You are blessed !! If my MIL found out I was sick, she’d cook for my husband & not for me. Lol good times, she’s great.
My MIL found out I'm sick
So we just announced our pregnancy this past weekend. My MIL found out this morning how sick I've been, and within a couple hours she had this
at my house. Her famous German soup and homemade German bread😭😭😭 So many posts about bad in laws makes me SO thankful for my amazing MIL! She's the sweetest person I know, and there are perks to living close to in laws❤
*edit* My husband brought this back around lunch time after visiting his mom on his way home from work. I was sleeping while he was home, so he text to let me know it was here. This evening when he got back home I asked if he wanted some of the soup. He said, "No, Mom didn't make that for me she said it's for you." 😂😂😂 I laughed so hard and told him to eat 😂😂😂 I've got an awesome MIL!!
*edit* I've never gotten so much attention on a post before😅 Just so you all know, my MIL is amazing, my FIL, not so much, and yes they are still married. So, I have seen both sides of having a great in law and a bad one. I choose to focus on the fact that my husband turned out nothing like his father, and every bit as gentle, kind, and considerate as his mom❤ I hope you all can also find peace that sometimes life isn't fair, and you just have to ignore the ones who seem to take pleasure in your pain. I also recently had to cut off my SIL, because of her constant negativaty. It's gone on for years, but once it was aimed at my baby, I was 1,000% done. Thankfully my brother, her husband, is happy and excited for his niece or nephew, though. Here's to all us "out-laws", choosing to find the joy, rather than focus on the pain. We're better than that, and we got this💪

I wish I was making it up lmao I loved his response too.. he gave me a smirk kind of like “ha I got under her skin” and he probs said it just because I was right there but whatever, I’ll tAke it. I wish I could see the look on her face though when I spoke up hahaha
Sa
Noooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!! Lol I love his response thoooooo lmao

I have another gem for you.. yesterday being Valentine’s Day and all my MIL calls my husband and he answers on speaker, I’m right next to him. She goes “what you don’t call to wish the love of your life happy Valentine’s Day?” And he responds “I already called my wife today but thanks for the reminder.” Girl I kid you not, she goes “you F-ing jerk” or something along those lines, def derogatory, and I couldn’t help myself I shouted “hi Donna! I’m right here! Happy Valentine’s Day!” and she repeated the same. Then knowing I could hear her she started giving him a hard time over not planning ahead and what not. He then asked if there’s any family events coming up and she said “nothing planned yet but you know you could come and see your mother.” Lord help me.
I love my in laws. Often times I wish my husband and I could switch parents. 😏 just saying.
Ha
I feel the exact same about my boyfriends parents!! They had him really young (15 and 17) but they are so funny and sweet. They are just the most easygoing, accepting and loving people I’ve ever met! They make me feel safe and loved something I can’t say I’ve felt in my own home for a long time. Both my parents are alcoholics and my father passed 6 years ago and left me and my brother with a falling apart drunk mom. It such a nice change of pace. It’s refreshing to see 2 people take something so pure as parenting and keep it that way. Sorry for the rant 😂 they are literally my favorite people ❤️😊

Yeah I feel the same about my in-laws!

Same here !
That’s how my MIL is! They’re Peruvian so I’m always supplied with rice, chicken/beef, beans, and different soups. It’s so great 😭 she always tells him “This is for Madison and the baby, not for you” and I crack up every time.

Oh wow I can’t even imagine that. Before I met my husband, I was with a guy whose parents were from El Salvador and that’s how she felt about me. She constantly trash talked me and assumed because I was white that I couldn’t cook a decent meal ( but I’m Italian so joke is on her). Being with my husband and knowing his parents, they’re like a breath of fresh air. I think your MIL is just being judgmental and trying to knit pick you. It seems like she just doesn’t agree with another woman coming in between her and her son. Some MILs can’t face the fact that their sons will put another woman on a high pedestal one day too.

Lucky!!! My husband is Peruvian and I loooove Peruvian food. But my MIL dislikes me. She told me that I wouldn’t ever fully understand or relate to my husband because I’m white. She is so angry that I am pregnant and constantly trash talks my “obsession with the doctors office”.... I go to my routine prenatal appointments. I’ve had several complications this pregnancy (my first, so it’s all a bit scary anyways!) and she says it’s all my fault bc I’m “looking for something to be wrong” by seeing the dr so much. She CONSTANTLY wants to come over and cook for my husband bc “there’s no way he’s eating well”. Criticized every tiny thing I do. Ugh. I really wanted that close MIL relationship. The most sad part about it is how much it hurts my husband. She isn’t hurting me (annoying me, though)... she’s hurting her own son 😢

Im peruvian!! Lol thats how we are. My mom will bring us food, and bring a lot to make sure my husband eats too. When i was in the hospital a couple of years ago due to a surgery, she cooked food for my husband for 2 days! Lol
Not my actual MIL, but I call my daughter’s grandmother my MIL. We’re super close and we talk every single day. I can count on her for everything, even though her son is a massive douche canoe 90% of the time. She helped me buy a car (because I had just bought a brand new car before I found out I was pregnant with my 4yo and it got repoed when he said he was making payments but he wasn’t). They live about 45 minutes away and she has no problem coming to help or just hang out whenever I need. Now I’m 21 weeks pregnant with fraternal twins, and even though though they aren’t hers (I’ve gotten engaged since I left her son), she’s still extremely involved and has already bought us gifts for the babies. She’s the best and I just don’t know what I would do without her.
Ma
Wow, I relate so much to this! I have a two year old and I’m super close with her dad’s mom, even though her dad and I separated when I was two months pregnant. Her and his step dad are like my own parents, they even disowned him because he has been absent as a father.

She’s the best. I’ve never met anyone nicer than her. And thank you 🥰

Congratulations btw!
My mil sent home a diet magazine in my diaper bag last night 🙄

And also so she always buys me a size small in clothes when I am tall and have 34dd boobs and it’s always embarrassing

They are boxed cookies not homemade either!

Omg i can so relate my bf’s mom sends me cookies in the mail all the time... she hates me and they are always boxes with no note or anything. After asking my bf a few time why she does this when I don’t eat junk food much I confronted her... she wants me to get fat so he will break up with me!
Awww!! I love hearing positive things about people’s MIL. Too many negative people saying negative things about their in laws. It’s sad. But lucky you’re blessed ❤️
la
Awww ❤️❤️ well I’m happy that you get along with at least one of them 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Ni
It really is!! Some in laws really are terrible but it's sad. I don't get along well with my FIL that's a whole different story. My MIL is a saint💕
