MIL won’t stop stepping on our toes! 🤬
I have been married to my husband for 8 years now. I have put up with this woman for 11 years and I honestly don’t know how I do it. We have three boys together and you can tell which one is her favorite. Everyone can see it and she is the only one that shows any favoritism towards my kids. My MIL is so controlling. When it comes to our children and decisions we make, she throws a fit about it like a child if we go against her or don’t take her advice. All hell breaks loose if you say no to her. And it’s petty stuff. She has so many issues with her own daughter and her family ( my husband isn’t biologically hers. He is her nephew.) why can’t she stay out of mine. We lived with them at one time and we got into an argument. I had to remind her I am the mother because anytime my kids did something wrong, I couldn’t correct them myself. She jumped right on it.
Now what happened today is what started me on this rant and gives an example of what I mean. My son (her favorite) is always at her house every Saturday. So today, he has to come home for school tomorrow, had the nerve to ask if he can miss school tomorrow and stay another night? 🧐🤨🤔 I said no. I said he needs to go to school and he already missed school for a week because of snow days and will be missing another week in a couple months for our vacation. I asked my husband if I’m the worst person in the world now. He said probably. Umm the last I checked we are his parents and if roles were switched and we kept him from school for something pointless, we would be the worst parents. I am at my point where I don’t care anymore how she feels. Oh and she always says she is not about drama but once something is not good enough or someone calls her out on something, better believe that will be on social media and she makes sure she adds detail so you know she is talking about you.... you know what?.. 👍🖕🏻I am so over all this And the “world revolves around her”.
Sorry but I needed to rant and know I’m not crazy.
