excited! Not sure if i’ll ever be able to forget that.
At risk of having a long story go longer, I will put it like this. I met my husband’s parents in ’01 and they treated me odd from the start because apparently I’m the first Mexican they’ve ever encountered. By ’02 I found out that his Mom had been using his SS# to gain credit cards etc and also caused him to be sued totaling about $20K on his credit. It was an ongoing issue of them blaming me for him having a problem with HER stealing his identity and treating us terribly. If it wasn’t one thing it was another. The entire family turned on me rather than own up to what my Mother in Law did to my husband. So he joined the Army in ’05, they hated me for it and then after his first deployment(at which they sent him ONE package in 15 months) he came home in ’08 and decided to give them an ultimatum. Pay off the debts to make things right or not see him and their 2 granddaughters anymore. They kept their money and we haven’t seen them since! The email HIM occasionally and tell them they miss HIM, but act as if I do not exist and obviously weren’t too keen on our daughter’s either. My husband just ignores them. I definitely have a Monster In Law. BLAH! LOL!
My MIL and I used to get along great… I dont know what happened but we have definetely hit a wall. When our daughter was getting dedicated when she was about 3 months old my family threw a little get together celebration after. My mom specifically asked her if she was coming right after church got out (we were all going straight over to the house) and she told her yes. 3 hour later, she never showed up. I was livid!
Since then we have moved away to our first duty station the only time she calls or talks to us is when she needs money! What the heck!
First I want to say that I love my in-laws and things could be so much worse! What drives me absolutely crazy with them is that none of them will tell each other “no”. They are so afraid of hurting someone’s feelings that they give into EVERYTHING. One main time that ticked me off the most was when our son was born. We didn’t want the younger kids to hold him until he was a few weeks old and my sister-in-laws went nuts! They were horrified that we wouldn’t let their 5 and 9 year old kids hold our 2 day old son. My husband gave in to one sister and let her daughter hold him so she wouldn’t be upset even though it was his idea not to let them….
My MIL and SMIL are in competition with each other ever since they found out we were having a baby. I haven’t met my MIL yet & my SMIL I don’t get along with. We just tolerate each other, and that’s even hard to do with pregnancy hormones! She talks about taking the baby away from us and making it hers, and saying we can’t PCS anywhere, (lol) while she’s a military wife herself! She constantly tries to tell me what to do and “put me in my place”…drives me NUTS!
My in-laws want nothing to do with my husband unless he is handing out cash …
Well;; my inlaws are something else. Let me just stick with the first impression I had of them. Me and my husband decided to get married before his first deployment to Iraq. His family REFUSED to show up to see me “trap” there precious son into marrying me. That I was just using him to get his BAH. && then refused to send his birth certificate so we couldn’t get married in NC had to go to SC. Mind you every chance we get including a four day we drive 1161 Miles; 19 hours just to see them. && I go WAY out of my way to be nice to them. Just for them to COMPLETELY turn on me every time he deploys. && call me a whore for having pictures in my bathing suit on facebook. My husband LOVES them; he’s deployed and wants to see what goes on in my life. BACK OFF; K thanks. <3
During the year that my husband was deployed my sister in law refused to speak to me directly and would only have contact with me through text message, Facebook or her mother, who didn’t like calling because she is painfully shy.
Well My Mother In Law came to visit when I had my baby to help out and everything and my husband only had 10 days of maternity leave. So the day goes on and she bathes my baby and when she was done giving my little one a bath she asked if the baby had a towel and I told her “No I don’t that I don’t have a lot for my little one due to a financial crunch at the moment than she turns around and tells me ” you don’t have a lot for the baby but you have a iPad!” and here I am biting down my tounge trying not to say anything back to her the iPad was a birthday gift from my husband. So later on that day she went and told my husband that she wants a iPad than my husband and her and my Father in law went to go get her a stupid iPad. I was so mad and here she was excited about her new iPad.
