At our wedding, the pastor said “if anyone has any objections to this wedding... too late, keep it to yourself.” I appreciate the wisdom in that, and it was funny.
That is an excellent approach for a wedding in modern times. Back in the Middle Ages, church leaders were very concerned that the bride and/or groom might actually already be married to someone else. So, like many things, the question about anyone knowing of a reason why the couple cannot lawfully wed is something that made sense a long time ago but doesn't really make sense today.
My in-laws were intense crazy-makers, So when we met with our priest, we nervously asked about that. He laughed and said, "We are Catholic! People get the whole year of your formal engagement to approach you privately about any concerns. We don't ask that, because by the last minute of the actual wedding, it is way too late!" He also explained that no one would be asked "who gives this woman?" About me because "you are a grown woman making her own decisions, and if you weren't, this marriage would not be valid" Instead, bride and groom are each asked if they have come of their own free will to be married. There wasn't an inch of room for drama in the ceremony, though we do have a photo of my MIL hucking rice at us in a terrifying way as we exited the church, lol
The officiant at my sister’s wedding rehearsal was dead serious that no one object. He then went on to explain that the town has an obscure law that states if anyone objects to the marriage the officiant must take them to a ‘crying room’ where they determines if the objection has merit. Then entire ceremony stops for this, for however long it takes. What a bizarre law lol
My best friend from high school was the officiator at my wedding. He asked if anyone objected and when no one answered, he said, "Good. Otherwise I was going to ask you to meet me outside." 😆
Don't have a MIL, but legit saw one go ballistic on her son when he proposed to his fiance because she didn't like her, for whatever reason. But the cherry on top is when the son said "You came back into my life almost a year ago, after you left Dad, my sister, and me after I was born. What audacity do you have to say what I can do with my life?"
My hubby and I were married at the courthouse, and while waiting for the little ceremony to begin, my MIL and FIL (who are divorced) took bets on how long we'd be married. I had just found out I was pregnant with their first grandchild (hubby is an only child), and my MIL said as soon as the kid was born and I could prove it was her son's I'd leave and live off child support and my FIL said it wouldn't even be that long. We've been married twenty years and are still going strong. Apparently because I grew up in a trailer I wasn't good enough for their son. Psycho in laws for sure.
Oh My God, that’s so horrible that they judged you for that instead of actually getting to know you and maybe seeing you through their sons eyes. I’m glad your love is still going strong…..and bonus you proved them wrong 😊
I don’t have a MIL story, but I’ll never forget how my mom decided I couldn’t go to my big sister’s wedding when I was in Highschool not because it was a school day but because I’m goth and she thought the dark colors I was wearing was inappropriate. Luckily the courthouse was really close by my school so when I got to school I immediately ditched my backpack and ran to the courthouse to spite my mom and to enjoy the wedding anyway. That’s my big sister, man. We were and are besties
Wearing black is indeed a bad luck move. Wearing dark red means you slept with the groom. You could've worn dark purple tho and still kept that aesthetic. That's on your mom honestly. Uncool.
My friend's parents in law wanted to "test" her before the wedding. Their plan was to show up unannounced to her house and check how well she decorates and cleans her home, as well as how well she "serves" her guests. On the night they arrived, the parents had allegedly waited for my friend to come out for like 2 hours. Turns out my friend was out with someone else to get dinner and that's why she wasn't getting the door. The friend she was with gave her a ride home. When they got to my friend's street, they could see two people banging on the door to her house; my friend couldn't identify neither the people nor any of the cars nearby so she called the police.
@@nela3986 As a woman who lives by herself. If I see people I don't recognize banging on my door acting weird. I am calling the cops first asking questions later. As far as she knew they were burglars seeing if anyone was home or worse. But I watch a lot of true crime so that just might be where my brain goes.
My MIL got angry with me for going into labor while she was out of town. When it came time to push, we had to unplug the phone in the delivery room because she kept calling every 5 minutes. She also got upset with me because I had daughters instead of sons. She was a real peach.
HAHA! It's her son's sperm that ultimately decides the sex, so it's really his fault. If you want to try crazy MIL logic, you could add that it's therefore really _her_ fault, because she gave birth to him, in the first place.
My MIL passed away, very unexpectedly, in December, two weeks after my husband’s and my 20th wedding anniversary. But totally won the the MIL lottery. My in-laws own a gorgeous home on 42 acres just outside of the KC suburb we lived in. My hubby and I decided to buy 10 of their acres and build a home. We have two daughters-their only grandchildren-and she never just showed up at our house unexpectedly, and our house was literally in her back yard. She always made it a point to tell us how proud she was of my husband and I for being “fantastic parents.” She always included me in “girls days” with my hubby’s older sisters. I truly loved her, the only thing about her that saddens me is that my daughters won’t get to grow up knowing her.
I'm not married, but my sister has a very interesting MIL. She's competitive to an absurd degree. When my sister gave birth to her oldest child, my parents and I were the first of the family to see them in the hospital. We didn't know this at the time we were just excited to meet baby girl and be with family. The in laws came around a while later, and MIL looked at us and just froze for a second, then forced a smile and said, "Hi... I didn't know you guys were here too." She pointedly ignored us the rest of the time we were there. Several days later, my sister told us her suspicions that she was upset at not being there first. MIL has been cold to our family ever since. The real kicker? My sister sent a text to her and my mom AT THE SAME TIME. They just couldn't come right away because they were busy. But obviously, that's OUR fault. 😒
10 yrs ago, my MIL came late to our small, outdoor wedding. We had 7 kids under 8yrs in our new blended fam, one was our preemie infant named after her. (No gift, no visit to the NICU) She brought grapes to the small 'reception' at our house. When she left early, she took with her the grapes that hadn't been eaten. She's getting married soon. I'm thinking of sending a platter of grapes in my stead.
I told my fiancé about the moms wearing wedding dresses to weddings that aren’t theirs, to which he replied, “that sounds like something my mom will do” WILL DO. Not even might do.
@@peajay3557 depends on how the fiancé deals with his mom. If he lets her walk all over his soon-to-be-wife, yeah, run, but if he stands up to her and establishes boundaries, it’s not his fault his mom is like that. I agree, though, Rhema should keep an eye on if her fiancé will let his mom run their lives when they’re married or not.
🤣 this one I heard from a friend long ago and it was in my country. Some jokes you can't literal translate because some words get lost in translation. This one's in universal language 🤣
I find it funny because I love bad jokes. But if you're literal, it's quite sad. If she's an angel, it means she was a good person. Most of the MIL in this video might be going the other way.
I had such a Monster-in-law. One short story: I had an 18 kt gold bracelet. It was super sentimental, a gift from a good college friend (I had given him a 14 kt gold ring with a pearl I found in the wild in return). It was HEAVY and worth quite a lot of money. My MIL stole it. She finally confessed, telling me that since her son had borrowed $10000 and not paid her back yet, that it was collateral. She literally walked into my room and stole it, locked it up and I never saw it again until she died. Years later. THEN my lovely SIL, who had all the jewelry, didn't want to accept it was mine, not her mother's, bracelet. What a nightmare.
@@anneldest I was finally able to convince my SIL it was mine, by asking if she was going to get the 5 carat diamond ring she was hiding appraised for the estate. Heh.
I was one of the Groomsman of my friend's wedding. We were already dressed up when the soon to be MIL came to talk to my friend. I overhear her say "if you had daughter named her after me, but if she looks ugly change her name immediately." We were shock when we hear it. Of course he tell his wife after the wedding and decided to do a petty revenge on her mother once they have a daughter. They did have a daughter and she grew up to be a beautiful and smart child and they name their daughter after the name of her father-in-law second wife. My friend's MIL was so pissed at them.
When I married, I had to move a long distance before the wedding, so stayed with my MIL for the few days before the wedding. I had brought my wedding dress with me (a simple one as this was a second wedding). The dress needed pressing once it came out of the suitcase so MIL showed me where the ironing board was. I set it up and plugged in the iron, when she came in and told me the iron I had was no good, I should use a different one she gave me. The minute that iron touched my dress it spurted out a huge mess of dirty rusty brown water. Showed the mess to fiance, who couldn’t figure out out how I had managed to get my hands on that old iron that should have been thrown out ages ago when there was perfectly good new iron in the cupboard. I had the last laugh, though. My lovely, simple, elegant dress was also washable and I got the stain right out. Also, fiance saw his mother’s true colours, something he never forgot.
My hubband and I eloped and didn’t invite anyone to our “paper signing”. I asked him multiple times if he wanted his family involved and he said no every time. We signed papers in a fast food restaurant, had his friend’s wife who is a notary make them official, then took photos in a park. When we got home, we posted the photos we took on social media. Not even 5 minutes after posting my MIL calls us and screams at us over the phone for half an hour, we couldn’t even get a word in. Cried about how he’s the first one to get married, and how it was disrespectful to not invite her, etc. I explained to her that I tried to convince him to let her be involved and he said no. My MIL holds it against us TO THIS DAY… 2 years later! We are now expecting our first child very soon and she got very upset with me that I posted my pregnancy announcement before telling her. Then got upset that I wouldn’t tell her the sex of the baby, now she’s upset because I won’t tell her the baby’s name. She then proceeded to complain about how her son “won’t let her be a grandma” and that he “hates her” and tells me to “convince him”. What she doesn’t understand is that before I even met his maternal side, he warned me about their terrible behavior and then I gave them the benefit of the doubt… I have made up my mind and I don’t want them anywhere near my child… and somehow that makes my husband a “cruel, unappreciative, ungrateful son”… My MIL would also get drunk at lunch with me once a week and shit talk her own son while he was off at basic training…
I almost spit my coffee on the dihydrogen monoxide one. Got a stainless steel water bottle for the BIL last Christmas that had all kinds of warnings about the substance, including the fact that, if inhaled in quantity, would prove fatal.
As of 2021, the couple who had the Mother/Mother-In-Law interrupt their wedding ceremony are still married and have a kid. Friends said the mother/MIL only paid $100 for alterations on the dress, not 'for' the dress. The woman seen confronting Judy, is the brides mother telling her it's not 'her day.' The groom did say to his mom, "you can leave." There is a second part where the MIL waited for them to start taking photos outside the venue and started trash talking again. The brides sister said the MIL has always hated the bride, she's just one who feels she's taking her son away from her, so that....
I told my MIL that my Mom was divorcing my Dad and my Mom will be moving in with my husband and I. She started crying because now she won't have a private room to sleep in when she visits. Then said we should build a room in our house for her so she can visit us at our expense. She only visits once a year. She didn't ask how my Mom or how I are feeling/doing. Just was worried how it will affect her.
I don't care if someone has 20 bedrooms... I don't feel people should just assume they can stay at someone's house when visiting from out of town because they are family. Let people INVITE you to stay. There is only one relative I know who would be offended if I didn't stay, even then I will make sure I have money for a hotel.
My MIL told us when we got engaged that if we went through with the wedding she would “never be able to welcome me into the family”. She then got super offended that we didn’t ask her to host the wedding, wrote a scathing letter to my parents, accusing them of being awful parents for supporting us and contributing $2000 to our wedding that we paid for ourselves, and refused to come to the wedding because we had “publicly humiliated her” by not having the wedding at her church.
These monster-in-law stories always make me laugh because, while I am not married (too young), Both my grandmas were friends in high school and are still friends to this day. My parents met at the pizza place they worked at, and they all love each other. I just thought it would be nice to show that there are nice in-laws too.
A few weeks After my wedding, my husband and I were visiting his parents for a weekend. I was finishing up my thank-you notes to all the people from their hometown. They were all ready to be mailed but needed postage. My MIL offered to go to the post office on Monday, affix the stamps, and mail them for me. Fast forward SEVERAL YEARS later. I was again visiting my in-laws for a weekend. I needed a Sharpie and went to my MIL’s “office supply” drawer to find one. Shoved to the back of the drawer under a stack of papers WERE ALL MY THANK-YOU NOTES THAT HAD NEVER BEEN MAILED! My husband would not confront her and made me promise not to either. By then I had learned that his mother had no manners or sense of etiquette. Needless to say, we were never close (to put it mildly).
@@RonJon4500 He is my ex now! He absolutely abhorred confrontation of any kind. I didn’t learn until after we were married that any time he questioned or confronted his father growing up, he was hit. It definitely affected him as an adult. He would never stand up for himself, me, or our children. I’m the opposite. Him not speaking to his mother about the unmailed notes was one of the nails in the coffin of our marriage.
Parents...here's the thing, ya raise your kids to lead their own lives. Partners aren't replacements, if anything as I was a sole parent, my thought... they make my own life easier add another person to offer love and support to the people I love most in my life.
I have three kids: two grown, one almost so. I can sort of understand the mindset, because watching your kid get their heart broken is beyond excruciating. And when they go through that, it can on some level be natural to be wary of their future choices in partners and what the fallout could be. But you just have to get over it, and I don’t understand why they won’t. Do they really think their kids will be better off growing old alone? Never finding love or the joys of a healthy relationship? I wouldn’t wish that on my worst enemy, let alone the children I brought into this world.
@@angelsinger4574 Of course it's heart wrenching...Ahhh but, it is part of the maturation process, one does not learn to navigate disappointments, loss yada if not given the opportunity to do so independently of external interference...Have found it's fine to ask questions of my grown kids, but find it's far more amiable all around if they are left to seeking their own answers.
@@janeguarnera7700 we're their guidance! Even us had bad relationships, our heart broken ( i've got in a depression after my first serious 2 years relantionship, because he was a jerk and playing with my mind to the point i wanted to kill myself) and yes we don't want that to our kids, but because of that we should know what to do in those cases 😉 And i really hope in the future to be a cool MIL, as for now i have 1 child and i love him so much 🙏
Never married, but my ex boyfriends mom told me as often as possible how the girls he brought home before meeting me was much cuter. One time it was because they were brunettes, another time it was because they had longer hair, next time it was them looking like hookers - "but nice hookers"... He never cared and was a mommys boy. Glad I ended it with him and his mother and found myself someone that loves me and has a caring family
Nice hookers...? That sounds... oddly pleasant. Now I wanna find a hooker and take them to a nice lunch and conversation. I needs some friends in my life anyway.
When I was pregnant with our first child my MIL overheard a conversation where I jokingly said that my husband should properly do some practicing changing diapers cuz the baby could come any minute at that point. MIL pull at face and said that there was no reason for him to learn how to change diapers since I always had to be there with the baby (because of breastfeeding) so I could just change the diapers since I was there anyway. I responded that I would like him to be able to help me with the baby and she said that asking my husband to change diapers was disrespectfulnand degranting and I shouldn’t treat him like that but be thankful of him... lucky my husband feels different and loves changing diapers now because of the 1 on 1 time he has with his son. ❤️❤️❤️😂 take that MIL
@@melissasaint3283 no that proberly the worst part, im from Denmark and here there are great equal rights for men and women. Here its frowened upon to be a stay at home mom, but MIL was and she treats her children as god on this earth. It ‘s so infuriating
there's no problem with an awful mother inlaw. a problem only arises if the son/daughter is completely incapable of standing up to her. In that case you better run.
There is every problem with an awful mother in law because you challenging them just gives them fuel to be even nastier. My friends MIL literally stopped her father in laws funeral...literally stopped it...to get up and walk over to my friend and and tell her to leave the funeral even as she held and consoled her husband, because she was not of the same faith and the MIL personally felt that it was disrespectful for her to be at the funeral. That's f----- up! I mean, was she supposed to get up and tell the MIL off at her husband's funeral?!? These monster in laws don't care. They get a rise out of you being upset because they feel they are winning the invisible war they've waged with you in their heads and unless you take the extreme step of demanding that your spouse never see his mom again or having him agree to that on his own, you're going to constantly have to deal with them.
That son was ridiculous not saying a thing to his mother after her outburst. If my hubby let his mother talk to me like that and stood there without so much as a word o would be walking the other way. Just a sign of things to come.
Actually I believe it was clarified that the husband was frozen in an anxiety attack during his mom's outburst so he was panicking and couldn't move or say much due to it. Just goes to show the effect moms like this can have on their children
@@stormwright8300 Well OK, but that only makes walking out of the marriage MORE advisable for the bride. He's going to freeze in some kind of mental fugue-state every time she opens her big mouth? Outta here!
I'm Jewish, my ex-mother in law is a new born Christian, when my son was 3, she came to the Early Childhood my son attended and I was working at, on Hanukkah. She visited my son's class and as she was leaving she gave me an envelope. I thought "How nice to bring a small present to my son on Hanukkah". But no, it was a Christian pamphlet. Did I mention the Early Childhood was a Jewish one? #theaudacity.
My MIL once got very emotional with me because she resents me for having bonded with their cat, the cat she and FIL never bothered to interact with because ''well she never comes to us'' I started interacting with the cat and became her best friend. It wasn't hard, at all... She's still pissed about it.
I'm reminded of a line Morticia said in Addams Family Reunion. "Darling, you must understand, that to me, they are still in laws. Tradition clearly dictates I must despise them, regardless of my personal feelings."
My monster in law brought me ingredients to make a large dinner after I had my son. She brought over six people to see my new baby while I made the meal for all of them. I don’t know if anyone knows what it is like to be newly released from the hospital and suddenly have to stand up and make and serve a large meal, but my legs swole like balloons and... well... bleeding. Bad bleeding. It was awful. It was also my birthday. My husband had planned to go to my favorite restaurant and bring me a relaxing at- home meal and MIL knew about it, but to her it wasn’t tradition. That’s why she quickly intervened. She wanted me to host a meet the baby dinner and circumvented the plans without my input at all. I was young and felt pressured to comply. DH would not stand up for us and just let it happen. He did help with the dishes .Inwould tell her to suck eggs now that I am in my 30s. But I was in a very vulnerable state at the time and just did it. Ew
No judgment there girl coz I put up with my MIL for 5 freaking years and I was 29 when I got married!!! Not all of the MIL fight you face to face but behind you and in a subtle way
I thought the hilarious part was her showing up to her son’s wedding wearing shorts and looking like she was about to mow the lawn. Maybe she thought that “semi formal” meant wearing shoes. Terrific look for Mother of the Groom - was probably a tip-off that the s@%^t was going to hit the fan.
My MIL passed away 29 years ago but we got along great. Of course the only English word she knew was “hello”. She spoke only Thai and Chinese but she loved when I tried to speak in her language, no matter how awful I sounded. She was very sweet to me. His sister is a whole other issue, she’s a monster.
At my wedding reception my MIL got wasted, came out as a lesbian to the whole family, and let us know she was leaving FIL to move across the country to be with her online girlfriend. Her logic for doing it at my wedding? Everyone was there so she would only have to tell the story once. :P
I'll answer that with one of the truest sentences said by a guy I dated: You can have a dish with garlic. I'll probably get one too. If everyone eats garlic, no one is really bothered by the smell. It cancels each other out. Otherwise, I have tic tacs in my bag.
On my 23rd anniversary, my mil called my husband to invite him to his 18 year old sister's wedding.... and informed him that I'm not invited and neither are our kids because "we aren't family."
I have a monster grandmother-in-law story. When me and my wife got married my wife who had three dads, biological, step and the new husband of her mom, all came to the wedding. My GIL, who is very conservative, spent the whole reception telling anyone that her daughter was a "whore," and should have stayed with the first guy because that is what good Christians do.
Any time my grandmother introduced my father (her son) and mother to someone: "This is my son, Robert and his first wife." My parents married in 1957 and were married when my dad passed away in 2000.
@@jennevamadison3803 from what i understand he did stand up to my grandmother when she said that. My dad was a very loving husband and father. He made my mother very happy and provided very well for my sisters and I. After many years of marriage it became a joke within the family.
You dodged a bullet. It won't feel like it at first, but you did. If he won't stand up to his mother while y'all are dating & on your best behavior with each other, it will only get horrible as the marriage progresses.
Be grateful you found out how much power she has over him... You need a grown up man for a partner. And in time you will meet this partner and he will have YOUR back , even if he has to stand up against his mother.
My ex MIL is a piece of work. She always play the “poor me” card and the mamas boy my ex is, he of course gave her what she wanted. We bought her a new car. We bought his stepdad a truck. We put a new roof on their house. We even paid for her divorce and the trip across country (New Mexica to Vermont) for the stepdad to travel to the new girlfriend he had found, just to pay same trip back again a few months later because MIL and stepdad decided that they wanted to be together. Not to mention when my ex told his mom that him and I were going to get married, she told him that we could get married so I could come to America (I’m from Denmark) and then when i got my greencard we could get a divorce. We were married 18 years. We also had the weekly phone calls to ask for money so she could pay bills. It took my ex husband 15 years to finally tell her no, because he was now a disabled veteran and we couldn’t afford to supply her lifestyle anymore.
so you two basically went into debt because his mother couldn't support her own lifestyle as a grown woman? that's just pathetic on her part..happy you're out of that situation.
I can honestly say that when me and my ex got hitched I had no such thing as a monster-in-law. His parents were such lovely people and I couldn't have asked for better in laws, honestly. They were one of the few things I missed about him after we divorced. I don't know if they're still around but if they are I hope they're doing OK.
Same Jean! I’m am a Bond through and through. I love my MIL and she me. The family welcomed me with open arms 15 years ago when we got married and has been wonderful ever since. I feel very blessed and fortunate! We are still married that is the diff in our stories. 😊
@@lenkacfk7155 sadly, I don't know if they are still with us and I don't have their home number any more (if they're still living they migh have switched to mobiles and got rid of their landline, like so many other people). My ex remarried after we divorced and also has a child with his wife. By all accounts she was in tears when me and him split up. I did get in touch a couple of times in the early times after our split but this is back in the early noughties. I can still honestly say though, hand on heart, that his parents are/were both lovely and amazing people. I say that I don't know if his parents are still living because both of my own parents are deceased and I don't think the age gap between my folks and his was that huge.
I actually was at a wedding in Italy. In the backyard of an old house. They had deep-fried zucchini blossoms, spring lamb, a compote of figs from the neighbor's garden. And garlic in everything.. This was a wedding that was innately classier than anything I have been to before or since, and they don't even have a gas stove. They have a fire in the corner of the kitchen and a hole in the corner of the roof. (They did rent special equipment for the deep frying.) Half the house is inaccessible because of an earthquake. These people were just innately more elegant than Americans could ever be. The couple escaped in a Fiat that has hidden in the garden shed for 50 years.
Brother's first marriage: She drove everyone away with a crappy attitude. Had moved him multiple times because she made every landlord super angry, once before they even moved in. Had him buy two new cars, got the legal marriage done so she could use his insurance to get stomach surgery (and then still ate too much against her doctor's advice), chose the colors for the groomsmen, just HAD to have a silk carpet rolled out on a mechanism that no one knew how to work before she came down the aisle and instead of flower girls wanted to have Bell girls screaming 'The Bride is coming, the bride is coming'. My professional photographer aunt was chastised for 'not doing it the way she wanted' despite doing the wedding for free. The Best Men hated her, my father had to hold my mom in place when the 'speak now or forever hold your peace' moment came up. I had already nicknamed her 'The Tumor'. The 'rehearsal' for the wedding was essentially 30 minutes before, so nothing was coordinated. We dressed quickly after, tried to get the sound system working, and had to delay with the silk carpet because the other groomsman and I working it were having to figure out just how to pull the cords out to release the roll. When the bell girls started coming out the bells drowned out their voices (the wedding march was still playing on the speakers for some reason) and so it all sounded like some sort of chaotic announcement of the gates of hell opening. Spurred me to lean forward to the best man whispering 'All beware! The Beast has arrived and all hope is lost! Repent! Repent! 1000 years of darkness starts now! Your judgement hath come!' He fought to not burst out laughing. Good guy. She couldn't even let my brother and his grooms-party sing a song alone. Had to come steal that thunder, too. 0/10. Would not attend again. Would score lower, but meeting my brother's people was good times.
When my husband was going through a divorce, his mom told his ex to take him to the cleaners 🤦♀️. Years later, his dad was dying of cancer and all the kids were visiting him more than they normally would. I was talking with her on the phone one day and the topic came up (they were divorced for over 20 years at this point) and she said she couldn’t wait until he died so the attention was back on her. I told her that was a real Christian like thing to say (she was an elder in her church), she got mad a hung up on me. I didn’t shed a tear when she passed away.
And another little story on my MIL. When I was pregnant with her first grandchild, I was on bed rest. Pregnancy was really hard on my body and my son and I almost died twice while I was pregnant. Anyways she came over, and very loudly from the next room asked my hubby if she was gonna have to teach the trailer trash how to clean and do dishes...? You know, cause that's more important than my child's life.
I'm probably a rarity because I lucked out with a great mother in law! She's there with advice when asked and never interferes with our relationship. She's absolutely supportive, kind and caring. ❤ I can't imagine having to deal with any of the MIL's in these videos!
Same here! I've dealt with a "MIL", but not as actually married, just as girlfriend and boyfriend (for many years). Oh my god, I NEVER want to go through that again. She was worse than most of these in the video... I'm glad I wasn't married and had her as an actual MIL! When the time eventually came I was so happy to get away from her. My current one is a DREAM.
They aren't rare. It's the few that spoil the bunch. My FIL is a jerk, but he is to everybody. My MIL always put me before herself. When I went through chemo, she insisted that my wife and I move in her house (at the time, we lived in a third story apartment and she felt it would be too much to climb after treatment, she was right!), She put a recliner in a bedroom next to a bed so I could sleep in the chair (the only thing comfortable to me) and my wife could sleep in the bed next to me instead if being in two different rooms. She cooked meals that were bland to everybody, but much needed for chemo patients. Lastly, she didn't accept any payments for us staying there. To me, she was one of a kind.
I'm a mother in law. Never interfered. Never gave advice. Sometimes not even when asked, because advice when partners are angry with each other always boomerangs back onto MIL. I still get the "hate" from Son in law, and I truly don't understand why. I've only ever been welcoming and pleasant on the rare occasions he used to visit. That goes for any of my kids' partners/husbands or wives. I've kept my trap shut, I've kept out of arguments, and I've been there to help if needed, and I still get bad attitude. One of my daughter's mother in law is an alcoholic, can't be trusted to look after the grandkids, and is abusive when drunk. Which is often. But she's okay? How does that work?
2 stories about different MILs at our wedding.... My MOM'S MIL( not my gma. My mom remarried) told our DJ to stop playing a song at repection because is was not suitable for a wedding. My husband had made the whole playlist. Song was Never met a girl like you before by Flogging Molly. I was so pissed because I barely knew this woman and had only invited her because my mother had wanted her to come. Secondly my fiance and I only wanted a small simple wedding...save the money for the honeymoon😉. We had our wedding at a local nature park and we just set up an area for me to get ready there. Well day of my cousin/bridesmaid was helping me get ready and we had to walk to my car to get something. We get to my car and a lady who apparently my soon to be MIL invited without asking us, asked me for a ride to the dollar general. My cousin and I just looked at each other like wtf. My cousin then turned to her and was like we are trying to get her ready for her WEDDING no we can't run you to the store. I was so mad that MIL had invited her because neither my fiance or I really knew this lady she was just some random friend of his mom's. Then when wedding and reception was over miss I need a ride takes like 5 plates of food home. I couldn't believe it.
My MONSTER-in-law sent me a book shortly after marrying her son: The Mother-in-law dance: can two women love the same man and still get along? No joke. She cray 🤪
@yuriel cundangan No they don’t. She has two 👎 …so obviously not everyone’s day was made better. But thank you for letting us know what our opinion is.
My husband gets along with my parents so well. He doesn’t talk to his family and calls my parents mom and dad. I got the crazy in laws but he doesn’t talk to them so in a way it works out 😂😂
My in-laws did the same for me. They actually had an unofficial adoption ceremony in their living room. I finally know what it is to be a valued and loved family member. One of the greatest gifts I'll ever receive is when I made phone calls to MIL's many friends, most of whom I'd never met. When I introduced myself to people I'd never met, they all knew me. They all told me she talked about what a wonderful person I am, and how lucky they felt to have me in the family. My new parents couldn't have been more accepting of their lesbian daughter and her wife. We aren't religious at all, but Mom & Dad were two wonderful Christians who expressed their faith quietly through loving actions. I miss them so much, but I can still feel their loving presence whenever I think about them. I wish all those professing to be 'christian' would do it in a less hate-filled and judgy way.
My niece wasn't allowed to open gifts and nobody got cake at her wedding. Her mother-in-law packed it all up and took it back to her house. None of our family was allowed to go there. SHE opened all the gifts then told my niece what she could and couldn't keep. My sister was beyond PISSED!
So you're saying she kept some of the wedding gifts for herself? And neither the groom or anybody else had enough courage to call her out for stealing from her own family?
@@AV-we6wo no, she told me niece what to keep and what to get rid of. My niece spent the day in tears, I think she was just to emotionally spent to say anything.
My dad's second wife was really weird about toilet paper. She always had a large stash (at least 2 Sam's/Costco sizes at all times) because she grew up poor and they would never have toilet paper. I can only imagine how crazy she went at the beginning of the pandemic lol.
My dad actually has something similar, but it's with canned food. My grandparents grew up in the UK during WWII as farmers, and sometimes food was really scarce to come by for them. So, when they came to America in the 50's, they made sure to freeze anything they could, lived off of very little while working 3 jobs, and so on. Once my dad grew up and made a good living, he started helping out my grandparents because they really did deserve it, they're awesome people. But my dad still only bought canned food, he freezes everything, and he saves everything he can food-wise. My mom does this but with, like, gift wrapping and what not. She grew up actually dead poor, so I think she just hordes clothes and gift bags because of it.
No joke, my mom collects printed toilet paper. It started two years ago when a local shop sold cute tp with teddy bears on it. My mom is a pretty cheap person, probably due to her growing up pretty poor. I wanted to put the last two rolls of printed paper beside our toilet. It was still in the plastic wrapper in our shelf and I wanted to declutter it. She was pretty insulted by it, how dare I put the last two rolls of printed toilet paper to use? It is for special occasions only
A lot of my older relatives grew up during the Great Depression when everything was rationed. So they always have a stockpile of supplies in case of an emergency
I miss my mother in law so much. She was like a mother to me at a time when I had a horrible relationship with my own mother. I was only nineteen when I got married and she taught me so much. She and my grandmother helped me in so many ways. I don’t understand some of these terrible in laws. Don’t they want to foster a wonderful life for their own child? They’re terribly selfish, immature people.
My MIL and I had a VERY rough start because I'm her son's second marriage and step mother to her grandchildren. But now we're sooo much better. She realized that her son and grandkids are my world and finally saw me as part of her family. I love her and we get along great now.
the first time we visited my husband's parents after the wedding, my mother in law grabbed my husband as we walked in the front door and said "dont forget, no woman will EVER love you like I love you! You belong to me first, HER second!
My mother in law said, the night before my wedding that she would like to throw me in the lake on my wedding day. Then laughed about it, evil laughing. We have been through some rough times, she's kinda insane, I have many stories! Now we are really good friends, I call her a lot for advice or just to chat. I can relate to her more now that I'm older, I'm kinda insane. Lol
Every time you do a mother in law video I count my blessings because mine is a literal Saint. I love her so much and I'm so thankful because it could be so much worse.
I can FINALLY talk about my ex MIL : I was with my ex for 12 years, we have 4 kids together and im a bit "antisocial" but im always nice to family but she didn't like me i don't know why, probably the goth part anyways i left him 4 years ago and now he has a new girlfriend and my kids told me " grandma doesn't like tania " 🤣 and now when i see her she is super nice to me and my ex actually told me that she misses me 🤣 ( my ex is not gonna be with his gf for long, all she does is complain ) anyways how SATISFYING that my ex MIL was wrong and she missed me 🤣
My mother-in-law came to my impromptu wedding, but no one else in my family or my husband's family came. Oh the narcissist, it was perhaps petty perfect. In front of an old jail at the center of an old town, my husband and I dressed as Lydia and he as Beetlejuice, plus the ordained minister in a cloak, on Halloween 2021. And Maleficent was my maid of honor. I could see my new MIL's skin boiling.
there's always jealous angry dislikers on good content creator videos, i don't get it either! either way a dislike HELPS her channel bc it's STILL engagement so jokes on them fr fr
I was engaged 2 years ago to someone I loved in my teen years and I loved him later on too despite his brain injuries from a motorbike accident and his mum started disliking me the day he ate my cooking and said infront of his mum "this is the best food ive ever eaten" and he'd started coming to me if he'd been upset or wanted something and I guess his mum couldn't handle it because 2 weeks later she made life hell there and one day I get a text saying its over. I tried seeing him again but his mum threatened to call the police if he didn't come home because apparently im a threat?? I was a threat to his compensation and her getting full control she means.
@@RakeshSingh-ut9pc yes I did and we went on a date last month but I can't put myself through all of that again. Im drug free and I think all that pressure might make go back to drugs so i need to think about me at the moment so he blocked me on everything again because I said for now can we be friends =( so he obviously isn't worth my time and I won't cry for him anymore x
@@pablodelsegundo9502 it would be great that you do the dishes once in s while. Remember,your partner would be grateful for a little time off from cleaning
@CrazyCat Lady you probably right about Pablo. It's nice to have someone to assist you when you can't do it yourself. When my kiddos were little I was single mom. I had my parents to help me but they couldn't always be there. My kids are here for me now,they are 21 and 22 y/o.
I would've preferred my MIL to my own mother. Unfortunately my MIL passed away a year ago. When we were compiling a list of potential wedding guests we decided that each one of our parents could invite up to 5 couples or 10 individuals. My mom started making demands because she felt like 10 spots wasn't enough for her to invite everyone she's ever met in the 50+ years she's been alive. I told her no, if she wanted to invite more than 10 individuals it would cost her $117 per person and she could only invite 2 more (for a total of 12). I refuse to let her have her way. She tends to force people into letting her do what she wants. I didn't want my fiancé to be put in an awkward position.
... And THIS is why my wife & I removed the 'objection' part of the wedding vows. It was already bad enough to have to pay my mother to attend, but we could see she was just waiting for that part of the vows. Oh well... Sucks to be her. Well, it did suck until she passed away.
We had 2 in the family... a sister in law and a mother in law, we called them both dragon in law, the curly one (later her nickname was poodle from hell) and the old one...
My M-I-L told me that over her dead body would I marry her son, and that we would never last more than a year. We are on our 25th year of marriage. And we are friends now. I asked her about it one day, and she told me that she saw me as being just like her and wanted someone better for her son. It was sweet in a twisted way. Happy Anniversary, baber! (I love you more, so there! )
That MIL has NOTHING on my mom!! We have a two car garage....we can't park 2 cars in our 2 car garage because my mother has filled HALF OF OUR 2 CAR GARAGE WITH TOILET PAPER AND PAPER TOWELS!!! That's right everyone...my mom caused the TP shortage single handedly!!! 🙄
The borrowed garter is from a long time tradition that the bride should have something old,something new, something borrowed and something blue. As for the MIL not liking SIL job mine kept asking my wife when I was going to quit working retail and go to a factory and get a real job.
Oh girl. My MIL.... GIRL! This woman cancelled my beautiful white marquees with billowing silk hangings from the "rafters"... And borrowed a bunch of green striped umbrellas in their place. I didn't know until I got to the reception. THEN we're well in to the UGLY reception when my now husbands ex girlfriend arrives. She was invited by MIL. This woman. Ugh. We have no real contact with her and literally moved to the other side of the country.
I don't understand companies who have a contract with "person A" and then "person B" just rings up and cancels it, and it doesn't occur to the company to check back with "person A".
@@darrenrobinson9041 We made it clear to every person we spoke to, from the priest to the coordinator for the reception venue to the florist that NO one had permission to even get information about our plans, much less adjust them. My MIL is the kind of person who would spot a friend of ours at the supermarket, after having met him only once briefly two years before, and practically grab him in an aisle and start telling him about how "we all need to work together" to convince me to do or not do something, like re-renovate a room she didn't care for, or NOT use cloth diapers JUST IN CASE I was considering that. She has boundaries like wet tissue paper. Also, her taste is "baroque" (she once rag-rolled almost her entire house in shimmery gold paint, and always has gigantic oversized statement pieces, so large they make even a huge room look cramped) So there was just **no way** we were going to risk it. The wedding made her and her husband go into insanity overdrive in multiple ways. For example, they wanted to see and edit our guest list, and tried to demand the right to invite 21 people (with a plus one for each, so 42 people) to our reception. Keep in mind that 1. Venue only held around 90 people 2. Husband and I both have large families and had already invited ALL of them. This wasn't a case where we were forgetting old uncle Bill by any means. The invites they demanded were for people we weren't related to and, aside from maybe three, did not even know. 3. They were not paying one thin dime towards any part of the wedding! 😂😂😂 Ahh, yes I see, but....I'm sorry, that's just not going to be possible. The fit that ensued was epic and lasted months. She wore black to the wedding, but as we had already given my Mom permission to wear a beautiful shimmery dark grey dress, instead of a shocking protest it only looked like an elegant color coordination. Bwomp Bwomp!
My MIL once insisted my house was infested with fleas. When my response was, basically, "WTF are you talking about?!" She smugly pointed to the front porch light, outside, that had a couple gnats flitting around it. She didn't believe me when I told her those gnats were not, in fact, fleas flying around outside.
I had a nice wedding and my cousin Carlyn was the maid of honor. We practically lived together . All was well until she was having a wedding a year or so later . I was asked to be maid of honor and went dress shopping . She wanted gold dresses for MOH and bridesmaids . So when I bought the dress and took it to her house to try it her reaction surprised me. She started crying because it looked too good on me . Next thing I know I'm kicked completely out of the wedding party . I ask why and they lied and said their (religious) officiant said I was too "worldly" to be in the wedding party. Mind you, the bride and groom had being having premarital sex and oral for years...they weren't innocent little angels. I asked him and he didn't know what I was talking about. It broke my heart. She was my only friend . My best friend and cousin. I would have never done that to her for all the money in the world. I had to realize how much she despised me and it hurt. Because I loved her dearly. Every friend that I have loved dearly has treated me this way.. Jealousy is a terrible sickness that destroys lives and families. Don't let it run your life.
That sucks, but there is no way that absolutely every single friend you have had has mistreated you. Sometimes we do things that are our fault and don't realize or want to acknowledge. And if you find yourself constantly having that one friend that does mean things, I would definitely reconsider how I let friends into my life. Sometimes we follow the same patterns.
I was at walmart making a return and I made some small talk about toilet paper, as one does with strangers. And she told me that people returned a lot of toilet paper a few months after they bought it. I said, "its TP at some point they will use it." She said she asked and a lot of them told her they needed the money and/or didn't have anywhere to store it.
At my wedding my (now ex) husband's mother was going around telling everyone that it wasn't the real wedding, and there would be a huge elaborate wedding sometime in the future. we had a small intimate wedding with mostly direct family and some close friends who were like family. It was exactly what we wanted, but his parents were very materialistic and felt like they had to keep up appearences by lying about a bigger more expensive wedding to make up for what they deemed as pathetic. Oh the stories I could tell about my experiences with his mother... one that stands out the most though was she gave me a copy of Dr Spock's baby raising book the day after I had lost our baby. It was just like a salty knife in the very fresh wound. Plus who uses parenting books from the 70s these days?
Went to a friends wedding and as I was eating breakfast, saw a woman walk past dressed all in black including a black short veil. I thought, how sad she must be going to a funeral, nope it was my friends to be MIL. Also her speech at the reception was all about how much success her husband and her had achieved in their lives, we were so shocked we didn’t know what to do when she finally finished.
I feel like we need more heartwarming stories about MILs. Mine insisted I come shopping with her so she "wouldn't embarrass me" (I wouldn't have cared what she wore) and then asked me to go to the outlets the day after Thanksgiving...ya know Black Friday. Well she had never heard of it and was absolutely shocked how many people were out shopping. 🤣
I must side with MIL on the garlic mashed potatoes. Not because it might ruin an elegant wedding, but because garlic is one of the ingredients that you either love or can't stand. And personal experience - if you take some medication (like chemotherapy) or you are pregnant, the strong smell of garlic is a sure way to send you running to the nearest toilet bowl (or in a worse case, a flower pot). For an event like a wedding, I would suggest choosing more neutral flavors. Or at least contacting all your guests and asking if they don't have a problem with it (that can change though, with a sudden illness or pregnancy, if you plan the food a long time ahead).
It wasn’t my mother in law but on my husband’s side his cousin from CA came down for the wedding, missed the rehearsal dinner because she wanted to go shopping and took my soon to be in laws car without asking. She was so disrespectful when she was told to come back for the dinner. We allowed her to stay in our room and use our bed. After returning from the wedding our room was a mess and she used ALL of our shampoo and conditioner in our bathroom!!! She was there one night and the bottles were 32 oz. oh did I forget to mention after we said I do, she gave me a hug and whispered in my ear, “ you better be good enough for him”. Oh I’m sorry maybe if you were actually at the dinner you would have gotten to know me… and your welcome for using OUR room and all of our products… Bit**
It's more than likely that these people would make their lives actual hell if they're not invited to the wedding. If they're not invited, but everyone else is, they'll make everyone believe they're being discriminated against and that the spouse of their child is toxic and awful and they're the real victim here. That's more than likely why. When I get married, I know my mom and my fiance's parents will HAVE to be invited, because that'll happen to us on both ends if we don't do it.
Some people don't even realise. I mean your mom could be "such an angel" to you and you think your future wife/husband is overreacting for no reason till on the wedding your mom can't hold it back no more and screams in front of you
Well, he has two dominating women in his life. He was a momma's boy and he found a woman to act just like her. Both women acted childish. The bride should have ignored the MIL when saying her vows. If the MIL persisted, that's when someone else other than the bride should make her leave. It'd be nice if it was the groom, but that wasn't going to happen. It's obvious that the relationship between the bride and MIL has been this fiery for some time. It probably was the norm in the family.
My mil is like the best ever! She made my wedding dress(she's a designer and seamstress!) and it was beautiful! And she payed like 50% of our wedding, with me working my ass off to pay the rest, as my own mom didn't do Jack shit.. She just bought 80% alcohol and drank the whole thing and didn't even care about doing anything.. I've got a lot of more awful stories about her, but I refrain from telling them anymore, because after many years of therapy, I've healed from it all.. But I was bitter before and hated her so much.. Now, I don't even care.. She just isn't in my life anymore.. She doesn't get to see our 3kids,and what I've heard, they're her only grandchildren, so it's her loss, not ours... ❤️
3/3 I’m so sorry to write a THIRD comment… But my monster in law made my wedding such a mess it I was so disappointing. Along with the ugly napkins she “gifted” us, She also told us that the main part of our gift would be that she would be singing during the ceremony. Most would think this is a lovely gesture however we did not feel quite that way. She chose three songs in addition to the music I had already picked and the flautist that I had hired. One of her songs what is the Lords prayer. It would’ve been absolutely lovely if she could sing. It was so awkward when her voice cracked several times and the other two songs were so long they went on and on and on. This was not something that we wanted, but we felt that it would have been rude to tell her no. To this day I wish I would have stuck to my guns. She also chose to have a priest from her church preside over our wedding service that took place in the church I grew up in. I was baptized there, confirmed and my child was Also baptize there. The Priest that she chose again as a favor/gift, also happen to be a friend of hers. A long portion of our ceremony/vows was filled with stories about my then husband as a child and young man and personal stories about him growing up. Unfortunately, there was barely any mention of me. Not to be selfish, but after all… It was kind of my special day. I’ve got so many horror stories I could probably right several more posts, but I will spare you all. It is nice to hear that I am not alone in having to deal with a very overbearing controlling scary and difficult monster in law. As I stated in a previous post, the marriage did not last however, she is still one of my child’s grandmothers so I do my best to bite my tongue and be civil. At one point, I had to tell her if she couldn’t get her drinking under control she would no longer be able to have visits with my son. She then threatened to pull his college fund that she opened before my son was born. Of course I was grateful that she did that for my son, but to threaten to take it away from him was very rude and hurtful. I told her That she would need to be sober if she wanted to be around my son and she could take the money and basically put it where the sun does not shine.
You're right as always! Hope you're day is going cooler than it was! And soo glad the fair trip went great too @Mama Pink ❤️💜💙🧡💛💚 sending you both huge hugs of happy spud love 💗🥔🥔🥔💗

