How do y’all deal with a controlling mother in law?

I’m at Witt’s end with my mother in law! She is co controlling over my husband that it’s not funny. My husband doesn’t even think she’s controlling.

My husband has to drive her everywhere and he gives her an ‘allowance” every week! I told him that it bothered me, and it comes back with, “it’s my mom”

He told me one day when he was driving her around, she fell asleep and he hit a pot hole. She hit on the arm because it startled her. It’s like she has control over his life and she still thinks she can spank him because “she brought them into the world and suffered for him”

Even though my husband told me he had to watch his younger siblings because his mom and dad were at work and had to cook for them…. He didn’t have a childhood and she abused him. He thinks it’s normal!

I just want my husband to see that it’s not normal! It’s not normal for him to make decisions with his mom when he has a wife and has kids with me…. It’s not normal to be your moms taxi driver because she gets jealous that all the attention is on me and our kids… it’s not normal to beg for money when she has a job and no bills to pay…

She wants everything that I have! She came over to our house and told my husband she wants my plants and a couch like ours! She doesn’t even talk to me!

I took her out to eat after I picked our son up from school and she held on to that hook thing in the car and was on the phone with someone the entire time! Even at the restaurant. She makes zero effort in being in our kids’ life!

I told my husband about what happened and what continues to happen, and he said, “well you don’t talk to her”!

Really? He needs a reality check!

How does one even live like this? I’m starting to resent my husband, because of his mom & of course him!
