50 Times People Were Shocked By What Unhinged Things Their MIL Just Said To Them
As Dr. Judith Joseph, a board-certified psychiatrist and researcher, shared on Luke Coutinho's podcast, she sees the mother-in-law syndrome in clients not just from the United States, but also from Latin America, the Middle East, Europe, and Africa. Across cultures, the root cause is often the same—blurred boundaries, generational trauma, and unspoken expectations around control, respect, and hierarchy.
To get a better understanding of what this looks like in everyday life, Reddit user Magnoliabluebell_ asked everyone on the platform to share the most unhinged things their MILs have ever said. The replies they’ve received show that while the details may change from one family or culture to another, the emotional weather pattern is eerily familiar.

My first baby was a super preemie, 26 weeks. NICU for 116 days. Murphy’s law baby the entire stay. MIL called me one morning and said “stop going to the hospital! If you stop going, my son will stop going because he shouldn’t have to go through this with THAT baby!”
I cussed her so bad she showed up at NICU waiting area with food for us. I dumped it in the trash in front of her and walked away. DH told her to go home. Thirty two years later we are still VLC.

It has to be the time when she told us that she *will* be raising our baby and if I'm a good little girl, she may see her way into letting us visit
We were firmly in our 40s, this was going to be our one and only after 20 years and the baby was so very much wanted by my husband and I. There was no way on this green earth I was just going to blindly pass off my baby for someone else to raise.

Me in my early 40’s trying for a second child In the midst of my 8th failed IVF egg collection & two failed pregnancies, she tells me “having an only child is the cruelest thing a mother could do”.

My MIL was massively Bipolar and had separation anxiety. I acted as her caretaker off and on for over 8yrs. When my ex left me for another woman I began making arrangements to move back to my home state as the only people I knew in that state were my ex's family and his then best friend. I warned my FIL ahead of time so we could deal with her issues beforehand.
My MIL ended up finding out that I was leaving and broke my arm by throwing a chair at me. My ex's now former best friend helped me move out that same day. As we were taking out the last of my belongings she threatened to hurt herself with a pair of scissors. My FIL encouraged me to leave and told me that he'd take care of things. Both my MIL and FIL ended up having to go to the E.R. after she hurt herself and my FIL. Despite being blocked on everything and living over 3000 miles away she kept attempting to contact me for the next 2yrs. I still have nightmares about that woman.

She told me I was a terrible hostess when they visited and we didn’t take them out to make the most of their time. For context, we were stationed in Germany at the time, and her and my FIL bought tickets against our request to meet our newborn. They landed in country the day we were discharged from the hospital so my husband had to drop us off at home to drive 2 hours to pick them up from the airport.

Having worked in care I’ve a few stories. One of my favourite ones about a mishap with walking frame (sadly I wasn’t a witness) was a resident of a care home chatting with a careworker in the corridor. The resident got very animated with their story, and somehow, while gesturing, managed to lift the walker right in the air and pin the careworker against the wall. Then the two of them were stuck, because the resident couldn’t take their weight off of the walker and the careworker couldn’t slide out because the spaces between the bars and the feet were two slim.

My favorite was when MIL told me she won't be babysitting my child. I was pregnant at the time. She stated she was working full time and enjoyed her time off. This was while she was watching SIL's daughter, which she did for 5 hours every week while SIL & hubby went to dinner and bowling.
We made sure we never needed her to babysit, and she begged a few years later to take our kids overnight. The kids were old enough to say it wasn't fun spending the night there, so they never did again.
When our kids were teens, I was going with hubby on a work trip, so she did stay at our home to make sure the kids were fine. She was pissed I had the meals all planned out and they just needed to pull something out of the freezer and pop in the micro. She went ahead, bought and made the kids dinner one night and the kids suffered through her cooking.
She is probably turning in her grave that hubby and I have been married for 41 years now and still haven't had our marriage blessed by a Priest.

That’s someone that has NO idea how breåst milk works. The whole point is that if food cannot be found instead of the baby dying (as with, for example, baby birds) the mother’s body can continue to support the baby until things look up again. Her body weight has nothing to do with anything.

Whenever our families would meet and I wore makeup she’d say “oh you did your makeup? I’m barefaced today (slaps her own face) I’m too busy I don’t have time to wear makeup…you look nice though…” she’d repeat this until I or DH will acknowledge the comment.
I’ve always had my nails done with my natural nail length and just gel on top or dip powder and MIL went once to an apprentice to get hers done because it was cheaper. She went for acrylic to make them longer too. They didn’t last long on her and she commented “your nails always look lovely, mine didn’t last very long…I guess I work too hard and they just fell off”
When DH and I got engaged she’d repeatedly say how he wanted to marry her when he was a child and how his sister wants a man just like him and won’t settle for less.
During my maternity leave with my second child she’d have the habit of showing up unannounced and have coffee to “catch up”. Bare in mind I was recovering from a c section that had ripped open and infected because I pushed myself too hard and didn’t let my body heal properly. Well one of those times she came in with an Apple Watch and I was complementing her on it. She then said “oh I’ve taken 17000 steps today, I work so hard. I wonder how many steps you’re taking lately…”

I had just injured my shoulder and was facing potential need for surgery (we were waiting to find out). I also happened to be in between jobs. I was lightly searching for jobs, but being unable to move my arm, I wasn’t exactly too focused on finding a job, I was more focused on what I was going to do if I ended up needing serious surgery (in which case I wouldn’t be able to work a job anyways).
She comes over and asks how my job search is going, and just seemed pushy about the idea of me making sure I got a job. I asked her “don’t you understand why I might not be prioritizing a job right now? I might be needing a very serious surgery soon.” She literally says to me “well I guess it’s just a matter of how we grew up. I grew up on a farm where we just worked through our injuries.”.