I’m so beyond thankful my mother in law was nothing like this. She was such a wonderful woman. She passed away unexpectedly 5 years ago and I miss her a lot.
Lol that tattoo bit is hilarious. Personally I don't have any but I often admire other people's. There is a tattoo parlor up the road from where I work and from what I've seen they do really good work. An old lady who lives across from them hates it and thinks it s sinful and keeps writing them letters telling them to stop (good luck with that, I'd say at least half the people I serve have tattoos and are just calm, nice people). The shop promptly got so annoyed they posted all of her letters on the front of the window. There is nothing she can do about it but a lot of people find it funny.
Lol, I laughed at the garlic mashed potatoes one. It reminded me of when my husband and I were planning our wedding, and the food was buffet style. On of the standard options was those little party meatballs, which I actually like. My mother in law, before I could express that I actually like those, says, “Oh, absolutely not, those are so tacky!” I’m not someone who deals with confrontation well, and since it wasn’t anything that important, I just left it alone, but I’ve always wondered why she had such strong feelings about party meatballs🤷🏻♀️🤣
At our wedding, the pastor said “if anyone has any objections to this wedding... too late, keep it to yourself.” I appreciate the wisdom in that, and it was funny.
That is an excellent approach for a wedding in modern times. Back in the Middle Ages, church leaders were very concerned that the bride and/or groom might actually already be married to someone else. So, like many things, the question about anyone knowing of a reason why the couple cannot lawfully wed is something that made sense a long time ago but doesn't really make sense today.
I'm making a mental note of this in case I ever get married, because that's awesome!
My in-laws were intense crazy-makers,
So when we met with our priest, we nervously asked about that.
He laughed and said, "We are Catholic! People get the whole year of your formal engagement to approach you privately about any concerns. We don't ask that, because by the last minute of the actual wedding, it is way too late!"
He also explained that no one would be asked "who gives this woman?" About me because "you are a grown woman making her own decisions, and if you weren't, this marriage would not be valid"
Instead, bride and groom are each asked if they have come of their own free will to be married.
There wasn't an inch of room for drama in the ceremony, though we do have a photo of my MIL hucking rice at us in a terrifying way as we exited the church, lol
The officiant at my sister’s wedding rehearsal was dead serious that no one object. He then went on to explain that the town has an obscure law that states if anyone objects to the marriage the officiant must take them to a ‘crying room’ where they determines if the objection has merit. Then entire ceremony stops for this, for however long it takes. What a bizarre law lol
My best friend from high school was the officiator at my wedding. He asked if anyone objected and when no one answered, he said, "Good. Otherwise I was going to ask you to meet me outside." 😆
Don't have a MIL, but legit saw one go ballistic on her son when he proposed to his fiance because she didn't like her, for whatever reason. But the cherry on top is when the son said "You came back into my life almost a year ago, after you left Dad, my sister, and me after I was born. What audacity do you have to say what I can do with my life?"
Kudos to him.
Damn... get dunked on mil!! And on that note, mil cant shit to anyone else about their life choices.
Oh wow! She is marrying a keeper! I hope they grow old together.
My hubby and I were married at the courthouse, and while waiting for the little ceremony to begin, my MIL and FIL (who are divorced) took bets on how long we'd be married. I had just found out I was pregnant with their first grandchild (hubby is an only child), and my MIL said as soon as the kid was born and I could prove it was her son's I'd leave and live off child support and my FIL said it wouldn't even be that long. We've been married twenty years and are still going strong. Apparently because I grew up in a trailer I wasn't good enough for their son. Psycho in laws for sure.
Please tell us you never spoke to them again and didn't let them have visits with your kid(s).
Oh My God, that’s so horrible that they judged you for that instead of actually getting to know you and maybe seeing you through their sons eyes. I’m glad your love is still going strong…..and bonus you proved them wrong 😊
OMG... That's horrible. I'm so happy you guys are still strong and loving each other. ❤️
Nothing wrong with growing up in a trailer. They weren't setting an example.
@@honolulublues5548 I agree
I don’t have a MIL story, but I’ll never forget how my mom decided I couldn’t go to my big sister’s wedding when I was in Highschool not because it was a school day but because I’m goth and she thought the dark colors I was wearing was inappropriate. Luckily the courthouse was really close by my school so when I got to school I immediately ditched my backpack and ran to the courthouse to spite my mom and to enjoy the wedding anyway. That’s my big sister, man. We were and are besties
Good for you 👍
Thats the only time I condone intentionally skipping school. Nice job, fellow goth here.
Hurrah glad you were a rebel and ditched school
Lots of people wear black to weddings, not just goth people. What was her problem?
Wearing black is indeed a bad luck move. Wearing dark red means you slept with the groom.
You could've worn dark purple tho and still kept that aesthetic. That's on your mom honestly. Uncool.
My friend's parents in law wanted to "test" her before the wedding. Their plan was to show up unannounced to her house and check how well she decorates and cleans her home, as well as how well she "serves" her guests. On the night they arrived, the parents had allegedly waited for my friend to come out for like 2 hours. Turns out my friend was out with someone else to get dinner and that's why she wasn't getting the door. The friend she was with gave her a ride home. When they got to my friend's street, they could see two people banging on the door to her house; my friend couldn't identify neither the people nor any of the cars nearby so she called the police.

