Quoting edelweiss23:

I am not fond of mine, but she would never know.  My husband doesn't even know that I am not overly fond of his mother.  I don't care for her because she is always bad mouthing my husband to me.  He is never good enough for  her, she bitches that he doesn't call her enough(he's deployed and can't), she says he will never amount to anything, told me he shouldn't have married me, he could have done better then me, says my daughters will never be family(from my first marriage),  I could go on and on.  It hurts me to hear her talk to badly about her own child.


I couldn't take any more of her if I were you. She is a bitch and since you never told your husband how she is she knows she can keep getting away with it. I hope you at least tell your husband when he is home for good that she says you aren't good enogh for him and how your kids will never be part of her life. Good Luck to you. You sound like you need it from her

This exactly!

 My mil is ok. I don't dislike her but she tends to get on my nerves lol. She's the type of person who thinks because she raised 3 kids she knows best about raising kids. And she seems to think I should agree with her with everything lol. Most of the time I just smile while doing a mental eye roll lol. But I can tell there is going to come a time where I am going to have to tell her she had her chance to raise her kids the way she wanted and its my time to do the same. Things she felt ok letting her kids do I just don't feel the same way about.

Thanks!

My husband knows a little of it, but not the crappy stuff she says about him.  He is an awesome guy and a wonderful husband and father.  She is just a bitter person.  I refuse to let her get to me!  I kill her with kindness and as my dad has always told me " Living well is the best revenge"!!!

 Lol. Sometimes I wish she was a little bitchier about her approach so I could just say my peace and not feel bad about it lol.

Ha ha! I know what you mean. My mil gives these disapproving looks that make me want to smack her lol.
She's done every old fashioned now proven bad technique(baby cereal in bottles,tummy to sleep,&etc)and thinks since her 3 survived I should do it that way too!

 I have neither like or dislike for her.  I've tried to be a part of her life,she doesnt want me to be... I have had to strangle the drama llama a few times with the truth.. she choses to no be active in her sons or her grandchildrens life.
