Is it normal to hate all your in laws? for the last two years anything they do or say gets on my nerves, they do all their little things and don't involve us, We have 2 sons but granny only wants one of them at her house, we have just had an exchange of words but rather than them phoning us mother in law sent a shitty message on facebook and we replied saying how unhappy we are that our sons are treated differently and brought up a number of different points but rather than holding her hands up and saying maybe she could have done better she has made excuses for every single thing, she said her mother would only ever have one child at her house at a time so she's doing the same (but she only has my eldest never the youngest)

    They really haven't been there for us for over two years (since my youngest was born) she came to see him when he was born at the hospital and gave a strange look and put him back in the cot, she would come round the house and "take my eldest off my hands" she said she was helping out but truth is it made things worse because my boys are great company for each other and she would never hold the baby said she didn't want to upset my other boy. Now 2 years down the line they house a house fire - the whole house didn't go up just the kitchen but I think there was smoke damage and she expected us to go running round there I am very sad for them that it has happened but they can't treat us like crap for 2 years then expect us to come running. She said shes pissed off that she hasn't seen her grandchildren its such a joke, people might think Im being hard but the way I look at it she has 2 grand children but she hasn't treated them the same at all.

      Hey girl! The road runs both ways and she can travel towards you just as easy as you can visit her. The same goes for the phone. Let her take it up with her son and you stay out of it. You have no obigation to visit / console this rotten bitch. You owe her nothing, she's not your mom!

      Whatever you do - do NOT let her see that she
      has succeeded in annoying or upsetting you and your happy home! The bitch is looking for your weakness so make sure you hide it.

      I do love sarcasm and they're too stupid to read it as such. So if you have to answer her on facebook, I'd say something like, you're really sorry about her kitchen fire and you didn't visit coz you knew she needed the time to sort out the mess without your two boys in the middle of it ;o) haha However, if she thinks she can cope you would be happy to drop them BOTH off as you really need to do some shopping for new clothes for YOURSELF! (Not her son!) Her blood will boil. What's she going to say to that?

      Play the bitch like a fiddle if you need to but personally I know from experience it's easier not to be curious about what she's even saying. You should ask your poor hubby not to mention her name to you. She's dying to get some attention, so I wouldn't satisfy her. She's probably also trying to cause friction between you and her son, so she can tell him she was right about you all along :o)

      I know it's hard. My son is 14 years old now, gets nothing from my mother in law but ... I had great satisfaction when she asked him about an essay he had to write about someone who inspires him. She said, "I suppose you wrote it about your mom?"
      Oh yes!
      He did!
      Read it and weep bitch!
      I win hands down!

      :o) :o) :o) :o) :o) :o) :o) :o) :o) :o) :o)

    OMG! If my inlaws hadn't died recently (this past April) I swear you had mine. They lived in Pebble Beach California. I've ranted about these people before on this site. Not only did their neighborhood not know they had grandkids, but when they died, noone knew they had a son and a daughter. They were shocked. You see, we were never good enough for them. She was more proud of the neighbor kid than my kids. Only because of they lived. Mind you now, my husband only saw his father and step mother twice a year growing up. And that continued until they died. And everything was left for the bitches niece. There is so much I could share with you. I feel for you. I cry for you.
    I thought I was over being this angry. I need therapy I think.

      Don't you just wonder how they can be so cruel to young children they're supposed to love? I had to move away so as to calm down coz for 4 years I lived in the next road to her. I had a DVT are really could've done with some help as I couldn't walk. I moved so that her only daughters would be stuck with her as she got older. That was 10 years ago and boy are they suffering her :o) I gave her the yes/no answers on the phone a few years ago so now she doesn't call my house :o) Yeeha!! I win!!

      Love life and my son! I'd see her in hell before I'd allow her to hurt him again!

    I have a mother in law just like this and I hate the bitch. no-one even knew she had a grandson coz she never took my child a walk and prefers girls. Don't inflict them on your children, let them grow old and ugly alone, without the pleasure of your little boys. You're flogging a dead horse here, but let your husband go to visit them - without you or your kids!

    Ignore them and get on with your own life. They are seriously not worth the hassle.

    That is horrible! It sounds like she favors one of the children and that is very damaging in the long run.
