My MIL wanted a grandkid so bad from us, she told me I front of FIL and DH (her son) that I should just sleep with FIL because “DH comes from FIL, so they are the same.” I remember telling her that was disgusting and extremely disrespectful to both her husband and mine. I got some peace for the rest of the visit 😌.

If DIL had a child with FIL... Wouldn't that make the child husband's half brother, thus making the kid MIL's unrelated child and not the grandkid she had hoped?

In the Old Testament this was a brother's duty but only after the other brother was deạd. I'm not sure but I don't think FILs were allowed to do this even in the OT.

When my DH and I first got married, we lived several states away from our families. My JNMIL had not seen us in months, and was there to visit. She looked at my husband and screeched “All your hair is gone!” And then she looked at me and screeched “What did you do to him?!” My gorgeous DH has been losing his hair since he was in his early 20’s, so I’m not sure what the hell she was talking about. We were both so shocked we didn’t know what to say. I couldn’t believe she thought his hair loss was my fault! I have always wished I’d had the nerve to tell her that I’d f****d him so hard, his hair fell out!!!!

"JNMIL" stands for "Just No Mother-in-Law". It's a term used on the Reddit forum r/JUSTNOMIL to describe a mother-in-law who is consistently difficult, toxic, or a*****e. The "Just No" part signifies that the mother-in-law is perpetually problematic, beyond the typical "difficult in-law" scenario. -- Google A.I.

I was getting my hair done a few weeks ago and the only other patron was talking about her MIL to our hairdresser. I could see she was starting to get really upset and was getting close to tears.
I started talking about my MIL, letting her know she was not alone and we somehow ended up in this bizarre yet absolutely hilarious game of naming all the crazy shizzle our MILs have done in the past. By the end we were crying out laughing, it was so liberating!!
We closed with: I see your ’she thoughtfully gifted me postmenopausal face cream even though I am only 40’, and raise you a ’she got sued by the city for cutting off the tops (and only the very very tops) of all the pine trees in her garden - she then demanded I testify that it was my fault because DH spends all his time with me instead of him helping her clean up the needles’.

Mine contacted my husband's command when he was deployed to Afghanistan because he wasn’t calling or emailing her but he called and emailed me. Then she told them I hacked his email and deleted all her emails. She then demanded that she be added to the family readiness group emails so she could find out what was going on and they refused because my husband didn’t list her as a contact. When he finally emailed her to tell her to stop this craziness, she contacted the command again and told them I hacked into my husband’s email and sent that email to her. Haven’t had contact with her since and that was August 2011.

My ex MIL told me within a few weeks of our wedding that it was customary to be trained by one’s mother-in-law in order to learn how to be the perfect wife. She knows him best of course, so if I had any hope of being a good wife I should start listening to her wise words. I declined the training. Turned out he was a huge mama’s boy who didn’t even flush the toilet for himself and had to be told to brush his teeth, shower etc. He couldn’t even make toast. She wanted to train me how to be his literal servant. No thanks. 😒.

She tried to pull an emergency baptism when I left my twins with her to pick up SO from his Gpa's funeral.
SO's Jewish and I was raised Catholic but both of us are non-observant. We decided to expose the twins to both religions but to let them decide if they wanted any religion to be part of their lives. She decided to contact a priest from her congregation to force a baptism. It did not happen either due to said priest needing parental approval and/or unavailable.
Riley Quinn 6 months ago
If MIL truly was a Christian she'd know Genesis 2:24 - "Therefore a man will leave his father and his mother, and will join with his wife, and the two will become one flesh." Seems way too many Christian in-laws skipped right over this bit in their book.
Bookworm 6 months ago
I'm guessing the first one. Something along these lines was in one of the Slate advice columns once, and the columnist was pretty sure it was more of a DIY 'sprinkle some water and read a Bible verse in the basement' thing, because apparently most Catholic priests won't even consider doing a baptism without speaking to parents unless there are very serious extenuating circumstances along the lines of 'parents are both dead or in prison.'

My mum tried something similar with my girls. She used to take them to a camping site for a week or two every year that was linked to her church. One time, I got a phone call whilst they were there from the pastor asking me if it was okay to go ahead with the baptism that my mum had requested for my daughters. I politely declined and said that their dad would be along to pick both girls up as soon as he could drive the 200 miles to fetch them.