My MIL and I used to get along great! Until my husband and I were 17 and told them we were pregnant, and she was so irrate! “Better make sure its after June 6th so I’m at least 40!” and “Don’t forget there are OTHER options…you don’t have to keep it!” So that caused a lot of tension. But after the whole family continuously daying our daughter wasn’t my husbands (even though their IDENTICAL!!!) I just lost it on them told them they can think and say whatever they want! But if they can’t have any kind of respect for me when I’m NOT going anywhere then not only were they gonna loose their grandchild…but their son too. My husband told them they either knock the crap off and accept me or loose us all. But after all that my MIL and FIL have an AMAZING relationship!!!!
My MIL ran out on the family years ago so I didn’t have to deal with her, but now she has no one and realizes her huge mistake and wants back into the family- ha! Not happening. I’d consider her a monster in law for sure! My father in law on the other hand is amazing! :)
My in-laws are super funny. They love to eat out or eat processed food all the time. I figured it was because they didn’t like to cook. Well they came to visit us and I decided to home cook all the meals. I personally don’t love to cook but I do like to entertain when we have guests. We grilled out and my MIL was talking about how good the food was and then I noticed that she threw half of it away and gave the rest to my FIL. Later that night she was eating a bag of chips and cookies…LOL
Unfortunately my mother in law died before I ever got a chance to meet her. It makes me really sad for my future children since I do not get along with my own mother.
My FIL, though, is a little crazycakes. He recently told my husband not to contact him unless he was prepared to give him money! Give me a break!
I really dont get along with my in-laws but it didnt start that way… they loved me. My husband was a Marine when we first started talking. He was due out in just a few short months. When he came home we spent ALOT of time together, ended up getting married and having a baby. Unfortunetly, his current job was not dependable and he truly hated being a civilian. The military was all he knew. He came to me one day with a list of pros and cons of reenlisting. We decided together that if it is what he wanted to do, I was all for it. That is when everything went south. According to his family I made him join the military again to support me and my children (1 together and 2 from a previous marriage) I made him so miserable that he wanted to go off to war to get away from me. After AIT my husband went to Korea for a year and I stayed home ofcourse. It was miserable, it was my fault he never called them and so on.. When his year tour in Korea was almost over we given order to GA. My husband deployed shortly after. They called every day of deployment to see what we were doing, what the baby (their granchild) had to eat that day, who was at the house and so on. I explained to my husband that this upset me because I am a grown woman and dont need them checking up on me. Well then they were upset because “I didnt want them calling becuase I was hiding something”. Really, my husband is off fighting for his life and you have to email him this BS.. Ofcourse my husband new my daily plan and just blew it off and he didnt call them because his calls were to his family (his wife and kids) no one else~~~He did ask them to come when he returned from deployment and noone could be bothered! His sister travels everywhere and was in NC about 6 hours away and couldnt even bother to come visit. I have some of the most hateful inlaws ever…… I could really use this package!
My mother in-law is a real life Madea , that says it all !
My mother in law hated me sooooooo much that she actually did everything she could to try to prove I was just trying to find a meal ticket. Which is completely untrue. But okay the story, It all started with my husband being in Iraq. I had a daughter whos father was never around. I was living in a one bedroom apartment sleeping on a couch so my daughter could have the bedroom to herself. Well we knew each other from high school and started talking again when he was in Iraq. My daughters father was never around never helped. So we had been together about a month and my daughter got very sick and I lost my job. I had been using my college money to pay my bills and ran out. I told him I was moving in with my mom didnt tell him why anything and he called the apartment and paid off my bill. I didnt know until I went to tell them I couldnt pay and would need to leave. That is just how he is, he helps everyone out if he can. His mother thought I was talking him in to this. Anyways fast forward. We decided to get married and I was having a hard time finding a job so his mother decided I was marrying him for his money lol. Well he told me to look at ideas for rings and one day his mom said she would like to go with. I was so happy it seemed she was finally accepting me. Well we went to a few stores and she kept picking out rings that were very different from what I liked. All the same amount so it had nothing to do with price, just that I told her I didnt really care for that style and one ring I told her was something I could never see as my wedding ring and really wouldnt like. Well that night he called her since he was the one who sent her out with me. She went so far as to tell him the last ring which I told her I really didnt like was the one that I told her I couldnt live without. She even made sure we couldnt return it. So that night he called to ask about the ring his mom said I loved and how happy he was I found something I liked. He had already had her go out and get it. So as he was talking about it I said no I think she may have gotten confused that was the one I didnt like. Well he starts freaking out. But ya she made sure he got me the ring I hated expecting me to show my “true” colors and get her baby back. To bad for her the ring was only a peice of jewelry and I still wear it to this day because of the meaning. She is always telling him how horrible of a wife I am etc it will never get better and Ill take it because I love him no matter how crazy his mom is haha.
