Alrighty well I've never liked OR gotten along with my mother-in-law but she has truly pushed me over the edge this time. My daughter Aeryn has a cousin (my hubby's sister's daughter) whos exactly six months older than her. Now she has always treated my hubby like s**t while worshipping his younger sister(well half-sister). And now she has told me she doesnt love our daughter nowhere near as much. So what do I do or say?

Thank god it aint her you married!
Advice I will give you is to not let her upset you or try to get between you and your hubby.
I've got a slight problem with my future father-in-law. Now as much as he himself, my fiance and my fiance's sister say he likes me, I don't get that vibe. I have always been pretty good knowing when someone really does like me. He pretty much said he doesn't like the idea of me being with his son (this was when we announced we were engaged) and sure as hell did NOT like the idea when we told him I was pregnant (though after what he said when we told him we were engaged, I was beaming with happiness inside). Most recently though, I had to take Kyra into hospital as she had suffered from a febrile convulsion (fever fit) and had to stay overnight. Rich (my fiance) gave his dad a ring and his carer answered the phone (don't ask, long story). Well half hour later his dad called him back and said one of his carers is with his mother (understandable, his mothers ill) and the other one (who was the one who answered the phone) was 'too ill.' Now I don't give a damn that he had a sick note saying he was too ill to drive. My nan had a stroke a few months before Kyra was born and SHE was able to make the journey with my grandad driving all the way from London to Colchester general hospital to come and pick me up! That put an end to me even trying to be pleasant to my fiance's dad.

Basically what I'm saying is, she can say what she wants, do what she wants, but YOU are the one who married her son, had a child with her son, NOT with her. If you and your hubby are happy, then ignore the old wench. She's only trying to upset you and yes, I can understand it might and has, but it sounds like she can't let her son go to any girl and wants him as a mama's boy. Stay strong. And if you haven't already, talk to your hubby. Though I don't suggest giving him an altimatum of 'it's either me or your mum'. Really doesn't solve anything.

Lux911; I'm really sorry to hear that about your real mum in law, I hope she gets better, if there's a chance she can.

Luckily, I don't have to contend too much with my mother in law. She and I get along fine, even though I get annoyed sometimes by the fact that she has no idea how to manage money. I just feel sorry for Ted having to deal with my mom. She used to hit on him and we're worried she's going to try to take over the baby's life. She's already pissed because we've decided not to take the baby to religious services of any kind until she's old enough to understand that kind of thing for herself. And she's mad because we aren't going to let the baby spend the night with her alone. (Well, what does she expect? She was neglectful and abusive to my siblings and me. )

I don't really have any advice for you--but I'll share that I'm terribly worried about having my fiance's parents involved with my child's upbringing. Not only do we NOT get along, the reason for that is because they are overbearing, hardcore religious folks, and they've messed up their own lives so horribly, but that doesn't come close to stopping them from doling out advice (when no one asks for it) that's so self-righteous that it's sickening.

I'm planning on raising my child with absolutely NO religious upbringing to allow them to make an informed decision by themself when older.

If his parents try to change that, we're gonna have serious problems. scream

So Angelique's mother and father are very very religious, homophobic and racist. Basically narrow-minded dumbasses. Thanks to them Angelique's moving and I'm not sure if I'll see her or Marissa (our not yet born kid) ever. sweatdrop

When I say something, they basically quote a bit from the bible (or they make it up and pretend it comes from the bible, I don't know) and shut me up with it because I have no idea what they're trying to say. One day I was so sick of them I called them Nazis and not long after that they put their house up for sale. sweatdrop
Angelique can think for herself. Sbe believes there's a God, but she doesn't believe in the bible because it's man-made (you go girl! whee ).

But yeah, that's not going to get me to see her again. Ideas? sweatdrop

Does she have internet? That's probably the best way for you to keep in touch for now. If she doesn't have internet at her home, the majority of public libraries have internet access. Both of you start saving up money so you can move in together once you're both 18.

She does not have internet and she respects her parents enough to do what they say as long as they're within reason.

I saw her in the shopping centre not too long ago, but she was with her mum so I couldn't go and talk to her. She did see me, we had eye-contact. ninja

I am saving money, but I don't know if she is. sweatdrop My boyfriend has a house fully payed for so in an extreme case we could probably stay with him for a while.

Wow. I would confront her and giver her a piece of my mind. If she doesn't love your child then she doesn't deserve andy love back. Just ignore what she says because you don't need that and your baby doesn't need that either. Luckily my future mother-in-law has become a good friend who has helped me out alot.

So UPDATE on the MIL situation. It is MUCH MUCH better now. SHe's a little more tolerale now since the wedding. I guess she's fiinally come to the conclusion that I'm not going ANYWHERE. MUAHAHAHAHAHA. *ahem* Also the fact that we just moved to our new place and it's 15-20 minutes away and she is too lazy to drive out here and vice versa along with MASSIVE gas prices, we rarely see each other =3.
