Oh she's like this with everyone. She doesn't feel quite comfortable bitching at me yet, so she bitches at him but I know it's meant for me because she knows damn well I do the cleaning for the most part. That makes it almost more annoying. To her, no one does anything as good as she does. My boyfriend hates it because it makes me feel like crap even though he's so grateful for me making an effort to live in a clean environment (he kind of gave up because he's been living with this forever and he doesn't have the energy to bother with it anymore, and I don't even blame him). I would tell her off if I thought it would make a difference. She's the kind of person who'll retort with something that makes no sense but somehow you can't win the argument.
I see. Some woman at work is similar. I took her negative comments to heart. When I realised it wasn't just directed at me I kinda ignored her, and didn't let her comments get me down. I appreciate it's difficult with family. How about if you pre-emptied her comments by saying: Is this tidy enough for you? Make her aware that you know she is likely to say something. I don't know - It's difficult : / ...I'm thinking about violence myself now.

Be sure to wrap the bat in a pillow case so it doesn't make bruises... Or better yet learn from this woman and vow to never become that.

DAMMIT GLEN! There are kids in inner cities that could use that baseball bat for their struggling little league teams! These kids are using baseball bats from 1965 GLEN... 19 fucking 65. and you want this this woman to bludgeon someone and have that bat sit in some evidence locker for years to come? Do you? I guess you want these inner city kids to take up drugs instead of learning about teamwork.
I Think It's Worth Sacrificing One Bat For The Sheer Pleasure Of Batting The Batty Old Bat To Kingdom Come.... Cheers Glen.
Every time she complains I just tune her out while I think of devious things I can do to her. One time when she was drunk all day, we collected snails and put them on her bed letting her think they got there themselves. It was pretty funny. Immature, yes, but funny. And also a good way to not resort to violence or yelling. That's exactly what she does, except she doesn't do it sneakily like a lawyer would. She's just that stupid. And don't tempt me.
I had enough problems with my own family, I don't want to be held back from happiness by someone else's mother too. I'm sick of the bullshit. Plus, my boyfriend is too wonderful of a person to have to keep dealing with her mooching self.
The snails were my idea. But sometimes the people who suffered in their lives the most are the ones who are the kindest people. He's really the sweetest person I've ever met and he treats me so well. He uses his mother as an example to never use drugs or alcohol as a crutch. He likes a beer every once in a while, and he doesn't even like taking Advil for headaches because he doesn't want to rely on it. It's surprising how different they are. Now all I have to do is not become my mother.
I feel your pain , but on a different level. My mother in law is great she is a really good woman loving and thoughtful. My mother is the monster!! She always has been it is ridiculous the way she thinks & acts! I love her because she is my mother, but sometimes just looking at her makes me mad. I know this must sound horrible to some of you , but I am being honest. My husband is the one who got the bad in laws. I have tried talking to her , but it does no good it is like talking to a brick wall & I just sound like a broken record. We don't even have children. So yes girl I can relate to ya
You relate more than you know. I hate his mother, and my mother is also a nightmare. The way my mother was treating me is what sped up the process of me moving in with my boyfriend. So we both get crappy in-laws. Yaay.
That's true. I guess most people have a realisation/revelation at some point in their lives - consciously or sub-consciously - and that determines who they end up being. I'm glad he treats you well
So, the non mummys boys that cant stand up to his mommy, even for his girlfriend? All a waste of time, a couple years time those ovaries will kick in and you'll dump him Boy, those two quotes sound so gay. You've got it the wrong way around with your mother in law cos you are still thinking its about you. Not exactly about you, this paranoid and threatened already before there is any hint of kids, means only one thing, she knows what you are gong to turn into. When that first little man arrives on the scene you are not going to let her, your mother or sister anywhere fucking near him.....she is going to get sooooooo dumped. Thats why she's like that. That would be if you did it with him. He was the right guy at 19 to be all sickly sweet and lovey dovey. But you are not your mum or your mother in law or your sister, not saying that to score brownie points or just to be a dick, just expressing my instincts. You just dont sound like one of those chics Your uterus is Xena Warrior Princess and your ovaries are her little vegetarian sidekicks, she'll take over soon. And I'll put good money on it being for a guy that actually has hair on his testicles and can stand up to his mommmmmy. And maybe your mother in law has already realised this, either she's going to get dumped or both her and her son are going to get dumped
Sometimes I wonder what gorilla man has been through in life to give him his uh, unique point of view
