Major vent- no sympathy needed, but have to get this off my chest

This is what I want to do to my mother in law -----> 


I will NEVER understand how my wonderful husband came from her. He is the best. The only fault that I can find is her. She is so freaking crazy and I am about to join the same club as her.

First off let me say she is a very emotional person. She means good. But she drives me mad. I finally told her what happened with Alex and she acted like my son was the most evil child and we were the worst parents. She told me to make sure we lock up our knives and scissors so he doesn't hurt us. Oh my God. I listened to this talk for 5 minutes and then told her I had to go and hung up on her. I have never done this in the 11 years my husband and I have been together, but damn it felt good to hang up on her.

Rant over. Blood pressure starting to go down.

Maybe your MIL and mine are related somehow???  She is so bad that Steve and I only see her once or twice a year and went for 5 years without seeing or speaking to her other than at funerals!  She is all about "my son" and refuses to accept Kara as her granddaughter (even though Steve accepts her as his daughter!) and she treats his boys and their 1/2 and step brothers better.  I refuse to be a part of it!  We recently saw her to tell her about Froggy and she acted better.  I think she finally realizes if she wants to be a part of our lives and of Froggy's life then she has to play nice and by our rules!  We will see...I have no problems cutting her out again.  I am being nice just letting her have another chance! 

Know that you are not alone in this and it will get better somehow.  Good for you for standing up for yourself and hanging up.  I pray she gets the picture!

Tam- according to her we better lock these knives up. I just might put her in a room with him and knife. If you want to throw you mil thats fine too. ugh! I have always been so nice to her (fake of course) but come on. We can only put up with so much. And now she started with my son. Bad place to go. I am not sure what we are going to do.

She called my hubby a couple minutes ago and said she didnt need him to come over and fix her window today, she will go on the ladder by herself. She didnt want to get in between my husband and my arguement. WTF lady. Hubby and I are fine. Its her and I that have the problem. She is such a baby. Oh course my husband is not going to let her fix the window.

I HATE WEAK WOMEN!

She is soooo playing him!  My MIL tried that one, too, but was really shocked when Steve chose me over her!  She got what she deserved.  I am being the better persone by giving her ONE more try.  I even told her if she messes up this time around then that is it!  Background...she left Steve, his older and younger brother in a house alone when their dad had gone off to work a two week straight shift (he didn't come home...was on for 24 hours a day for two weeks then off for three weeks) with a loaf of bread and a jar of spagetti sauce to last for two weeks while she moved in with her Preacher boyfriend (now husband!).  I have zero respect for this woman and neither does Steve.  They did not have a great relationship prior to me...she will learn.  I am a strong willed woman and I will NOT be walked all over by ANYONE!  I am praying for you....be strong, sweetie!

what a wonderful mother he had! Not. ugh. How some women can become mothers is beyond me. My husbands mom was a single parent, so he is very sensitive about hurting her feelings at all. Well, she is a grown woman. Now my husband and I are fighting because I sent her this response on myspace

I do love you. What you said was wrong though. Alex does have an anger problem. We do the best we can for him. You calling Sean and saying that he does not have to come over and fix the windows because he and I are having problems? Please. Its you and I that are having problems. You calling and saying he doesn't have to come over is so childish. You know he is going to. I try to stay quiet when you say things that hurt me, because I know we are your only family. I have decided now that I will not hide how I feel anymore. I am going to need time to decide how I am going to handle this. As of now, Sean will be dropped off the fix your window after we take our son to the doctor.

I didn't mean anything wrong.  I wouldn't give a sharp object to any kid, because a kid can trip and accidently hurt himself or someone else.  For that matter, I don't even trust myself with a sharp object for the same reason.  I realize it is none of my business, so I will not bring it up again.  I will not discuss it with him either.  I will play dumb.  If he brings it up, I will change the subject.

Love,
Teresa

I so feel for you....I have been there!  Be on your toes and pray she means that she will stay out of it and actually do it!  Prayers are being said for you...I know you need them.  Stick to your guns!
