When my son was eventually born, after two miscarriages and endless weeks in hospital, I was over the moon and we called him Philip. When she first came to see him after his birth her first words were "What d'you want to go and call him a name like that for!!" I was mortified. Even moreso when I discovered doing my family tree that her father was called Philip!! Didn't know at the time just a name I had always liked. Just one of many many hurtful things she said to me over the years - I never ever retaliated

you should have, thats why she gets away with it

Hi Ann,
Mine said on our wedding day
"Your not good enough for my daughter!"
I now know she was right..lol...GA

what an old cow!!

When a family member had her first son, whose father didn't want him, his fathers' mother said, he doesn't look like him. He is now his double.. Unfortunately lol

Don't let her away with it. If she doesn't like the name, Tough s..t

she can't get away with it now - she's pushing up the daisies!

Every time my baby girl cryed ( which babies do quite a bit ) my M.I.L. would say " Is she being horriable to youuu " this happened over and over again.
Months of this passed.......one day the M.I.L.came round,I had friends visiting,she spread a knitting pattern out on the floor ( very in charge ) baby toddled
onto pattern.Nanny pushes her backwards,baby cries...... I in complete triumph say " Ahhh....is SHE being horriable to youuuuuuu "!! Imagine to LOOK.

" AAAARRRRGGGHHHH shes pregnant isnt she ?" after i had told her we were getting married

nice one amanda

We only see my husbands mum about once a year lol, so cant even remember the last time we spoke to her. My ex mother in law is lovely though, we get on like a house on fire.

nothing to do with me but. I was to hear those words over and over until i got divorced 11 years later lol

u will marry him

My MIL says she would not give us a year till our marriage would be on the rocks..................38 yrs and still going strong ..............would sue her if she were alive.

The day before my wedding my MIL said " Of course he would have married ******** if he had , had any money ".

This has just made me realise, again, just how very lucky I have been with my Mum-in-law.
She is getting very frail now, at 94, and I am dreading the day when she is no longer around.
She has been a good friend to me.

Oh dont get me started on my MIL

most of the members that have been here a while will know of my problems with her, she was the topic of many a thread lol

How horrible for you Ann.

I know of a few MIL's like that.

My MIL unfortunately died nearly ten years ago and happily we got on very very well. I considered her a friend as well as my MIL.

The only thing she ever really did to upset me, and it wasn't meant, it was just a genuine mistake as she thought I knew............

When OH and I announced we were getting engaged. She said * Will you be wanting the presents from his last engagement?*

He hadn't bothered telling me he'd been engaged two years before he met me the daft s*d.

Also she was adament that I'd been to NY with him, but it wasn't me it was the ex lol

Bless her she was mortified. xx

When my son got married I said to my future daughter-in-law - I'm going to be a bitch to you cos I had a rotten mother in law!! Only joking of course, I was determined to be a lovely one and with her it really is easy - I love her like the daughter I never had - cannot think of a single thing I don't like about her

Lucky she wasnt buried at sea Ann, at least you can dance on her grave!!!!

nice one Taff, had never thought of that - hysterical actually - she'll probably come back and haunt me tonight