When it was time for my (Protestant) baptism, the priest demanded a signature from the father. My parents were already going through the divorce procedures. He was a deadbeat, accessible, but refusing to take any interest in us children. My Mum said "Okay, then she won't be baptised" and got up to leave. Suddenly it was very much possible to baptise me.....

Going on a family vacation and she texted me asking if I was bringing apple juice for my kids (18m and 3y at the time). I said no. And shes like “why, they don’t like it??” And I said no, they don’t drink it, we don’t offer them juice. Why?
And she replies “oh well we start our family vacations with shots of fireball. I was going to RINSE OUT mini fireball bottles and fill them with juice so they could feel included.”
Now look, my husband and I drink - we are not prudes. We have no problem having a beer or whatever in front of our kids. But my MIL wanted to basically teach my toddlers how to do shots and then got offended when I told her that’s not necessary 🙃.

she drives around the town She lives in but she has no license.
Told me after I had my daughter that I was a disappointment because she wanted a grandson.
got angry when my baby started crying at church for xmas mass so I took her outside to the car , she started yelling at me in the car that I had disrupted her church service and that I was incredibly rude for staying in the car and not going back in to the service when she settled down. Im an atheist and hated going to these services, but went anyway because it’s what she wanted. Well that year was the last time I went to church.

One guess who that person is every year. I'm an atheist so I don't mind missing church but it pisses me off to no end that the two of us are left behind every Christmas eve while the rest of the family is gone for hours. I've talked to my partner about this repeatedly and every year they promise not to leave us alone and every year their father bitches so much about how he's ruining Christmas that he ends up going. At this point I've refused to spend Christmas eve at the in-laws house. If we're going to end up alone I'd rather be at home.

Years ago we took in my younger SIL while my MIL was going through a divorce. She showed her true colors when she realized we were actually taking care of SIL emotionally and physically, got her grades up in school and you know, CARED, because that made her look like a bad parent (I mean... Yeah she is, I'm really skimping on the worst but she's unmedicated bipolar and a narcissist, draw the lines yourself) and was clearly a slight against her.
During all this she got a dog, and in the months after my SIL moved back in with her to a new apartment it became clear to her that she treated the dog with more respect than my SIL. Took the dog out all the time, forced my SIL to stay home from plans because she "didn't like leaving the dog in a crate" ever, but it was fine to force social isolation on her kid.
Eventually the entire family called her out on it and she stopped some of the favoritism.
In the middle of that we found a great school opportunity for my SIL that would require her to relocate to our town again, asked SIL if she would actually put in the effort and wanted it and she broke down crying that she wanted to move back in with us. So my husband approached MIL about it and at first she was down but then the next day she left my SIL on the side of the road screaming that she was a b***h for wanting us over her and then texting my husband that since she's the parent HER NEEDS come first. It's been a few years since then, some things have improved, some haven't, SIL turned out okay.
On to this week.
Her dog escaped and was missing for two days. Over those two days she put up post after post online about how the dog was her world and she loved it over anything else in her life and I mean REALLY laying it on thick. More than her kids, more than life itself
It's so validating and frustrating when she says the quiet parts out loud about how little she actually cares about her kids. The dog came back home and she's been spoiling it rotten but not before my SIL read all those posts and now feels like s**t.
God.

My mother did that: she showed up late for my wedding so she could make a grand entrance. I guess - I never knew why my mother did 1/2 the stuff she pulled. The wedding was more elaborate than it needed to be because I was the 3rd (and last) child. My sister eloped. My brother got married out in Wichita (we lived in Brooklyn, NY), so this was our mother's last chance. Her grand entrance was spoiled because she had divorced my dad, and our cousin, who was standing in for the best man who had been 'called up', wasn't available to walk her down the aisle. He was already 'in place'. That's how late she was. It was a nice wedding anyway.

Finally on Father's Day after a very theatrical performance from her about how I gatekeep info and me showing proof she's full of it, she admitted she deletes my texts immediately after reading because seeing my name in her phone fills her with rage (?!). She said this in front of everyone... shocked silence, eyes the size of saucers everywhere you looked. I would hope she will stop with her BS about my "information gate keeping" but nah. She loves being the center of attention. And I'm going to keep the receipts so I can discredit her every time.