My MIL has adaughter who is five, and everytime she comes to visit she tries to get my husbands sister to give him a hug or talk to him fails everytime. except once where she demanced her mother to call her princes is was hilarious her face was so serious.
Oh Im also starving their son because I refuse to cook everything in a stick of butter (cheeseburger, i mean everything!). I am a hypochondriac because I go to the dr when I dont feel well (I am high risk this pregnancy, I have 2 collapsing discs in my neck, and have DDD and DJD). Ugh What else oh Im a terrible wife because I expect my husband to participate in the raising of our children, I expect him to help around the house (my fil sits on the couch from the min he walks through the door and everything even if its 2ft away is put in his hand). I dont parent correctly, I ignore my children because I take them outside to play, Oh im anorexic because I am skinny (5’5 and 130 pounds). I starve my children because they are not over weight. I think I covered it.
My MIL has said my husband did drugs when we 1st got together n than said I was raking him tha n tried 2 say me n my BIL had somethin goin on didn’t come see my daughter when she was born n didn’t met her til she was a month old even though it was really hard for us 2 get pregnant had 3 MS prior to her… Said I lost spot of weight when my husband went 4 training that maybe I was doing drugs!!! what can I say I have a lovely monster n law I mean mother lol oh n did I mention she s a preacher?!?! Lol I guess cuz only god can forgive her!! I dont talk about the rest of my in laws or I would b here forever n could prolly write a book!!?
Unfrtunately, my in-laws passed when my husband was 12. But, I was fortunate to come across his Grandmother whom I loved, but, at times would pick on me. I am of Puerto Rican descent and because she disliked “mexicans” to her any hispanic race was “mexican”. Long story short, anytime she would see me she would argue with me repeatedly that I was “mexican” and not “Puerto Rican” in her words “it was all the same shit” lol…lol…. Maybe she got this impression because I just loved mexican food and a lot of my friends were mexican? NOT SURE or simply to her “it was all the same shit” I loved her to pieces but this was one topic she battled until she was blue in the face! acolonallison@yahoo.com
R.I.P. Granny!
I honestly have to say that I have a wonderful Mother-in-Law, we have our moments but I know that I can always count on her for love and support. With that being said, here is my story.
When I met my husband I was a divorced mother with an almost 2 yr old daughter so meeting my in-laws for the first time was kind of scary, Father-in-Law is retired AF and my Mother-in-Law is a very strong person who held down the home front with 4 children, they fell in love with my daughter and our lives were complete. At this time I worked in a hair salon and I excelled at coloring hair in particular so one day my Mother-in-Law came in to have her hair colored, cut and styled by me. This being the first time I did her hair and as nervous as I was did not help any of what occurred next, she wanted to go a lovely shade of brown with a touch of auburn. In my nervousness I grabbed a semi-permanent color and proceeded to mix the color and apply it to her grey hair… 35 minutes later I was panicking as I rinsed out the color and saw that her hair was a nice shade of BUBBLEGUM PINK! I have to admit that she handled it so much better than I would have, she calmly got up and stated that she was going to go smoke and when she got back I WOULD fix her hair. I was crying until the other customers started laughing and stated how they would give anything to be able to do that to their Mother-in-Law!!! When she got back I fixed it and it actually came out to the color she wanted in the first place. How many of you can say that they turned their Mother-in-Laws’ hair pink?
