spoiled the shit out of her son (my husband) and now I have a 32 year old brat to deal with.

Besides that, she is like a mom to me and is always spoiling me with gifts, money, attention...she is truly a sweetie!

Ha ha, me too!

Are you serious???? Grow up.

Told me DH and I weren't really married because we didn't have a Catholic wedding.

Or made excuses of why she couldn't meet DC1 until she was 15 months old.

(Yes, I'm the IL's and religion poster)

I had a pug that I brought to my immigrant (now husband) boyfriend's house. His grandmother suggested stew! But I knew she was joking and did not take it personally (also did not leave my pug there alone overnight!).

Said she wasn't coming to the wedding if I didn't sign a prenup.

The Kleenex is a bit gross, but maybe she sincerely thought you might like the purse? Either way, if this is the "worst" thing your MIL has done, you are either very very fortunate, or have extremely unrealistic standards/high maintenance.

No, the worst thing was to not give me the "sign of peace" at our wedding Mass. Just flat out refused.

After the wedding, she sent all her relatives a seriously unflattering picture of me with my mouth open about to take a bite of food (see too fat comment above) to introduce me to the relatives (because none of them have anything to do with her, so none came to the wedding). She also told everyone I was an alcoholic (I don't even drink & neither do they) and all of my Christmas and birthday gifts from their family for years were alcohol related.

What an absolute FREAK, PP. Sorry that you have to deal with her. I have to say though, it made me laugh out loud that her family gives you alcohol every year and they think you're an alcoholic?? Who DOES that???

My MIL was babysitting my kids. When I got them I mentioned that the 4 year old had been a bit clingy lately, she said, "well what do you expect, she's insecure".

She insists baby is insecure because I divorced her lying sack of sh*t son.

the NERVE to not consider your birthday when she was figuring out when to honor her newly dead husband! i can't imagine how your birthday could have slipped her mind. if that's the worst thing she's ever done, you should consider yourself pretty lucky. get over your f*)(& self

signed, someone who just eulogized her great and wonderful dad on his birthday, four days before christmas.

Loving all the funny stories too! Thankfully my MIL doesn't do anything too terrible. My mother on the other hand...drives me completely nuts and is the definition of a narcissist.

OK, my MIL is a self-absorbed witch from hell, but I am SO enjoying these stories!!! Hang tough ladies!! Mine fears me now because I don't put up with her crap for one second.

The worst thing she did to me/us was invite my DH's ex-wife to spend the holidays with them at her beach house every year. She was never close to her ex-DIL until DH and I got married. In fact, DH told me that when they were married, ex-wife always felt sad about not having a close relationship with his parents. Anyway, this slap in the face guarantees that neither DH or I will attend the hoidays with the rest of his family. When DH confronted his mother about how this made him feel uncomfrotable and was in the very least inappropriate, her response was "It's my house and I can do whatever I want. I don't care about you and your problems and all of your wives." Yes, I am your son's 2nd wife. We have been together for almost 11 years. But no, I am not part of a harem. We rarely talk to this woman and every few months she reaches out with gifts and other crap and has NO CLUE why we won't visit her or have a relationship with her. She is a passive agressive, very strange lady that I will never understand.
