Worst in laws ever
So this is gonna be a very long post just venting cause besides my husband and mom I have no one to vent to and they've already talked about this with me a lot lol so here y'all go. Get yo snacks.
I have the worst in laws ever. (Maybe not ever, but they're still pretty freaking bad). I've been with my husband for 6 and a half years and married since this past August. I met them (his step mom and dad) when we were dating for only 4 months. I'm really shy and have bad anxiety so meeting them was a lot for me. From the day I met them, they have been nothing but rude to me. They make fun of me being quiet around them and make it known to every person we are around with them that I'm soooo quiet, which was really embarrassing to me. They would force me to eat more than I wanted when they made dinner cause they said it was rude to only eat a plate, and I felt awkward cause my anxiety so I would end up over eating a lot. (Which I always was trying to eat less and healthier too cause I'm already overweight). They have another son, and him and his wife would come to their house once in a while, while we were there and my in laws would pay no attention to me whatsoever. The step mom would take his sisters (teenagers), and the other Daughter in law to go shop or do nails and never once invited me. And they did those things every time we were there. They were just very rude to me and clearly didn't like me. Well me and my husband were still in college at the time and we would rent out different places in our city to live, and for the past 5 years we had 3 different houses. The other brother and his wife also moved around a lot in the same city as us. (The step mother and dad live in another state as us). Well my step mother in law and father in law would make special trips to see the brother and his wife multiple times throughout the years but never once visited us. Not even one single time. They have no idea what any of our houses looked like Including the one we have now. So we clearly aren't the favorites lol. The other DIL is a total b I t c h by the way, like shes done a lot of really messed up things to me and to the family as well so not sure why they love her so much. But anyways. So when my husband proposed to me, I was like I need to get closer to them if they're gonna be in my life forever. So I asked his sisters to be my bridesmaids (which im not close to them at ALL) and I asked his step mom to do my hair since she's a hairstylist. They said they would do it so I was like cool maybe we will get closer now. Well I was wrong lol. A few months passed and the only text I ever got from them was asking when we were trying on dresses and since they lived so far away It was hard to schedule. But we eventually got it worked out and they got their dresses or whatever even tho they didn't make a special trip to see me try on my dress, they got their dresses. But they never texted me elsewise, never saw them beforehand till the rehearsal dinner. I was messaging THEM along with my other 2 bridesmaids which also didn't care bout me apparently, asking THEM when she have a bachelorette party or bridal shower or anything wedding related and no one ever answered me. Fast forward the day before the wedding comes and we go to the rehearsal dinner which they did make look nice for us so I gave them thank you gifts and a nice speech and posted a long thank you post on Facebook (that they ignored), and thought all was well. The morning of my wedding the step mom and sisters yelled at me cause my husband and I were 15min late to the venue to start setting up (we were eating breakfast) 🙃 and I was apologizing and telling them we still had time to set up and it was fine and stuff. And they were like ok so what do we do. And I told them some things that needed to be done and they literally just stood there and did nothing. After about 15min they decided to leave to go back to their airbnb (which was across the city 30min away btw) to go shower i guess ? And they asked me when they needed to be back which I told them 3 times already previous days but I told them again, that the photographer was coming at 2:00 so we need to start getting ready around 12. Well 12 shows up and they're no where to be seen, and they won't answer my calls or texts. I'm freaking out cause like I said earlier she's doing my hair and i was no where near ready. And so 1:30 comes and she FINALLY showed up with his sisters. The step mom came barging in and yelled at me again saying "you told us to come at 2!!" And I said no I told you the photographer was coming at 2 and we needed to start getting ready around 12. And she rolled her eyes and started setting up her stuff and and I was getting my makeup done. Then she told her 15yr old daughter, my bridesmaid, to start curling my hair. So she did. My 15yr old SIL did my wedding hair. And it looked TERRIBLE. Like very frizzy and nothing that I wanted. I knew it wasn't her fault though so I just stayed quiet and thought about the rest of the day now that that stress was over.. so I just decided to play some music and be light hearted and fun and was making jokes and dancing when I could and everyone was just fine. Well when it came to my husband and I's dance with our parents, he wanted to dance with his Mom, not step mom, and I wanted to dance with my dad at the same time. I guess that really hurt his step mom's feelings? And so the day after our wedding she blew up his phone saying how much she regrets being apart of the wedding and she sees how much of a mom she is to him now and how mean I was to her getting ready and all this complete BS that's not even true. So he got in an argument with her saying no one else says those things about getting Ready true besides her, and thats there was multiple other girls in there besides them. And she basically just blocked us from social media and neither her or his dad has talked to him or me since August. His step mom has made tons of Facebook posts trying to get at me or to hurt me specifically and his dad too. Even yesterday they made a happy birthday post to the other DIL saying she was the best one they could ever have and how lucky they are to have her and bla bla bla. It just never ends. I know there's 2 sides to every story but my husband's parents have never once told us their side of why they are so mad us besides her making up lies on how mean I was to them in that dressing room. Which I honest to God wasn't. I've asked every girl that went in there to be honest with me ans tell me if I was coming off mean or rude and everyone of them was confused and said I looked and acted really happy and nice to everyone. Lkke we were dancing and being silly and making tik toks. Every wedding I get back, they were smiling too and happy too. I'm just so confused.
The nights leading up to my wedding I wanted to get my nails done with everyone, so I asked my step mom and my other 2 bridesmaids to go with me and then we can go play with hair and makeup afterwards. (I did my own makeup). And so when I get to the salon she invited my other SIL without asking me.. which whatever I guess but then my MIL was like oh us girls already got our nails done at my salon back where we live so we will just get pedicures without painting. And so they did that while I got my fingers done, and then my nieces lived 15min from that salon so they were on their way whenever they got started on my nails. So by the time they got there I was almost done and they were just getting started. When I got done and sil were all done, they were like ok ready to go? And I looked at them weird cause my other 2 bridesmaids were still getting theirs done. And I was like no they're not done yet and my step mom was like well we wanna go to Ulta now. And I was like ok well I'm not just gonna leave them so I said yall go ahead and ill call you later bout doing the hair and makeup stuff. So they left us. Another hour passed and my bridesmaids were finally done so I texted mt step mom bout coming over, and she was acting super weird bout it. She was like there's too many people at this airbnb and I never said I'd do anyone else's hair (which she told me the first month we were planning the wedding she would do mine and my 2 other bridesmaids hair) so I was like ooook well you don't have to, we can just hang out i guess. And so we went over there and the 2 sisters and step mom shunned my bridesmaids and didn't say more than 3 words to them the entire time. It was so awkward.
But yeah I'm a terrible Daughter in law for putting up with her 😊 I could go on and on and on about stuff she did during the wedding, before the wedding, or after but it would take too long and I'm already rambling too much. (Btw she had her back turned to us during our first dance so every single picture of our first dance together she's in the background with her back to us)...
Anyways thanks for reading this garbage. Have a good day and if you have similar in laws or worse im sorry, and screw them 😔