Yeah good luck with that one. If it wasn't for me my ex never would have known when any of our nieces or nephews birthday parties were, the parents birthday or anniversary would be celebrated etc. Fast forward to his 2nd wife's daughters wedding. My son and DIL stopped here on their way to the beach. My son was told the wrong time, um no it's at this time and everybody is supposed to be there early in the morning to set up the tables and chairs. They didn't get an actual invitation in the mail, just told the date and wrong time. He called his Daddy and asked him about it... your wife told me this time... You call me to get the date and time of any family events When my son hung up I laughed so hard. My son knew it was a load of c**p. I knew when they were supposed to be there because of my other son, he had left that morning.

Sounds kind of like my mom who always complains that she doesn't get to have a relationship with my kids (we live in a different country) even though we call her once a week, see her at least once a year for a couple weeks at a time, and also pay to send my kids to stay with them on their request for a couple of weeks each summer. I don't think anything would truly satisfy her unless we lived in the exact same town (which she's hinted at in the past but absolutely is not a possibility or desire)

Not mine now but my ex mil lost her leg because she shot up wrong (got Gangrene) and had her leg removed and had to detox off subs and xanx while at the hospital, lost her mind when she left the hospital, stole an elderly woman's car after making her drive her everywhere all day and then got arrested. We call her the one legged bandit now even though she shot up in the other leg wrong and lost that one as well 🤣
Another good one I wrote years ago about my labor with her on this subreddit and how she made it difficult, broke into the room, and even started pressing on my belly to try and force the baby out faster, trying to smoke in the room while I was in the middle of delivery and even recorded my oldest birth and posted it on youtube, I had to take her to court to get the video removed and the photos she had of me labor deleted, she tried to argue with the judge but I had proof that she was showing strangers and putting me in dangerous situations.

Mines notorious for making things up to fit her narrative, regardless of how nonsensical she’s being.
Somehow we got in the topic of young grandmas (my mom and one of MILs sisters were teen moms and so became grandmas at a young age, late 30s/early 40s).
MIL apparently decided she liked the young grandma vibe and so announces that she also was a young grandma, she was only 42 when my oldest was born. I stared at her….. no… you were 52. NO. She was FOURTY TWO. She was VERY YOUNG. (Said in her typical, this is the story I’ve decided upon , I am the main character so stop ruining it, supporting character! tone of voice) I walked her through her birth year vs his, her current age vs his current age, the age DH was at his birth vs the age she was when DH was born (like, you weren’t 19 when DH was born and he wasn’t 15 when OS was born so…), DH and I didn’t even know each other when you were 42 and I was in middle school at that point, and she just would not let up. *MAYBE* she was 45, but absolutely she was NOT 52.
I just sat there laughing hysterically doing the math 16 different ways as steam poured out her ears and she just kept repeating “I don’t know what to tell you, I WAS a *VERY YOUNG* grandma!!” (ETA: no dementia just a complete lack of sense).

My MIL told a family member that we financially take advantage of her and mentally a**se her. The family member confronted me, so I set the record straight with them. Thankfully they know MIL is crazy and believed me. My husband confronted his mom. She blew up, cried, threatened to unalive herself because no one loves her, then she blew up at the family member for telling us, and cut off contact with them. Made herself the victim in the story, never apologized or showed any remorse. I was never close to her, but I limited my contact with her more since then. I’m civil with her if I have to see her at family events but will not give her any information about our personal lives. I won’t keep my husband from having a relationship with her, but I stopped encouraging/reminding him to call her or keep her updated on things. I don’t think he ever remembers to on his own so she never hears from us.

MIL was watching my daughter (age 5 or so) and decided to get her a haircut! We were trying to grow out her bangs, the rest of her hair was shoulder-length, and I guess MIL didn't like how it looked (who does? -- that in-between stage isn't easy), and proceded to give my daughter a pixie with even heavier, shorter bangs. I could. not. believe. it. When I went to pick my daughter up, my SIL was looking at me sideways, like is AndiAzalea going to blow up now? I was screaming inside, let me tell you.

