Inlaw Trouble, beautiful babies australia, smiths directory, free stuff, baby advice

Oh dear, well i think alot of people dont get along with the "MOTHER INLAW" especially me..... My mother inlaw lives about 17000 kms away and still drives me freakin crazy! For starters we hae put our wedding off "THREE" TIMES because she said the time wasn't right for her for some reason or another. Now we have made another date and she has decided to tell us that marriages are not worth it and they will be sure to break down after 7years... As she has had 3 failed marriages you might understand?She said she probably wont come to the wedding now cos she doesn't want to see her ex or her daughter... F****** WIERDO!mind you the daughter is a crazed phsyco like her! I'd prefer none of them to come!

She has also asked when matt and i are having more kids about 400000 times! Though she has NEVER COME TO SEE THE GRANDCHILD SHE ALREADY HAS! I have only met this woman once too! when she made us travel 21 hours with a 6 month old....she makes up strange stories aobut matt being a realy unhealthy child, and that i have to watch out for all these diseases her family might have passed on... but has no evidence to show me. Anyways, sorry this is about you.... shouldn't have got me started, haha.

I try to just ignore alot of what she says, it is really hard and at times. And things she says really get to me at times, but my partner is very supportive and knows what his very strange family is like. So i suppose my partner is my best coping method... Although he is away for 6 months... i might have to go into hiding! Hope your partner is as understanding! good luck and if you need a talk let me know

I feel for you! My husband and I live about 5 min from my in-laws and I have to see them ALL THE TIME! They are really lovely people, but as you said yourself - You have your own family now. It would be nice to be our own family and not have to involve them in absolutely everything that goes on in our lives.My only advice is to talk to your mother in-law, scary as it sounds. I have had to learn to speak up, because otherwise my MIL would be over at our place every single day, hanging out my clothes and doing the dishes (sounds good, but makes me feel completely incompetent). She went through a stage of buying my husband toothpaste (for his sensitive teeth), offering to buy him clothes for job interviews (I can do that) and then offering to iron the bloody things. It made me feel like she thought I couldn't do things for my own family.

Things have gotten heaps better since I spoke to her, and though she still tends to baby my husband a bit, I have the luxury of a bit of personal space now, and she generally asks me before she does things. Luckily she has not been pushy on the subject of more kiddies.So try for an adult discussion with her, and MAKE her listen to you!

Yeah i think alot of people have this problem, i sure do my partner is the youngest in his family so his mum treats him like a baby and she always telling everyone im horrible to him and i know that look when you ask them to do something she is so old fashioned she thinks i should wash and iron clothes all day she even blames me for everything that goes wrong in our relationship i really dont know how anyone can control these crazy mother in laws but im thinking of moving far far away. But for now i just try to agree with her and not communicate as much as possible. Good Luck.

Mines not a mother inlaw problem just a SIL problem, she thinks that MY daughter is hers and tells me what to do with her all the time. she has been pestering me lately about day care and my daughter is only 5 mnths and she thinks she should go to day care..... i said "NO" and then she goes behing my back and asked my partner what he thinks and he should put her in day care i think she did that just to make us argue.....grrr you'll never get past the "INLAW" factor so i guess just put up with what you can and put your foot down when you need to, talk to your partner and make sure he sticks up for you on the importnat issues.

Hi I feel sorry for you all, courtney i think ur mother in law has maybe done too many drugs in her younger years to be that crazy hahaha. Anyway I love my parents in laws, they are great offer lots of support my son goes there sometimes 2 nights a week and they help out alot, They had a lot of trouble with my partner as he was going up he was a very angry kid and still he has problems controlling anger and when ever we fight they are the only ones i can call to come help me out, They are the type of parents to stick by their kids no matter what, although im sure my partner has made his parents depressed all the years he was living there with all his crap but now i have taken him away from them its alot better for them and he isnt nearly as bad as what he was. At the start of our relationship his dad said to him "i think she might be the one", and maybe he was right.
I feel sorry for the girls who arent close with the in laws coz really it feels great to know that they love me and respect me and think im the best for there son. Good luck to all of you with those crazy in laws haha