My MIL got angry with me for going into labor while she was out of town. When it came time to push, we had to unplug the phone in the delivery room because she kept calling every 5 minutes. She also got upset with me because I had daughters instead of sons. She was a real peach.
Wow!! There isn’t much else I can respond with than wow!!
Shit
HAHA! It's her son's sperm that ultimately decides the sex, so it's really his fault. If you want to try crazy MIL logic, you could add that it's therefore really _her_ fault, because she gave birth to him, in the first place.
Baby's sperm donor (father) determines sex/gender of child
because those are things you can actually control right? Wow! She is a real peach
My MIL passed away, very unexpectedly, in December, two weeks after my husband’s and my 20th wedding anniversary. But totally won the the MIL lottery. My in-laws own a gorgeous home on 42 acres just outside of the KC suburb we lived in. My hubby and I decided to buy 10 of their acres and build a home. We have two daughters-their only grandchildren-and she never just showed up at our house unexpectedly, and our house was literally in her back yard. She always made it a point to tell us how proud she was of my husband and I for being “fantastic parents.” She always included me in “girls days” with my hubby’s older sisters. I truly loved her, the only thing about her that saddens me is that my daughters won’t get to grow up knowing her.
I hope she is in good place now.
I also had the most wonderful MIL a girl could have, I was Blessed!
Hugs. My inlaws were lovely too. They are both gone now and I miss them every day.
She sounds like a lovely woman 😊
She sounds amazing! Sorry for your loss.
I'm not married, but my sister has a very interesting MIL. She's competitive to an absurd degree. When my sister gave birth to her oldest child, my parents and I were the first of the family to see them in the hospital. We didn't know this at the time we were just excited to meet baby girl and be with family. The in laws came around a while later, and MIL looked at us and just froze for a second, then forced a smile and said, "Hi... I didn't know you guys were here too." She pointedly ignored us the rest of the time we were there. Several days later, my sister told us her suspicions that she was upset at not being there first. MIL has been cold to our family ever since. The real kicker? My sister sent a text to her and my mom AT THE SAME TIME. They just couldn't come right away because they were busy. But obviously, that's OUR fault. 😒
10 yrs ago, my MIL came late to our small, outdoor wedding. We had 7 kids under 8yrs in our new blended fam, one was our preemie infant named after her. (No gift, no visit to the NICU) She brought grapes to the small 'reception' at our house. When she left early, she took with her the grapes that hadn't been eaten.
She's getting married soon. I'm thinking of sending a platter of grapes in my stead.
Be sure to send sour ones!
I told my fiancé about the moms wearing wedding dresses to weddings that aren’t theirs, to which he replied, “that sounds like something my mom will do” WILL DO. Not even might do.
Run!
@@peajay3557 depends on how the fiancé deals with his mom. If he lets her walk all over his soon-to-be-wife, yeah, run, but if he stands up to her and establishes boundaries, it’s not his fault his mom is like that. I agree, though, Rhema should keep an eye on if her fiancé will let his mom run their lives when they’re married or not.
I hope she wasn't invited to your wedding if you got married
Guy says to his friend, "My mother-in-law is an angel." His friend replies, "You lucky SoB ... mine's still alive."
LOL Funny
🤣 this one I heard from a friend long ago and it was in my country. Some jokes you can't literal translate because some words get lost in translation. This one's in universal language 🤣
I find it funny because I love bad jokes. But if you're literal, it's quite sad. If she's an angel, it means she was a good person. Most of the MIL in this video might be going the other way.