Shortly after DH and I moved into our first place (in the same general area as most of my family), my JNM announced that she was getting tired of doing Thanksgiving. DH's favorite holiday is Thanksgiving, and - silly us - we immediately volunteered Our New Place.
No one attempted to discourage us. This is important.
We started making plans, even before Christmas - throughout the summer, we were trying recipes, making sure we'd have enough places for people to sit, inviting his family and some of our friends. We got a specialty honey to glaze the turkey with, found out about everyone's food allergies, and started collaborating with some friends of ours who also enjoy cooking.
October comes, and my mother's father has been moved into her house - still moderately active, but couldn't be left completely on his own. There's a family get-together for his 97th birthday, and DH is talking about some of the dishes we have planned and how his mother, grandmother and sister are all excited.
No one makes the slightest protest. My sisters are talking about bringing leftover containers.
I go into work the following Monday, and open my email.
I kid you not, there is a message asking me what I plan on bringing to the potluck Thanksgiving at Mom's place.
Y'all.
We have people making the trip from Boston to DC to have Thanksgiving with us. We are not rug-pulling them and porting them to someone else's place. Never mind the awkwardness of telling our friends not to come over.
From what I was told, our spread was better anyways. (Those leftover containers still made an appearance.).

My ex (we were engaged, broke up before marriage, thankfully) was told by his mother not to marry me because I earned more than him, and that would make me dominant, and I would become masculine and not get pregnant easily. My ex told me that I could work, but as soon as I got pregnant, I had to leave work and be a stay at home mom, and his mother would move in to make sure the baby was brought up properly. This was over 30 years ago now-he never did get married, so I don't think he found a woman who could cope with his mother.

MIL response: well, how is that going to work when LO starts kindergarten/daycare?
As if our kid is the first the world history to have food allergies and our daycare will be the first to take care a child with such allergies.
She also got offended when she of course touched LO right after eating food he is ALLERGIC to. Stated she has washed her hands, but that was before eating... I pointed that out, she said I was right. And instead of apologizing and getting up to wash her hands, she just ignored LO and glared at me for the rest of the gathering.

He decided to respond in arrogance (like his mom would) and decided after some crappy therapists, a lack of accountability or growth that he was all done and I'd never leave him. He only put in real work with an amazing therapist in the last 2 years but it was too little too late. Every new thing he learned was something I had said 2, 5, 10 years before. All I had was resentment. All the support and love I had for him is gone. We barely speak and he is still very much of the mind that I'm just emotional and "he just doesn't get my problem."

She would yell at my husband and repeatedly tell him he can’t tell me just to test that he would or wouldn’t. She told the family I stole him and was a**sing him, and she turned the last conversation about the time line of our adoption into a race between who could give them grandchildren first between us and BIL- who was jealous and bitter about us getting married before him. Oh also since my husband is now converting to Judaism, she has to repeatedly remind everyone he’s really an atheist so we got some light antisemitism to top it all off.
Bonus points: I got annoyed that I got sunburned once so FIL told me “I guess you’re just white anyway” I’m mixed race Jewish and Puerto Rican. He then said something about sunburns for the next year and a half every time he saw me.

When my LO was about 10 months old, MIL called DH several times to let him know she bought toys for LO to play with at her house. He thanked her every phone call. When we visited, she went on and on about buying toys for her house. All she had was a dollar store ball, and LO wasn’t interested in balls. Throughout the whole visit, MIL kept trying to get LO to play with the ball and telling her how lucky she was that MIL bought it for her and how MIL almost didn’t find that ball after looking all over the store for the perfect gift, and DH thanked her every time. When we left, she insisted that we take the ball home.
When LO was about 1 year, MIL bought her a puzzle more appropriate for a 2 or 3 year old (asymmetrical flowers with each petal carved out). LO wasn’t even doing simple shape puzzles yet. She kept trying to instruct LO across the room to put the pieces in the right place (which she had never yet done for even a simple shape) and then tried to put it in for her. MIL couldn’t even get the puzzle piece in the spot and she put the puzzle away unfinished in embarrassment.

On the up side, at least I don't have to deal with family reunions or random relations turning up unannounced.

My ex-MIL borrowed my ex's car and went to a bar. She came home in the middle of the night (of course) and somehow triggered the 4-way flashers and couldn't figure out how to turn them off. Cue 2+ hours of calls to the answering machine shrieking about how is a fvcking answering machine going to help her, in the middle of the night, when normal people are sleeping.

I guess I just want to brag a little! I was blessed with the most wonderful mother-in-law anyone could ask for! Too bad her son was no where close to as wonderful. Even after I divorced him, she and I remained great friends. When she died, I was heart broken. I had the worst mother in the world so maybe God saw fit to give me the best mother-in-law!
