The relationship with a mother-in-law can develop in an unpredictable way, where almost nobody can say whether you will get along with this woman or not. II\u2019m sure that every daughter-in-law has a couple of stories about her husband\u2019s mother, and reading them is sometimes more exciting than a novel.<\/p>\n
Story 1<\/p>\n
My mother-in-law is a very capricious woman: she lives in a 4-bedroom apartment and always complains that she is tired of cleaning. But when we suggest she sell the place and buy something smaller, she starts to get hysterical. She doesn\u2019t want to hire a cleaner either. \u201cI don\u2019t know this person!\u201d And she wants me to clean her place because I\u2019m not a stranger. My husband also began to pressure me, saying that I work remotely, and have a lot of free time, so I can help his mommy. I suggested my husband clean her place himself \u2013 he took offense, and my mother-in-law began to shout, \u201cHow dare you suggest this to my son!\u201d We lived normally before, she cleaned somehow, a robot vacuum cleaner helped, and now she wants a servant \u2013 me. \u00a9 Overheard at girls \/ VK<\/p>\n
Story 2<\/p>\n
My mother-in-law\u2019s birthday is a day earlier than mine. In the first year of marriage, my husband gave me a cool laptop for my birthday, and my mother got a 2-week trip to the Maldives, we were both delighted. The second year, my husband had an accident \u2013 he fell and had to spend the lion\u2019s share of his savings on a dentist. That year my mother-in-law got a trip to the Maldives again, but I only got a bouquet. He promised to give me a normal gift within a couple of months, so I was happy. But a month later, my husband brought me a treadmill. I told him that cardio exercise, especially running, was not my thing. My husband shrugged and started using the treadmill himself. Of course, we got into an argument. My hubby complained to my mother-in-law about me \u2013 and said I didn\u2019t know how to be grateful. But his mother got all the details of the quarrel out of him and drew the right conclusions. She came to visit us and expressed to her son that he should have originally switched gifts. After giving him a lecture, she left and my husband and I were left staring at each other dumbfounded. Then he admitted he was wrong and the conflict was over. And I am still in a pleasant shock from the position of my mother-in-law. \u00a9 Overheard from girls \/ VK<\/p>\n
Story 3<\/p>\n
When I was 7 months pregnant, I found out that my husband had an affair. I got so upset that ended up in hospital, and my husband packed his things and left for his mistress. So I am on IV, crying. And then my mother-in-law comes into the ward. She sits on the edge of the bed and says, \u201cLena, I never liked you, so our relationship is not good. But I think what my son did is disgusting. I\u2019m sorry I didn\u2019t raise him well. We may not be friends, but you\u2019re carrying my grandchild under your heart, and I\u2019m here for you.\u201d There were no particular sentiments: she brought me a nightie, slippers, a cup, home-cooked food, then met me when I was discharged. It was my mother-in-law who picked up my daughter and me from the maternity hospital (my parents are no longer alive). I live with my baby at her place \u2013 I can\u2019t afford to rent a flat like I used to. My mother-in-law helps me a lot with my daughter, and I am truly grateful to her for everything.<\/p>\n
Story 4<\/p>\n
My mother-in-law told my daughter that I was an evil witch who bewitched her daddy. And she will give Daddy money so that they could get away from me to another city. Thankfully, my daughter told me about it right away. My husband took the money from his mom, and then the three of us got away from this magical woman. We have been living in another city for a month now. \u00a9 Overheard from girls \/ VK<\/p>\n
Story 5<\/p>\n
My husband bought a plot of land, we foolishly allowed my in-laws to plant beds there along with our beds. As a result, 3 years in a row, under various pretexts, they spoiled my beds. I gave up this vegetable garden and left it to them. They sincerely don\u2019t understand why I did this, although I repeatedly explained. \u00a9 MUMMY Mum \/ Dzen<\/p>\n
Story 6<\/p>\n
My mother-in-law used to come early on Saturday. I got up 2-3 times, made breakfast, and entertained her. But once I just woke up her son and made him entertain his mom in the morning. He immediately forbade her to come on weekends. She began to arrange meetings in advance. As for the rest, she is a normal mother-in-law. \u00a9 Lyudmila Denisova \/ Dzen<\/p>\n
Story 7<\/p>\n
So, for the past couple of weeks, my mother-in-law has been saying she\u2019s gonna cut my son\u2019s hair. I clarified that she is not going to cut my son\u2019s hair because I have a specific haircut and that\u2019s what he wants. My son is 3 years old, and me and my husband both agree that we enjoy his haircut. When my son just came back on Sunday night after staying there for a couple of days, he had a buzz cut. I am extremely upset. \u00a9 Sweet_Radio_4361 \/ Reddit<\/p>\n
Story 8<\/p>\n
We\u2019ve been living with my husband\u2019s parents for a month now. And every day is like torture. His mum is always poking her nose into our lives, \u201cWhy are you up so late? What are you cooking for dinner?\u201d Every day something new! I try to explain to my husband that we can\u2019t live like this, and he says, \u201cIt\u2019s only temporary, be patient!\u201d How long can we put up with this? She thinks everything we do is wrong. And if something goes wrong, she\u2019s like, \u201cI told you!\u201d \u00a9 Caramel \/ VK<\/p>\n
Story 9<\/p>\n
My husband and I live abroad. Today my mother-in-law said on a video call, as if joking, \u201cTake your flat because the utilities are expensive.\u201d \u201cOur\u201d flat is the one that the mother-in-law decided to give us as a wedding present. Even though she already knew that we were going to live abroad right afterward. \u201cOur\u201d flat is the one for which my husband gave most of his money, and it would have been very useful to us in a foreign country. \u201cOur\u201d flat is the one that we can\u2019t even sell because our in-laws live there. And now they say that the utilities are too high. \u00a9 Overheard \/ Ideer<\/p>\n