I had such a Monster-in-law. One short story: I had an 18 kt gold bracelet. It was super sentimental, a gift from a good college friend (I had given him a 14 kt gold ring with a pearl I found in the wild in return). It was HEAVY and worth quite a lot of money. My MIL stole it. She finally confessed, telling me that since her son had borrowed $10000 and not paid her back yet, that it was collateral. She literally walked into my room and stole it, locked it up and I never saw it again until she died. Years later. THEN my lovely SIL, who had all the jewelry, didn't want to accept it was mine, not her mother's, bracelet. What a nightmare.
I hope you finally have it back...
did you ever get it back? Report it?
If you haven’t yet, steal it back.
@@anneldest I was finally able to convince my SIL it was mine, by asking if she was going to get the 5 carat diamond ring she was hiding appraised for the estate. Heh.
@@BarbaraSwanson as long as you got it back.
I was one of the Groomsman of my friend's wedding. We were already dressed up when the soon to be MIL came to talk to my friend. I overhear her say "if you had daughter named her after me, but if she looks ugly change her name immediately." We were shock when we hear it. Of course he tell his wife after the wedding and decided to do a petty revenge on her mother once they have a daughter. They did have a daughter and she grew up to be a beautiful and smart child and they name their daughter after the name of her father-in-law second wife. My friend's MIL was so pissed at them.
When I married, I had to move a long distance before the wedding, so stayed with my MIL for the few days before the wedding. I had brought my wedding dress with me (a simple one as this was a second wedding). The dress needed pressing once it came out of the suitcase so MIL showed me where the ironing board was. I set it up and plugged in the iron, when she came in and told me the iron I had was no good, I should use a different one she gave me. The minute that iron touched my dress it spurted out a huge mess of dirty rusty brown water. Showed the mess to fiance, who couldn’t figure out out how I had managed to get my hands on that old iron that should have been thrown out ages ago when there was perfectly good new iron in the cupboard. I had the last laugh, though. My lovely, simple, elegant dress was also washable and I got the stain right out. Also, fiance saw his mother’s true colours, something he never forgot.
My hubband and I eloped and didn’t invite anyone to our “paper signing”. I asked him multiple times if he wanted his family involved and he said no every time. We signed papers in a fast food restaurant, had his friend’s wife who is a notary make them official, then took photos in a park. When we got home, we posted the photos we took on social media. Not even 5 minutes after posting my MIL calls us and screams at us over the phone for half an hour, we couldn’t even get a word in. Cried about how he’s the first one to get married, and how it was disrespectful to not invite her, etc. I explained to her that I tried to convince him to let her be involved and he said no. My MIL holds it against us TO THIS DAY… 2 years later!
We are now expecting our first child very soon and she got very upset with me that I posted my pregnancy announcement before telling her. Then got upset that I wouldn’t tell her the sex of the baby, now she’s upset because I won’t tell her the baby’s name. She then proceeded to complain about how her son “won’t let her be a grandma” and that he “hates her” and tells me to “convince him”.
What she doesn’t understand is that before I even met his maternal side, he warned me about their terrible behavior and then I gave them the benefit of the doubt… I have made up my mind and I don’t want them anywhere near my child… and somehow that makes my husband a “cruel, unappreciative, ungrateful son”…
My MIL would also get drunk at lunch with me once a week and shit talk her own son while he was off at basic training…
honestly, the tatoo one got me laughing- dihydrogen monoxide (h20) is water
My comedian husband told me it was a joke. I told him “but what about people that don’t know better?”
He replied “that’s what’s funny.”
So I guess I'm really toxic🤣🤣 I don't understand how people can believe that those things are really in tattoo ink😬
I almost spit my coffee on the dihydrogen monoxide one. Got a stainless steel water bottle for the BIL last Christmas that had all kinds of warnings about the substance, including the fact that, if inhaled in quantity, would prove fatal.

