I hate being treated like a moron

You'd think after showing everyone I can clean and cook and take care of myself and a baby basically on my own for two years would be enough to give me SOME credit but apparently not.

My boyfriend's mother thinks she's the authority on everything even though she's a jobless slob who has no reason to be here. Don't fucking tell me to clean, I clean up after you all the time. The whole house would look so much worse if I didn't sweep every day and do the dishes.

I'm not her child, she has no right to be looking down her nose at me like she's watched me grow up all my life failing at everything. She has yet to learn everything about me. I just wish I could tell her off without her getting all offended and bitchy. God forbid I defend myself when she's basically telling me I'm no better than a child. I'm almost twenty-fucking-one. Give me a goddamn break.

Mostly I try to ignore her because I know she's an idiot and I'm confident in my abilities. I just want so badly to put her in her place for once.

 

Sounds like a typical mother-in-law. How often do you have to see her?

 

You live there, don't you? Maybe she resents that.

 

Oh, that has to suck, beyond words. :ack2: I don't think I could do that.

 

Don't I know the feeling. And exactly the same situation as you too!

I had my baby at 18. I live alone with my toddler, have brought her up alone, cook and clean everyday, own my own car and do temporary work when its available and my daughters nan (my ex mother in law) STILL calls me up every single freaking minute asking stupid questions, it always ends in rows because 'she brought up 3 kids alone so she knows everything'.


Keep your head high!! You know your doing a good job!

don't worry about it, man. probli one of these women who, even if you're essentially a domestic jesus, you'll never be good enough for their son.

livin' with 'er must suck though.

 

The dreaded mother-in-law. Thankfully I lost my when I left my husband. His whole family were assholes. And she was bat-shit crazy on top of it. Ignore it, and be confident. She is probably just one of those people who feels better by putting other people down. I have no use for douchetards like that.

 

Yeah..it's not that she doesn't like me for her son, she loves that I'm with him. However, she doesn't like that he isn't a momma's boy. He likes that I'm a neat person (she loves to think she is, but she's NOT), he thinks I cook better than her, he's nicer to me than her (mostly because she's been plaguing him with her alcoholism for half his life and he just doesn't want to deal with her) and that bothers her.

However, she is extremely condescending. She thinks she's giving me good advice but she has ZERO common sense and she is in no position to be telling me how to live.

She's been mooching off her family for yeaaarrrrss and can't hold a job or a place of her own. She thinks she's an amazing cook when she throws pasta in a pot and goes to sit down and play at the computer, then tells me it's al dente. You don't get al dente pasta by not watching it closely! I grew up in an Italian household, I know my way around a good pasta dish.

Ugh...I'm just rambling now. I wish I could list to her all the reasons why she doesn't need to mother me, but she will anyway because she's God's gift to me apparently. To answer the question above, she lives with us for now because she got out of rehab and had nowhere to go. If any of you remember, my sister is an addict too. Can't get away from 'em. But we're supposed to be moving out of here soon and she's not coming with us. Hopefully then our lives will start to change.

 

Do a better job keeping the house clean

 

^This gives me an idea!

Do you have anyone who could come over and act like a maid once or twice a week (for cheap)? You could still do most of the work, but act like you can afford a real maid.

That should make your mom-in-law super jealous!

 

Can't I just punch her in the face?

 

It sounds a little like 'Everybody loves Raymond'. Funny show. Probably not so much fun in real life.

 

At least Marie actually is better at cooking and cleaning. This woman deludes herself.

 

This...:2thumbsup:



Cheers Glen.

 

There's always that. But wear a mask or something so she can't ID you.
:mickey:

 

Shit in her pillowcase

 

That's why I said similar not the same.

"I just want so badly to put her in her place for once." -

Is it possible with out causing more grief? What does your boyfriend have to say about it? Does she seem like it's her natural way of being with everybody, or is it just you?

 

buy her a bottle and a vibrator and tell her to go fuck herself and have a good time..

 

I know the type. People like that never change, unless they get worse.

That's the only way to get your life back.
