Sometimes...

Quote From: scotmelw

yes you are right some can be. but i have the same problem with my  mil, she is such a mean lady never in my life have i met someone that is so hateful, i have always sent pic and videos and have called to let her know how we are doing. at first we got along good untill she started to try and get his ex around him and she wanted them to get back together she called and told my husband that the only reason he married me was b/c to take care of my mistake ( what is my oldest son) how sad is that, calling a inicoent child a mistake. and that is not at all true, i didn't need aman to take care of my son or I, for that matter, so just recantly i have stoped all contact with her i don't call i don't send pics, nothing afer 9 yrs of marriage i am so sick of all her bs, the letter she writes are just awful, at holidays she send only to her son not to any of his kids bioligicaly or not, (how sad is that) the iniconent kids are seeing this, i finally gave up on her b/c she twists everything, i had started keeping letters she sends so others see this and if i had sent anything i make a copy, (cards letters ect) so anyways i fell bad for my hubby so that is why i don't talk to her anymore, now she can't have anything to lie about anymore.  i fell bad for you if you are a great mil, and want to be there for ur son and his wife, but some mil just want there sons all to there self and pick there mates and you can't do that. my hubby  has a very stressfull job and i don;t think he needs all this bs that she brings all the time, he barely calls home since she complains all the time about everything and tells him how much she would like him to be with so and so. my parents are so good to him and treat him as if he was one of there own kids, so i just wish we would have a better relationship. he doesn't know what to do about this but i am just sick of it.
I honestly believe that some women just can't accept that thier sons need a women other than them in thier lives. I personally know of 2 women who liked the girlfriends until they became the wives.( You just have to take my word for it. Nothing changed on the part of the DILS.) With my sister-in-law she liked the first wife when she was the girlfriend. She hated her guts when they got married. They were married for 10 years,had 2 kids. Somehow the DIL got along with my SIL. Then the son left his wife for another woman. My SIL IMMEDIATELY started liking her ex DIL. She kind of liked the new girlfriend. When her son married the 2nd time, she IMMEDIATELY hated the new wife. She says a lot of things behind thier backs so they don't know a lot of the way she feels. They basically go on with thier life and just try to get along with her. They don't let her control how they live thier lives. I do know that with the first wife, my SIL bought her son 400.00 worth of stuff one Christmas and got her DIL a sweater. I know there are a lot of good women out there who are accepting of DILS, but I'm tellin' ya, there are some women who can never accept that thier son has a wife who is going to come first in his life. I guess it's just a twist of human nature. I'll tell ya something kinda silly. When my son was born, I looked at him and said jokingly, "I'm just raisin' him for some old woman." But really that's what we are doing as mothers. I'm not a MIL yet, but I am gearing up to try to be a GOOD one.