As of 2021, the couple who had the Mother/Mother-In-Law interrupt their wedding ceremony are still married and have a kid. Friends said the mother/MIL only paid $100 for alterations on the dress, not 'for' the dress. The woman seen confronting Judy, is the brides mother telling her it's not 'her day.' The groom did say to his mom, "you can leave." There is a second part where the MIL waited for them to start taking photos outside the venue and started trash talking again. The brides sister said the MIL has always hated the bride, she's just one who feels she's taking her son away from her, so that....
The groom should have escorted his mother out the door.
She's angry that she couldn't marry him herself.
@@lynnyhen They should have known this would pop off as soon as she showed up in shorts....just saying

I told my MIL that my Mom was divorcing my Dad and my Mom will be moving in with my husband and I. She started crying because now she won't have a private room to sleep in when she visits. Then said we should build a room in our house for her so she can visit us at our expense. She only visits once a year. She didn't ask how my Mom or how I are feeling/doing. Just was worried how it will affect her.
That's where you say, "Oh, don't cry, there's a Holiday Inn a short distance away with private rooms at very cheap rates!"
They don’t care girl!!!! So it’s ur house n ur rules!!! Let her bark n don’t bother!!!
@@honolulublues5548 I did. LOL
I don't care if someone has 20 bedrooms... I don't feel people should just assume they can stay at someone's house when visiting from out of town because they are family. Let people INVITE you to stay. There is only one relative I know who would be offended if I didn't stay, even then I will make sure I have money for a hotel.
My MIL told us when we got engaged that if we went through with the wedding she would “never be able to welcome me into the family”. She then got super offended that we didn’t ask her to host the wedding, wrote a scathing letter to my parents, accusing them of being awful parents for supporting us and contributing $2000 to our wedding that we paid for ourselves, and refused to come to the wedding because we had “publicly humiliated her” by not having the wedding at her church.
Jeez, what a nightmare!

These monster-in-law stories always make me laugh because, while I am not married (too young), Both my grandmas were friends in high school and are still friends to this day. My parents met at the pizza place they worked at, and they all love each other. I just thought it would be nice to show that there are nice in-laws too.
A few weeks After my wedding, my husband and I were visiting his parents for a weekend. I was finishing up my thank-you notes to all the people from their hometown. They were all ready to be mailed but needed postage. My MIL offered to go to the post office on Monday, affix the stamps, and mail them for me. Fast forward SEVERAL YEARS later. I was again visiting my in-laws for a weekend. I needed a Sharpie and went to my MIL’s “office supply” drawer to find one. Shoved to the back of the drawer under a stack of papers WERE ALL MY THANK-YOU NOTES THAT HAD NEVER BEEN MAILED! My husband would not confront her and made me promise not to either. By then I had learned that his mother had no manners or sense of etiquette. Needless to say, we were never close (to put it mildly).
Why doesn't your husband want to confront her?! That's something serious!
@@RonJon4500 He is my ex now! He absolutely abhorred confrontation of any kind. I didn’t learn until after we were married that any time he questioned or confronted his father growing up, he was hit. It definitely affected him as an adult. He would never stand up for himself, me, or our children. I’m the opposite. Him not speaking to his mother about the unmailed notes was one of the nails in the coffin of our marriage.
@@sjfanning7711 I'm sorry to hear that. Thank goodness you got out when you did!