Plenty of ignorant "trained" teachers and other professionals. PLENTY. Passing a course and reciting knowledge learned by rote without any actual understanding does not make one "educated" or "intelligent". Someone is ALWAYS "the bottom of the class", and statistically speaking it's impossible for every individual class to have an even distribution that matches the average for the sample subset. Some will be average, some will have more high-performers than usual, and some will have more low-performers than usual. Regardless, there are a lot of people out there that have learned the skills to fake it through school, but not how to actually "make it" afterwards by actually *learning* and exercising critical thinking skills. There's a *lot* of ersatz "educated" people out there who are really quite ignorant.

My MIL wrapped her fingers around my oldest daughter’s wrist then says, ( to her oldest granddaughter) “you have big wrists! You must have inherited your mother’s peasant genes.” She did this in front of me. My daughter was 6. As if she gerself is descended for royalty. Her mother was a seamstress and her father was a stevedore.

She told me if I thought more with my brain and less with my belly I would be thin by now… I had just opened my first business also and that’s what she was worried about… she also gifted me with diet pills…. Mind you post partum I was a size 6….

When I found out I was pregnant, I begged God to let my child be a boy. I had two reasons, and this was the first. As a child who had been trafficked, I was so overwhelmed with fear if my child would have been a girl. The second reason was a bit more practical; I was attending a Christian college that required students to attend chapel services multiple times a week. I thought it would be easier to dress a boy (cute suit) for this than a girl (frilly dress, socks, mini hair bow, etc). Of course, once my son was born we never returned to that college, so that second point was moot. Regardless, I am still incredibly thankful that he is a boy because the fear of raising a daughter is paralyzing to me.

Boys can be trafficked, too. Unfortunately, no kid is out of reach for paedophiles.

My MIL is a very strange individual. She doesn't think before she says anything. On numerous occasions she's called me fat but here are a few that seriously take the cake lol. She's said a ton of unhinged things to me but for me these are the two most memorable.
1) my husband took my last name as he has no ties to his father and his mother knows this. When naming our Son we chose to name him after my grandfather and to give him My (and now also my husbands) last name. When we told MIL the name of our baby her immediate response to my husband was "Oh, so nothing to tie him to you? That's sad."
2) When i was only 5 months postpartum I got pregnant again. Yes i know thats very very early but we are happy. I'm now 31 weeks with twins so that means we are having 3 under 2. When we told MIL she immediately told me "You need to get fixed." ..... FIXED!!???!?!

There are people like that. Im not sure if it dysmorphia or something else. Most people tend to see themselves as larger than they actually are, but some tend to think they are slimmer. I know someone who is at least a size L or XL but who will force her way into size S clothes (those which are very stretchy) then she will proudly say that she is the same size she was since she is 15. I sized up after giving birth from a size S to M and prefer fit rather than sizing when it comes to clothes. So sometimes I can also buy size a size up or a size down for a better fit but in measurements I am a size M while she is an L to XL. But she would always refer to me as her fatter friend. And there was that time where we had to measure our weight and it was clear that hers was higher than mine. But she would just say that the scale was not working properly or that its her clothes weight, or that she is bloated so she weighs more (that was a considerable difference, not 1-2kgs).
#37
I can't remember them all, but here are some
1. Looked right at me before looking at her son and saying in the most cringe, disgusting way possible, "That's my baaabyyy," referring to our daughter. I half laughted, half puked in my mouth to myself. Looking back, I should have laughed out loud at the ridiculousness of it.
She's always wanted a fourth child but couldn't because her and her husband couldn't financially, so she's jealous and wants a do over as well.
2. After coming back from a stay cation, she said, "But it's not like you missed your daughter, I mean, you didn't miss her, did you?"
She wants to play mommy so badly!
3. (In the same day) "I wish I could raise her and then give her back when she's pre-teen because that's a nightmare age and I don't want to deal with that"
She loves my daughter so much!

Sorry to disagree. She doesn't love your daughter at all. She loves the idea of being a *mother*, knowing d**n well she can "return the product" the moment she gets bored of it. If she really loved your daughter she would respect you and be the loving granny, without being passive-aggressive. I don't think you should let your daughter stay with her unsupervised.

Exactly. My wife's grandmother was born well before the baby boom generation (her grandchildren are baby boomers), and I have two examples of her being a POS. 1.

(I think we can all agree that her doctor did NOT tell her that. 2. One year she gave both her son-in-laws Grecian Formula for Christmas.

2) While I was pregnant: "I will not babysit for you. I will only babysit when you are there, too."
(Ummmm... that's... *not babysitting*. Then, cut to 6 months later, her crying on my couch because my FIL and SMIL got to babysit all the time, and she never did.)

Got married 1.5 years back and gained weight (about 20 lb) due to various factors like change in lifestyle, stresses of life, etc. We were at our husband’s family’s annual Christmas get together. Due to a confusion, a relative assumed the weight gain to be due to pregnancy (an easy mistake), mentioned it to a few other people in conversations, and was later corrected that there was no pregnancy. A while later, me and my husband were playfully discussing a movie were were planning on going for, I said I’ll have cheese popcorn there, and he said “No, We’re not having popcorn”. MIL is sitting there with us and she comments, “He’s right. Everyone thought you were pregnant here. It was so embarrassing, we had to correct them. You husband was so embarrassed by this.” All this, right in the middle of a party. Had it not been hosted by someone very close to us, I would’ve walked out.