I wish I had a mother-in-law I could complain about. My husbands mother passed away to complications from cancer in 2005. I met her once when I was in highschool, but that was so long ago I don’t remember her. My husband and I have a 2 year old daughter and a child on the way. I wish my children had the opportunity to meet their other grandmother. Luckily, my husbands father is a wonderful man. Please be thankful that your children have the opportunity to enjoy both sets of grandparents- even if it doesn’t work out right now. You never know what the future holds.
Don’t have to worry about the in-laws. One of the perks about the military, we don’t live close enough to be bothered.
One I first became apart of my inlaws family 8 years ago, i was the girl who stole her only son, and her babies heart….. The first year i was accused of using my spouse and not being the right one for her boy…. but now I LOVE my mil more then anything and honestly look forward to spending as much time as we can with them, i can even call here when im frusterated and whatever i need!
I thought I was getting along with my MIL, we would have long conversations before I married my husband. We went shopping and out to lunch together. I even busted my butt helping stain her crown molding and putting a shelving unit together for her. I thought things were grest until I saw my wedding pictures, there wasn’t a single picture of her smiling! She even posed for pictures with a sour look on her face. Since we have gotten married she has come to visit once and said she was ready to leave hours later and kept that attitude the whole time she was here. We have gone up there a couple times and she acts as if our children don’t even exist. Needless to say now we visit my family.
My MIL wore a white gown to my wedding!! It’s about time I get a prize for dealing with her!!
Well the jury us still out on my in-laws. The males are not bad. I get along great with his dad. His brother makes surprises impossible. But his mom and sister… Never cease to surprise me. The real kicker is they were awesome before we announced engagement. Over the next two years they tried to drive a wedge between my husband and myself. They always did things when he would leave the room. I finally got him to see it for himself. Needless to say 5 years later I only worry about splinters during our holidays with them. Although… After this past year, I think my hubby is done. He was rubbed the wrong way and left with his own splinters. Sad thing is I had encouraged our commitment to a close relationship with our families because I wanted a big family.
My inlaws… hmmm. after we got married my husband got information that he was going to deploy again. We told the families at the holiday and thats when it erupted. lol. His family gave him an ultimatum his wife or his “family” he chose me. Come to find out they wanted his deployment money as they have always had it and used it. they put bills in his name and let them go to collections which we are still in process of removing. He was told by them that I would cheat take his money and our daughter.. there prediction was wrong. lol. Since he chose me over them they wrote him a letter on facebook saying that they hoped he would die overseas… Lets just say I was very angry at that one. and that I was a horrible mom who wouldn’t give and love or anything to my daughter who they have never met bc we stopped talking to them before she was born. I’m sorry a woman who lets her kids get physically and emotional abusedfor years in everyway has NO right to give me parenting skills. sorry for the length but that is the very short version, and thank you for reading :)
My inlaws are great for the most part but they can be pretty controlling of our life. My mother inlaw trys to influence us and sometimes I have a melt down when my husband just can’t see it. He is so used to his Mom doing everything that he doesnt mind as much as I do when she butts in too our lives. I just have to try and keep our visits to no more than 2 weeks and then we are fine.
My MIL is deceased, but I do have dreams that she was trying to kill me. Hope she’s not haunting me from beyond. Does that count?
Well… my MIL and I don’t exactly get a long! I have so many stories but the most recent complaint would have to be that on my Husbands last deployment she didn’t send him 1 letter, card, or care package! Actually no one in his family did! And then they didn’t understand why my husband didn’t want to go visit!
My mother in law likes to call and ask me questions like the date of my husbands birthday, or his favorite food, like she doesn’t already know! She likes to pretend she just cant remember her own child’s birthday, but she is really testing me! Conversations with her are soooooo fun.