I cried in joy, when my son got married because I finally had a daughter.
Parents...here's the thing, ya raise your kids to lead their own lives. Partners aren't replacements, if anything as I was a sole parent, my thought... they make my own life easier add another person to offer love and support to the people I love most in my life.
Agreed!!!
I have three kids: two grown, one almost so. I can sort of understand the mindset, because watching your kid get their heart broken is beyond excruciating. And when they go through that, it can on some level be natural to be wary of their future choices in partners and what the fallout could be. But you just have to get over it, and I don’t understand why they won’t. Do they really think their kids will be better off growing old alone? Never finding love or the joys of a healthy relationship? I wouldn’t wish that on my worst enemy, let alone the children I brought into this world.
@@angelsinger4574 Of course it's heart wrenching...Ahhh but, it is part of the maturation process, one does not learn to navigate disappointments, loss yada if not given the opportunity to do so independently of external interference...Have found it's fine to ask questions of my grown kids, but find it's far more amiable all around if they are left to seeking their own answers.
@@janeguarnera7700 we're their guidance! Even us had bad relationships, our heart broken ( i've got in a depression after my first serious 2 years relantionship, because he was a jerk and playing with my mind to the point i wanted to kill myself) and yes we don't want that to our kids, but because of that we should know what to do in those cases 😉
And i really hope in the future to be a cool MIL, as for now i have 1 child and i love him so much 🙏
Self absorbed parents see their children as their property. There can only be one owner and since they have no intention of sharing.....
Today’s bridezillas are tomorrow’s monsters in law.
Never married, but my ex boyfriends mom told me as often as possible how the girls he brought home before meeting me was much cuter. One time it was because they were brunettes, another time it was because they had longer hair, next time it was them looking like hookers - "but nice hookers"... He never cared and was a mommys boy. Glad I ended it with him and his mother and found myself someone that loves me and has a caring family
Yes girl
Good for you, girl!
Nice hookers...? That sounds... oddly pleasant. Now I wanna find a hooker and take them to a nice lunch and conversation. I needs some friends in my life anyway.
Just out of curiosity; what do "nice hookers" look like? Are they well turned out wearing sharp business suits, or Gucci, Prada and Louboutins?
When I was pregnant with our first child my MIL overheard a conversation where I jokingly said that my husband should properly do some practicing changing diapers cuz the baby could come any minute at that point. MIL pull at face and said that there was no reason for him to learn how to change diapers since I always had to be there with the baby (because of breastfeeding) so I could just change the diapers since I was there anyway. I responded that I would like him to be able to help me with the baby and she said that asking my husband to change diapers was disrespectfulnand degranting and I shouldn’t treat him like that but be thankful of him... lucky my husband feels different and loves changing diapers now because of the 1 on 1 time he has with his son. ❤️❤️❤️😂 take that MIL
Sounds like she had some obsolete ideas about raising a child.
Are you from a country with a lot of sexism in the culture?
@@melissasaint3283 no that proberly the worst part, im from Denmark and here there are great equal rights for men and women. Here its frowened upon to be a stay at home mom, but MIL was and she treats her children as god on this earth. It ‘s so infuriating
@@melissasaint3283: Sounds like she is, although I had thought that Scandinavians were a bit beyond such Medieval thinking. Evidently, I was wrong.
@@jeanettemalenefriisdalgaar8531: It's a generational thing.
there's no problem with an awful mother inlaw. a problem only arises if the son/daughter is completely incapable of standing up to her. In that case you better run.
True
Agree
Yep, that's true.
Yes. I have a friend who's husband is like that w his mom and she's always upset and nothing gets better
There is every problem with an awful mother in law because you challenging them just gives them fuel to be even nastier. My friends MIL literally stopped her father in laws funeral...literally stopped it...to get up and walk over to my friend and and tell her to leave the funeral even as she held and consoled her husband, because she was not of the same faith and the MIL personally felt that it was disrespectful for her to be at the funeral. That's f----- up! I mean, was she supposed to get up and tell the MIL off at her husband's funeral?!? These monster in laws don't care. They get a rise out of you being upset because they feel they are winning the invisible war they've waged with you in their heads and unless you take the extreme step of demanding that your spouse never see his mom again or having him agree to that on his own, you're going to constantly have to deal with them.
That son was ridiculous not saying a thing to his mother after her outburst. If my hubby let his mother talk to me like that and stood there without so much as a word o would be walking the other way. Just a sign of things to come.
That’s what I was thinking, lol. He was a spineless twit to just stand there and do nothing. I think I’d have left them both sitting there.
Looks like another Matusiewicz Family for sure....
Agree.
Actually I believe it was clarified that the husband was frozen in an anxiety attack during his mom's outburst so he was panicking and couldn't move or say much due to it. Just goes to show the effect moms like this can have on their children
@@stormwright8300 Well OK, but that only makes walking out of the marriage MORE advisable for the bride. He's going to freeze in some kind of mental fugue-state every time she opens her big mouth? Outta here!
I'm Jewish, my ex-mother in law is a new born Christian, when my son was 3, she came to the Early Childhood my son attended and I was working at, on Hanukkah. She visited my son's class and as she was leaving she gave me an envelope. I thought "How nice to bring a small present to my son on Hanukkah". But no, it was a Christian pamphlet. Did I mention the Early Childhood was a Jewish one? #theaudacity.
My MIL once got very emotional with me because she resents me for having bonded with their cat, the cat she and FIL never bothered to interact with because ''well she never comes to us'' I started interacting with the cat and became her best friend. It wasn't hard, at all... She's still pissed about it.
Animals can sense evil in people. No wonder kitty stayed away from her.
I'm reminded of a line Morticia said in Addams Family Reunion. "Darling, you must understand, that to me, they are still in laws. Tradition clearly dictates I must despise them, regardless of my personal feelings."
My monster in law brought me ingredients to make a large dinner after I had my son. She brought over six people to see my new baby while I made the meal for all of them. I don’t know if anyone knows what it is like to be newly released from the hospital and suddenly have to stand up and make and serve a large meal, but my legs swole like balloons and... well... bleeding. Bad bleeding. It was awful. It was also my birthday. My husband had planned to go to my favorite restaurant and bring me a relaxing at- home meal and MIL knew about it, but to her it wasn’t tradition. That’s why she quickly intervened. She wanted me to host a meet the baby dinner and circumvented the plans without my input at all. I was young and felt pressured to comply. DH would not stand up for us and just let it happen. He did help with the dishes .Inwould tell her to suck eggs now that I am in my 30s. But I was in a very vulnerable state at the time and just did it. Ew
Did hubby ever learn to shine up his spine?
It wasn't your fault, girl, don't beat yourself up! Shame on her.
No judgment there girl coz I put up with my MIL for 5 freaking years and I was 29 when I got married!!! Not all of the MIL fight you face to face but behind you and in a subtle way
My MIL made me cook my joint family's breakfast the morning after I had a D&C procedure for my miscarriage the previous evening.
@@teithianhlun9833 I would have told her to "Get bent" and refused. Hope you don't have to see her anymore.
"Do it and I'll get you arrested" is the icing on cake on being a Karen in your son's wedding.
I thought the hilarious part was her showing up to her son’s wedding wearing shorts and looking like she was about to mow the lawn. Maybe she thought that “semi formal” meant wearing shoes. Terrific look for Mother of the Groom - was probably a tip-off that the s@%^t was going to hit the fan.
@@Lesleyantompyewtoob Semi-formal to her means wearing shoes to cover her hooves. Her formal attire is pufting in her teefs!
My MIL passed away 29 years ago but we got along great. Of course the only English word she knew was “hello”. She spoke only Thai and Chinese but she loved when I tried to speak in her language, no matter how awful I sounded. She was very sweet to me. His sister is a whole other issue, she’s a monster.
At my wedding reception my MIL got wasted, came out as a lesbian to the whole family, and let us know she was leaving FIL to move across the country to be with her online girlfriend. Her logic for doing it at my wedding? Everyone was there so she would only have to tell the story once. :P

On my 23rd anniversary, my mil called my husband to invite him to his 18 year old sister's wedding.... and informed him that I'm not invited and neither are our kids because "we aren't family."

Wow! Like everyone else, I have to know how this ended.
I have a monster grandmother-in-law story. When me and my wife got married my wife who had three dads, biological, step and the new husband of her mom, all came to the wedding. My GIL, who is very conservative, spent the whole reception telling anyone that her daughter was a "whore," and should have stayed with the first guy because that is what good Christians do.

@@jennevamadison3803 from what i understand he did stand up to my grandmother when she said that. My dad was a very loving husband and father. He made my mother very happy and provided very well for my sisters and I. After many years of marriage it became a joke within the family.
My boyfriend decided to ghost me because his mom didn’t like me after looking at me for 2 seconds, so it was great timing! Thanks, Char
Looks like you dodged a bullet there. Don’t give up until you find the one who adores you!
You dodged a bullet. It won't feel like it at first, but you did. If he won't stand up to his mother while y'all are dating & on your best behavior with each other, it will only get horrible as the marriage progresses.
You deserve better girl
He did you a favor. She would have made your whole relationship miserable.
Be grateful you found out how much power she has over him... You need a grown up man for a partner. And in time you will meet this partner and he will have YOUR back , even if he has to stand up against his mother.
My ex MIL is a piece of work. She always play the “poor me” card and the mamas boy my ex is, he of course gave her what she wanted. We bought her a new car. We bought his stepdad a truck. We put a new roof on their house. We even paid for her divorce and the trip across country (New Mexica to Vermont) for the stepdad to travel to the new girlfriend he had found, just to pay same trip back again a few months later because MIL and stepdad decided that they wanted to be together. Not to mention when my ex told his mom that him and I were going to get married, she told him that we could get married so I could come to America (I’m from Denmark) and then when i got my greencard we could get a divorce. We were married 18 years. We also had the weekly phone calls to ask for money so she could pay bills. It took my ex husband 15 years to finally tell her no, because he was now a disabled veteran and we couldn’t afford to supply her lifestyle anymore.
Now, THAT'S a roller coaster ride. I'm positive you're glad to be outta there. lol
@@shawnycoffman oh I am lol

so you two basically went into debt because his mother couldn't support her own lifestyle as a grown woman? that's just pathetic on her part..happy you're out of that situation.
I can honestly say that when me and my ex got hitched I had no such thing as a monster-in-law. His parents were such lovely people and I couldn't have asked for better in laws, honestly. They were one of the few things I missed about him after we divorced. I don't know if they're still around but if they are I hope they're doing OK.
Me too, I kept the in-laws in our divorce!
Same Jean! I’m am a Bond through and through. I love my MIL and she me. The family welcomed me with open arms 15 years ago when we got married and has been wonderful ever since. I feel very blessed and fortunate! We are still married that is the diff in our stories. 😊

@@lenkacfk7155 sadly, I don't know if they are still with us and I don't have their home number any more (if they're still living they migh have switched to mobiles and got rid of their landline, like so many other people). My ex remarried after we divorced and also has a child with his wife. By all accounts she was in tears when me and him split up. I did get in touch a couple of times in the early times after our split but this is back in the early noughties. I can still honestly say though, hand on heart, that his parents are/were both lovely and amazing people. I say that I don't know if his parents are still living because both of my own parents are deceased and I don't think the age gap between my folks and his was that huge.
I actually was at a wedding in Italy. In the backyard of an old house. They had deep-fried zucchini blossoms, spring lamb, a compote of figs from the neighbor's garden. And garlic in everything.. This was a wedding that was innately classier than anything I have been to before or since, and they don't even have a gas stove. They have a fire in the corner of the kitchen and a hole in the corner of the roof. (They did rent special equipment for the deep frying.)
Half the house is inaccessible because of an earthquake. These people were just innately more elegant than Americans could ever be. The couple escaped in a Fiat that has hidden in the garden shed for 50 years.
Brother's first marriage:
She drove everyone away with a crappy attitude. Had moved him multiple times because she made every landlord super angry, once before they even moved in. Had him buy two new cars, got the legal marriage done so she could use his insurance to get stomach surgery (and then still ate too much against her doctor's advice), chose the colors for the groomsmen, just HAD to have a silk carpet rolled out on a mechanism that no one knew how to work before she came down the aisle and instead of flower girls wanted to have Bell girls screaming 'The Bride is coming, the bride is coming'.
My professional photographer aunt was chastised for 'not doing it the way she wanted' despite doing the wedding for free. The Best Men hated her, my father had to hold my mom in place when the 'speak now or forever hold your peace' moment came up. I had already nicknamed her 'The Tumor'.
The 'rehearsal' for the wedding was essentially 30 minutes before, so nothing was coordinated. We dressed quickly after, tried to get the sound system working, and had to delay with the silk carpet because the other groomsman and I working it were having to figure out just how to pull the cords out to release the roll. When the bell girls started coming out the bells drowned out their voices (the wedding march was still playing on the speakers for some reason) and so it all sounded like some sort of chaotic announcement of the gates of hell opening. Spurred me to lean forward to the best man whispering 'All beware! The Beast has arrived and all hope is lost! Repent! Repent! 1000 years of darkness starts now! Your judgement hath come!' He fought to not burst out laughing. Good guy.
She couldn't even let my brother and his grooms-party sing a song alone. Had to come steal that thunder, too. 0/10. Would not attend again. Would score lower, but meeting my brother's people was good times.
When my husband was going through a divorce, his mom told his ex to take him to the cleaners 🤦♀️. Years later, his dad was dying of cancer and all the kids were visiting him more than they normally would. I was talking with her on the phone one day and the topic came up (they were divorced for over 20 years at this point) and she said she couldn’t wait until he died so the attention was back on her. I told her that was a real Christian like thing to say (she was an elder in her church), she got mad a hung up on me. I didn’t shed a tear when she passed away.

