motherinlaw

Let me start by saying I love my mother-in-law. She likes me too, so there is no issue with that. However, me and my fiance are planning a July 2013 wedding and she suddenly makes snide remarks to him and finds something wrong with everything we mention we might want to do. We want to be married...

she can't come? FH and I are spending Thanksgiving with my family this year-FMIL was going to spend the day with her sister, but her sister will now be visiting other family, which means FMIL will be alone-she did get offers from members of her church to spend the day with them, but she turned...

Firstly, I love my fiance more than anything! All I want is for this relationship to be perfect. So... a week ago my fiance had a big arguement with his family via the telephone. It had been building up for over a week after a pretty much disasterous birthday/engagement party I organised for...

out my wedding dress? I have always imagined a mother-daughter day to pick out my wedding dress (and to avoid too many opinions). However, my future mother-in-law wants to come along. How do I tell her that I only want my own mom there?

I'm hosting my mother-in-law's birthday at my house and I really want to cook her something extravagant. She loves my cooking, but I've been making the same recipes for her (cheesy mashed potatoes, scalloped potatoes, mac and cheese, cheese enchiladas, bread pudding/muffins/cookies, etc.) and...

...have kids. Well, isn't it rude? Last night, FMIL tagged along with FH and I when we went to the movies. After the movie was over and FH was in the bathroom, FMIL made small talk and then, out of the blue, said, "I've been dying to ask, when are you going to have kids?" I told it that was a...

...day. Why is she so mad? FH and I went to a BBQ at FMIL and FFIL's for the 4th of July holiday. While we were there, FMIL pulled me aside and told me she wanted to be in the room with me the day of the wedding and help me get ready. I felt put on the spot, but I told her the truth-that getting...

...have to be mad? Racist future mother-in-law asked me a few days ago to forgive her for her past actions, which included her saying she wouldn't come to my bridal shower because it was going to be "too black" and demanded to know if the wedding would only consist of "black traditions." That is...

My mother-in-law is constantly comparing me to her other daughter-in-law. She warms up to her more than she does to me. The thing is, the other daughter-in-law is a giant suck-up, for lack of a nicer term. I have been myself because I feel it is inappropriate to act one way to someone and be...

My husband and I have been married for six months. He is the youngest child in his family and has always been pretty close to his mother. I love my mother-in-law. She is the greatest, but sometimes I feel she oversteps her bounds a bit. She treats me like a child, and treats my husband as...

I am dating a younger guy and his mother is working my nerves. We live together. His mother has a boyfriend and 2 other children but for some reason she is clingy with my boyfriend. When she never cared before, now all of a sudden, she is stressing him to spend time with her. Take for instance...

FMIL has whined to FH that whenever she visits, I never have food around, never offer to cook for her, never ask her if she wants anything to eat or if she is thirsty. I say that I am not her nursemaid and that he son can do all that for her. I have two jobs, am in grad school and have an...