And another little story on my MIL. When I was pregnant with her first grandchild, I was on bed rest. Pregnancy was really hard on my body and my son and I almost died twice while I was pregnant. Anyways she came over, and very loudly from the next room asked my hubby if she was gonna have to teach the trailer trash how to clean and do dishes...?

I'm probably a rarity because I lucked out with a great mother in law! She's there with advice when asked and never interferes with our relationship. She's absolutely supportive, kind and caring. ❤ I can't imagine having to deal with any of the MIL's in these videos!
Same here! I've dealt with a "MIL", but not as actually married, just as girlfriend and boyfriend (for many years). Oh my god, I NEVER want to go through that again. She was worse than most of these in the video... I'm glad I wasn't married and had her as an actual MIL! When the time eventually came I was so happy to get away from her. My current one is a DREAM.
They aren't rare. It's the few that spoil the bunch. My FIL is a jerk, but he is to everybody. My MIL always put me before herself. When I went through chemo, she insisted that my wife and I move in her house (at the time, we lived in a third story apartment and she felt it would be too much to climb after treatment, she was right!), She put a recliner in a bedroom next to a bed so I could sleep in the chair (the only thing comfortable to me) and my wife could sleep in the bed next to me instead if being in two different rooms. She cooked meals that were bland to everybody, but much needed for chemo patients. Lastly, she didn't accept any payments for us staying there. To me, she was one of a kind.
I'm a mother in law. Never interfered. Never gave advice. Sometimes not even when asked, because advice when partners are angry with each other always boomerangs back onto MIL. I still get the "hate" from Son in law, and I truly don't understand why. I've only ever been welcoming and pleasant on the rare occasions he used to visit. That goes for any of my kids' partners/husbands or wives. I've kept my trap shut, I've kept out of arguments, and I've been there to help if needed, and I still get bad attitude. One of my daughter's mother in law is an alcoholic, can't be trusted to look after the grandkids, and is abusive when drunk. Which is often. But she's okay? How does that work?
@@Kayenne54 Sorry, you’ve had a hard time.
Same!!! 🙏🤗👍
2 stories about different MILs at our wedding....
My MOM'S MIL( not my gma. My mom remarried) told our DJ to stop playing a song at repection because is was not suitable for a wedding. My husband had made the whole playlist. Song was Never met a girl like you before by Flogging Molly. I was so pissed because I barely knew this woman and had only invited her because my mother had wanted her to come.
Secondly my fiance and I only wanted a small simple wedding...save the money for the honeymoon😉. We had our wedding at a local nature park and we just set up an area for me to get ready there. Well day of my cousin/bridesmaid was helping me get ready and we had to walk to my car to get something. We get to my car and a lady who apparently my soon to be MIL invited without asking us, asked me for a ride to the dollar general. My cousin and I just looked at each other like wtf. My cousin then turned to her and was like we are trying to get her ready for her WEDDING no we can't run you to the store. I was so mad that MIL had invited her because neither my fiance or I really knew this lady she was just some random friend of his mom's. Then when wedding and reception was over miss I need a ride takes like 5 plates of food home. I couldn't believe it.
My MONSTER-in-law sent me a book shortly after marrying her son: The Mother-in-law dance: can two women love the same man and still get along?
No joke. She cray 🤪
Eeeeeek that's a big nope! 🤦♀️
Yikes
Evidently, she didn't understand the difference between the loves. Either that, or the MIL had some incestuous desires.
Yikes
Ewwwww
Popular Opinion: Every single one of ya'll agrees that CHAR made our Day Better:
@yuriel cundangan No they don’t. She has two 👎 …so obviously not everyone’s day was made better. But thank you for letting us know what our opinion is.
I really needed to laugh this morning. She's content is awesome. Nm the haters.
Agreed
Fuckin A!
She is awesome, and I look forward to her videos.
The MIL at the "paid for the dress", wedding with the Chris Watts vibe, could have spent a wee bit on fancier shorts!
eewww............ such a Watts vibe. eewww.. Although I think it would be the MIL to be a *"Christina"* Watts. Her son would not swat a mosquito.
Nail on the head.
She actually didn't even pay for the dress. She covered $100 of the alterations...that's it
There are pencil shavings in the bottom of the "coffee grinder".
Ikr? I don’t drink coffee, but I can’t imagine that would taste good. Just the smell of old pencil shavings is gross!
If ever I become a spy I will use that as a recognition code.
@@darrenrobinson9041 😂😂👏🏻👏🏻
My husband gets along with my parents so well. He doesn’t talk to his family and calls my parents mom and dad. I got the crazy in laws but he doesn’t talk to them so in a way it works out 😂😂
Similar story here. My folks are helping my hubby heal from parental trauma. Toxic parenting is a major issue.
My in-laws did the same for me. They actually had an unofficial adoption ceremony in their living room. I finally know what it is to be a valued and loved family member. One of the greatest gifts I'll ever receive is when I made phone calls to MIL's many friends, most of whom I'd never met. When I introduced myself to people I'd never met, they all knew me. They all told me she talked about what a wonderful person I am, and how lucky they felt to have me in the family. My new parents couldn't have been more accepting of their lesbian daughter and her wife. We aren't religious at all, but Mom & Dad were two wonderful Christians who expressed their faith quietly through loving actions. I miss them so much, but I can still feel their loving presence whenever I think about them. I wish all those professing to be 'christian' would do it in a less hate-filled and judgy way.
"hurt my daughter, I'll chop it off"
Love the way your expression changes from psycho to friendly mom. You just personify somebody's nightmare.
My niece wasn't allowed to open gifts and nobody got cake at her wedding. Her mother-in-law packed it all up and took it back to her house. None of our family was allowed to go there. SHE opened all the gifts then told my niece what she could and couldn't keep. My sister was beyond PISSED!
WHAAAA ... ??!!
So you're saying she kept some of the wedding gifts for herself? And neither the groom or anybody else had enough courage to call her out for stealing from her own family?
She called the police to report the theft of her cake and gifts, right? RIGHT?
@@AV-we6wo no, she told me niece what to keep and what to get rid of. My niece spent the day in tears, I think she was just to emotionally spent to say anything.
@@AnneWilkynson I don't like my niece, she's a spoiled, entitled brat, but this was not deserved.
My dad's second wife was really weird about toilet paper. She always had a large stash (at least 2 Sam's/Costco sizes at all times) because she grew up poor and they would never have toilet paper. I can only imagine how crazy she went at the beginning of the pandemic lol.
My dad actually has something similar, but it's with canned food. My grandparents grew up in the UK during WWII as farmers, and sometimes food was really scarce to come by for them. So, when they came to America in the 50's, they made sure to freeze anything they could, lived off of very little while working 3 jobs, and so on. Once my dad grew up and made a good living, he started helping out my grandparents because they really did deserve it, they're awesome people. But my dad still only bought canned food, he freezes everything, and he saves everything he can food-wise.
My mom does this but with, like, gift wrapping and what not. She grew up actually dead poor, so I think she just hordes clothes and gift bags because of it.
No joke, my mom collects printed toilet paper. It started two years ago when a local shop sold cute tp with teddy bears on it. My mom is a pretty cheap person, probably due to her growing up pretty poor.
I wanted to put the last two rolls of printed paper beside our toilet. It was still in the plastic wrapper in our shelf and I wanted to declutter it.
She was pretty insulted by it, how dare I put the last two rolls of printed toilet paper to use? It is for special occasions only
I find that sad, rather than entitled though.
A lot of my older relatives grew up during the Great Depression when everything was rationed. So they always have a stockpile of supplies in case of an emergency
I miss my mother in law so much. She was like a mother to me at a time when I had a horrible relationship with my own mother. I was only nineteen when I got married and she taught me so much. She and my grandmother helped me in so many ways. I don’t understand some of these terrible in laws. Don’t they want to foster a wonderful life for their own child? They’re terribly selfish, immature people.
My MIL and I had a VERY rough start because I'm her son's second marriage and step mother to her grandchildren. But now we're sooo much better. She realized that her son and grandkids are my world and finally saw me as part of her family. I love her and we get along great now.
the first time we visited my husband's parents after the wedding, my mother in law grabbed my husband as we walked in the front door and said "dont forget, no woman will EVER love you like I love you! You belong to me first, HER second!
@@OneCatShortOfCrazy double that. Also, ewwwwww!
My MIL told me our wedding day was the worst day of her life. Her son was in his early 40's/never married, and she clearly wanted to keep it that way.
My mother in law said, the night before my wedding that she would like to throw me in the lake on my wedding day. Then laughed about it, evil laughing. We have been through some rough times, she's kinda insane, I have many stories! Now we are really good friends, I call her a lot for advice or just to chat. I can relate to her more now that I'm older, I'm kinda insane. Lol
Every time you do a mother in law video I count my blessings because mine is a literal Saint. I love her so much and I'm so thankful because it could be so much worse.
I can FINALLY talk about my ex MIL : I was with my ex for 12 years, we have 4 kids together and im a bit "antisocial" but im always nice to family but she didn't like me i don't know why, probably the goth part anyways i left him 4 years ago and now he has a new girlfriend and my kids told me " grandma doesn't like tania " 🤣 and now when i see her she is super nice to me and my ex actually told me that she misses me 🤣 ( my ex is not gonna be with his gf for long, all she does is complain ) anyways how SATISFYING that my ex MIL was wrong and she missed me 🤣
My mother-in-law came to my impromptu wedding, but no one else in my family or my husband's family came. Oh the narcissist, it was perhaps petty perfect. In front of an old jail at the center of an old town, my husband and I dressed as Lydia and he as Beetlejuice, plus the ordained minister in a cloak, on Halloween 2021. And Maleficent was my maid of honor. I could see my new MIL's skin boiling.
I get that everyone is “entitled” to their own opinion blah blah…. But *who are these plebs that keep disliking Charlotte’s vids!?* 😒

I was engaged 2 years ago to someone I loved in my teen years and I loved him later on too despite his brain injuries from a motorbike accident and his mum started disliking me the day he ate my cooking and said infront of his mum "this is the best food ive ever eaten" and he'd started coming to me if he'd been upset or wanted something and I guess his mum couldn't handle it because 2 weeks later she made life hell there and one day I get a text saying its over. I tried seeing him again but his mum threatened to call the police if he didn't come home because apparently im a threat?? I was a threat to his compensation and her getting full control she means.

I presume that MIL has never owned a dishwasher. Neither have I, and so I'd probably stack it all wrong too...
but at least most of us would understand that the water has to be able to reach all surfaces, inside and out.
@@franl155 I neved knew either, just realised where the water splashes in
My dishwasher is my partner's hands and the sink.
@@pablodelsegundo9502 it would be great that you do the dishes once in s while. Remember,your partner would be grateful for a little time off from cleaning
@CrazyCat Lady you probably right about Pablo. It's nice to have someone to assist you when you can't do it yourself. When my kiddos were little I was single mom. I had my parents to help me but they couldn't always be there. My kids are here for me now,they are 21 and 22 y/o.
MIL = *Mephistopheles Impersonating a Loudmouth*
well, at least mine. Which is why I have not seen her since 12-24-2019.
*What a relief!*
I would've preferred my MIL to my own mother. Unfortunately my MIL passed away a year ago. When we were compiling a list of potential wedding guests we decided that each one of our parents could invite up to 5 couples or 10 individuals. My mom started making demands because she felt like 10 spots wasn't enough for her to invite everyone she's ever met in the 50+ years she's been alive. I told her no, if she wanted to invite more than 10 individuals it would cost her $117 per person and she could only invite 2 more (for a total of 12). I refuse to let her have her way. She tends to force people into letting her do what she wants. I didn't want my fiancé to be put in an awkward position.
If I ever get married again, I want Charlotte to be at my wedding. Yes, it'll be open bar 😂
... And THIS is why my wife & I removed the 'objection' part of the wedding vows. It was already bad enough to have to pay my mother to attend, but we could see she was just waiting for that part of the vows. Oh well... Sucks to be her. Well, it did suck until she passed away.
We had 2 in the family... a sister in law and a mother in law, we called them both dragon in law, the curly one (later her nickname was poodle from hell) and the old one...
My sister in law was called "Her Royal Anus" because she was so entitled.
Lol good one!
My M-I-L told me that over her dead body would I marry her son, and that we would never last more than a year. We are on our 25th year of marriage. And we are friends now. I asked her about it one day, and she told me that she saw me as being just like her and wanted someone better for her son. It was sweet in a twisted way. Happy Anniversary, baber! (I love you more, so there! )
3:47 The way she grabs his hands to comfort him is so sweet.
That MIL has NOTHING on my mom!! We have a two car garage....we can't park 2 cars in our 2 car garage because my mother has filled HALF OF OUR 2 CAR GARAGE WITH TOILET PAPER AND PAPER TOWELS!!! That's right everyone...my mom caused the TP shortage single handedly!!! 🙄
Garlic Mash: Is anyone on the guest list a vampire? No? Go with the yummy garlic mash.
The borrowed garter is from a long time tradition that the bride should have something old,something new, something borrowed and something blue. As for the MIL not liking SIL job mine kept asking my wife when I was going to quit working retail and go to a factory and get a real job.
One of my in-laws made fun of my vocational degree. I made more money than my husband with it, but yeah, yuk it up. 🙄
I borrowed a necklace...not a garter. In my opinion, yuck
Forgot I had my headphones all the way, clicked your video, "HEY EVERYBODY" at 100% volume hits differently.
Charlotte: “I’m never getting married. I’m just gonna be the cool aunt.”
Me after watching one of her newest video with Mike: 😏
Oh girl. My MIL.... GIRL! This woman cancelled my beautiful white marquees with billowing silk hangings from the "rafters"... And borrowed a bunch of green striped umbrellas in their place. I didn't know until I got to the reception. THEN we're well in to the UGLY reception when my now husbands ex girlfriend arrives. She was invited by MIL. This woman. Ugh. We have no real contact with her and literally moved to the other side of the country.
I don't understand companies who have a contract with "person A" and then "person B" just rings up and cancels it, and it doesn't occur to the company to check back with "person A".
@@darrenrobinson9041 We made it clear to every person we spoke to, from the priest to the coordinator for the reception venue to the florist that NO one had permission to even get information about our plans, much less adjust them.
My MIL is the kind of person who would spot a friend of ours at the supermarket, after having met him only once briefly two years before, and practically grab him in an aisle and start telling him about how "we all need to work together" to convince me to do or not do something, like re-renovate a room she didn't care for, or NOT use cloth diapers JUST IN CASE I was considering that.
She has boundaries like wet tissue paper.
Also, her taste is "baroque" (she once rag-rolled almost her entire house in shimmery gold paint, and always has gigantic oversized statement pieces, so large they make even a huge room look cramped)
So there was just **no way** we were going to risk it.
The wedding made her and her husband go into insanity overdrive in multiple ways.
For example, they wanted to see and edit our guest list, and tried to demand the right to invite 21 people (with a plus one for each, so 42 people) to our reception.
Keep in mind that
1. Venue only held around 90 people
2. Husband and I both have large families and had already invited ALL of them. This wasn't a case where we were forgetting old uncle Bill by any means.
The invites they demanded were for people we weren't related to and, aside from maybe three, did not even know.
3. They were not paying one thin dime towards any part of the wedding!
😂😂😂
Ahh, yes I see, but....I'm sorry, that's just not going to be possible.
The fit that ensued was epic and lasted months.
She wore black to the wedding, but as we had already given my Mom permission to wear a beautiful shimmery dark grey dress, instead of a shocking protest it only looked like an elegant color coordination.
Bwomp Bwomp!
@@melissasaint3283 You have top-notch executive skills!
My MIL once insisted my house was infested with fleas. When my response was, basically, "WTF are you talking about?!" She smugly pointed to the front porch light, outside, that had a couple gnats flitting around it. She didn't believe me when I told her those gnats were not, in fact, fleas flying around outside.
"But Mom-in-law, if they're outside, then the fleas are fleeing!"
I had a nice wedding and my cousin Carlyn was the maid of honor. We practically lived together . All was well until she was having a wedding a year or so later . I was asked to be maid of honor and went dress shopping . She wanted gold dresses for MOH and bridesmaids . So when I bought the dress and took it to her house to try it her reaction surprised me. She started crying because it looked too good on me . Next thing I know I'm kicked completely out of the wedding party . I ask why and they lied and said their (religious) officiant said I was too "worldly" to be in the wedding party. Mind you, the bride and groom had being having premarital sex and oral for years...they weren't innocent little angels. I asked him and he didn't know what I was talking about. It broke my heart. She was my only friend . My best friend and cousin. I would have never done that to her for all the money in the world. I had to realize how much she despised me and it hurt. Because I loved her dearly. Every friend that I have loved dearly has treated me this way.. Jealousy is a terrible sickness that destroys lives and families. Don't let it run your life.
The only silver lining? At least you know that you're amazingly hot...
That sucks, but there is no way that absolutely every single friend you have had has mistreated you. Sometimes we do things that are our fault and don't realize or want to acknowledge. And if you find yourself constantly having that one friend that does mean things, I would definitely reconsider how I let friends into my life. Sometimes we follow the same patterns.
I was at walmart making a return and I made some small talk about toilet paper, as one does with strangers. And she told me that people returned a lot of toilet paper a few months after they bought it. I said, "its TP at some point they will use it." She said she asked and a lot of them told her they needed the money and/or didn't have anywhere to store it.
At my wedding my (now ex) husband's mother was going around telling everyone that it wasn't the real wedding, and there would be a huge elaborate wedding sometime in the future. we had a small intimate wedding with mostly direct family and some close friends who were like family. It was exactly what we wanted, but his parents were very materialistic and felt like they had to keep up appearences by lying about a bigger more expensive wedding to make up for what they deemed as pathetic. Oh the stories I could tell about my experiences with his mother... one that stands out the most though was she gave me a copy of Dr Spock's baby raising book the day after I had lost our baby. It was just like a salty knife in the very fresh wound. Plus who uses parenting books from the 70s these days?
Went to a friends wedding and as I was eating breakfast, saw a woman walk past dressed all in black including a black short veil. I thought, how sad she must be going to a funeral, nope it was my friends to be MIL. Also her speech at the reception was all about how much success her husband and her had achieved in their lives, we were so shocked we didn’t know what to do when she finally finished.
The "die" cake piece was hilarious, although I don't think I would've had the courage to eat it!
I feel like we need more heartwarming stories about MILs. Mine insisted I come shopping with her so she "wouldn't embarrass me" (I wouldn't have cared what she wore) and then asked me to go to the outlets the day after Thanksgiving...ya know Black Friday. Well she had never heard of it and was absolutely shocked how many people were out shopping. 🤣
I must side with MIL on the garlic mashed potatoes. Not because it might ruin an elegant wedding, but because garlic is one of the ingredients that you either love or can't stand. And personal experience - if you take some medication (like chemotherapy) or you are pregnant, the strong smell of garlic is a sure way to send you running to the nearest toilet bowl (or in a worse case, a flower pot). For an event like a wedding, I would suggest choosing more neutral flavors. Or at least contacting all your guests and asking if they don't have a problem with it (that can change though, with a sudden illness or pregnancy, if you plan the food a long time ahead).
It wasn’t my mother in law but on my husband’s side his cousin from CA came down for the wedding, missed the rehearsal dinner because she wanted to go shopping and took my soon to be in laws car without asking. She was so disrespectful when she was told to come back for the dinner. We allowed her to stay in our room and use our bed. After returning from the wedding our room was a mess and she used ALL of our shampoo and conditioner in our bathroom!!! She was there one night and the bottles were 32 oz. oh did I forget to mention after we said I do, she gave me a hug and whispered in my ear, “ you better be good enough for him”. Oh I’m sorry maybe if you were actually at the dinner you would have gotten to know me… and your welcome for using OUR room and all of our products… Bit**
Why are these women even invited to the wedding? If their son doesn't end that behaviour then he needs to grow a spine before getting married
It's more than likely that these people would make their lives actual hell if they're not invited to the wedding. If they're not invited, but everyone else is, they'll make everyone believe they're being discriminated against and that the spouse of their child is toxic and awful and they're the real victim here.
That's more than likely why. When I get married, I know my mom and my fiance's parents will HAVE to be invited, because that'll happen to us on both ends if we don't do it.
Some people don't even realise. I mean your mom could be "such an angel" to you and you think your future wife/husband is overreacting for no reason till on the wedding your mom can't hold it back no more and screams in front of you
Well, he has two dominating women in his life. He was a momma's boy and he found a woman to act just like her. Both women acted childish. The bride should have ignored the MIL when saying her vows. If the MIL persisted, that's when someone else other than the bride should make her leave. It'd be nice if it was the groom, but that wasn't going to happen.
It's obvious that the relationship between the bride and MIL has been this fiery for some time. It probably was the norm in the family.
The offer of the garter was so she'd have something borrowed, to satisfy "something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue" :)
My mil is like the best ever! She made my wedding dress(she's a designer and seamstress!) and it was beautiful! And she payed like 50% of our wedding, with me working my ass off to pay the rest, as my own mom didn't do Jack shit.. She just bought 80% alcohol and drank the whole thing and didn't even care about doing anything.. I've got a lot of more awful stories about her, but I refrain from telling them anymore, because after many years of therapy, I've healed from it all.. But I was bitter before and hated her so much.. Now, I don't even care.. She just isn't in my life anymore.. She doesn't get to see our 3kids,and what I've heard, they're her only grandchildren, so it's her loss, not ours... ❤️
Charlotte - Thank you so much for saying Aunt not ANT - you made my Sunday. From one Cool Aunt to another
3/3 I’m so sorry to write a THIRD comment… But my monster in law made my wedding such a mess it I was so disappointing. Along with the ugly napkins she “gifted” us, She also told us that the main part of our gift would be that she would be singing during the ceremony. Most would think this is a lovely gesture however we did not feel quite that way. She chose three songs in addition to the music I had already picked and the flautist that I had hired. One of her songs what is the Lords prayer. It would’ve been absolutely lovely if she could sing. It was so awkward when her voice cracked several times and the other two songs were so long they went on and on and on. This was not something that we wanted, but we felt that it would have been rude to tell her no. To this day I wish I would have stuck to my guns. She also chose to have a priest from her church preside over our wedding service that took place in the church I grew up in. I was baptized there, confirmed and my child was Also baptize there. The Priest that she chose again as a favor/gift, also happen to be a friend of hers. A long portion of our ceremony/vows was filled with stories about my then husband as a child and young man and personal stories about him growing up. Unfortunately, there was barely any mention of me. Not to be selfish, but after all… It was kind of my special day. I’ve got so many horror stories I could probably right several more posts, but I will spare you all. It is nice to hear that I am not alone in having to deal with a very overbearing controlling scary and difficult monster in law. As I stated in a previous post, the marriage did not last however, she is still one of my child’s grandmothers so I do my best to bite my tongue and be civil. At one point, I had to tell her if she couldn’t get her drinking under control she would no longer be able to have visits with my son. She then threatened to pull his college fund that she opened before my son was born. Of course I was grateful that she did that for my son, but to threaten to take it away from him was very rude and hurtful. I told her That she would need to be sober if she wanted to be around my son and she could take the money and basically put it where the sun does not shine.

I’m thinking of going public after 2 years of cutting off my entitled monster in law.
Do!
I’d love to hear it lol
Lol do it. I just did but only a veeeeery small bit of it. It's cathartic. Fr tho, I think if I spilled all the tea I'd need valium afterwards 😖
DO IT.
congrats on cutting her off, i hope it's turned out to be an amazing decision for you two! i hope to see your posts on reddit (and hopefully these videos) if you do decide to go public! it is definitely therapeutic to get it all typed out
I’m so beyond thankful my mother in law was nothing like this. She was such a wonderful woman. She passed away unexpectedly 5 years ago and I miss her a lot.
Lol that tattoo bit is hilarious. Personally I don't have any but I often admire other people's. There is a tattoo parlor up the road from where I work and from what I've seen they do really good work. An old lady who lives across from them hates it and thinks it s sinful and keeps writing them letters telling them to stop (good luck with that, I'd say at least half the people I serve have tattoos and are just calm, nice people). The shop promptly got so annoyed they posted all of her letters on the front of the window. There is nothing she can do about it but a lot of people find it funny.
Lol, I laughed at the garlic mashed potatoes one. It reminded me of when my husband and I were planning our wedding, and the food was buffet style. On of the standard options was those little party meatballs, which I actually like. My mother in law, before I could express that I actually like those, says, “Oh, absolutely not, those are so tacky!” I’m not someone who deals with confrontation well, and since it wasn’t anything that important, I just left it alone, but I’ve always wondered why she had such strong feelings about party meatballs🤷🏻♀️🤣
