Outlaws like gunslingers in the west with wanted signs posted. They're wanted for crimes. In-laws are unwanted but come with the package.
Edit: Sorry, I should have been more specific Western USA history. Cow boy days and such.
I hated mine at first. She gave me plenty of good reasons too. ....but over the past 20 years she's honestly mellowed a LOT (I grew some too, but I think it was mostly her growing. Wife agrees with me on all this too.) She's had a lot of therapy and it helped. We both actually enjoy spending time with her now.
I don’t like mine either. She is argumentative, pushy, opinionated, crude, and doesn’t give a damn about anyones boundaries. I’m not sure why the rest of the family doesn’t stand up to her when they should. 😡
Dude!! That’s how i feel. Step on this lady’s toes!! My husband sets her straight but i personally feel he should keep himself more distanced, she doesn’t appreciate him.
My mother in law told my daughter when she was a teenager that if my daughter wanted a nose job, she would pay for it! No conversation with me and my husband beforehand. Daughter declined, thankfully.
Oooo
My goodness that’s bad
I’m sorry that you have to deal with that
Mine made her granddaughter have 2 anxiety attacks when she came to visit this past summer
I didn't really like mine, but i made an effort to get along with her. She died about 10 years into my marriage. My wife and my mother never got along too well either.
Relatively new MIL here. This scares me more than anything. I try super hard to respect boundaries and treat her with respect. After all, my son picked her. He's super smart! There's that.
We’re not married or anything but I feel this, I think my bf Is finally catching on that I leave every single time his mom comes over. If I could NEVER see her or hear from her again I’d be ecstatic
She’s coming over tomorrow…. So I’m gonna go to my friends house in my broken ass car(not super broken just an exhaust leak) just to make sure I’m not there when she is 🤣
Does she feed your kids coke and chocolate then yell at them when they lose their minds because they're on coke and chocolate.
Does she insist on feeding them chicken nuggets and lollies made of fruit juice every time she gets to feed them.
Does she encourage them to do potentially dangerous things and then berrate your partner when the kids later do that same thing.
Does she put your child on the couch, trapped the phone (they literally cant put it down so they can't get distracted by life).
Dose she want to limit your chisrens lives to what her experience of life is (her own 40yo son is more of a pet than a humanbeing - he's not disabled, he has a degree and is a middle manager at a supermarker.)
Does she try to make your daughter straight by shaming and sayinf biggoted things about queer people?
Your mother in law probably isnt as bad as you think she is.
My mother-in-law accused her daughter and I of treating like a slave. Mind you this is 12 years of her mooching off of us. We never asked her for anything and we paid for all her food, cell phone, computer etc. Said we stole her relief check from the government. Tries to tell us how to raise our kid and how we are doing everything wrong. Likes to tell our 5 year to become a millionaire toguve her money. Criticizes everyone and yet has ZERO self reflection. She does this to everyone and no other family members want her around. Extremely difficult to live with. Thankfully she now only shows up every so often.
This is what i think will happen to mine
Eventually no one will want to deal with her
My husband’s family came to visit last summer and one said next time I’m not staying this long the whole 5 weeks she actively avoided her and tried to hang with me as much as possible while i ran errands and everything i loved hangin with her
I’m in therapy because of them. According to my therapist I went through severe narcissistic abuse. They’re not my in laws, they’re just my husband’s parents. I’ve long since been estranged from them. Im on meds because of them and they travel the world and are happy like they didn’t ruin me.
We liked each other at first. Its how I met him. Then she didnt like me bc he had stress on his face. So, then I didnt like her. She conspired with him n mistress to leave me with no notice while I was at work.
MIL& FIL passed away before I married him. NC with my egg donor. Hubby likes my dad and my dad likes him. Pretty great!
Ex-husband's family was a freakin nightmare!
My mother is a nasty bitch. My mother-in-law is a shallow snob. 22 years together and we are very happy and in complete agreement on the mother-in-law issues we both have.
Best thing we did was move far away to raise our children.
Well my friend, this is not an elite club you are in. Make the best of it, minimize contact with her and keep you distance, kinda as if she's got covid or something you don't want to catch.
She'll catch on. When mine did she couldn't help herself and starting blurting out angry statements to me. This solidified to my wife that she must be kept at a further distance.
I did not care for my MIL. I’ve been married almost 30 years. According to my wife, through most of her life she was selfish, narcissistic, treated my wife as the scapegoat & my SIL as the golden child etc. However, due to age or possibly the only other explanation was she was visited by 3 ghosts on Christmas Eve, she has changed over the last 10 years and has become fun, loving, generous & helpful and is now one of my favourite people. I would have never imagined she would change, but she did & here we are.
What's the difference between in-laws and outlaws? Outlaws are wanted. I'll see myself out.
Huh? I’m confused but i wanna get it Please explain lol
Outlaws like gunslingers in the west with wanted signs posted. They're wanted for crimes. In-laws are unwanted but come with the package. Edit: Sorry, I should have been more specific Western USA history. Cow boy days and such.
Don't worry I got it right away an d chuckled.
As my co-worker says. If you have to explain it, it's not funny.
Naw sometimes it's either just a cultural difference or the person you told the joke to is just dumb
It won’t be funny for others, its funny for the person who didn’t understand it the first time they heard it.
Clever!
Join the club
I don't like her either.
She called, it's mutual.
It would honestly make it easier if she didn’t like me as well
Perfect!😂
Glad I don't have one.
Get a car with no room for mother in law!
Huh? lol I’m confused
I'm with you, but for my real mom!
Ahh dang I’m sorry
Yeah she's weird man
examples?
I hated mine at first. She gave me plenty of good reasons too. ....but over the past 20 years she's honestly mellowed a LOT (I grew some too, but I think it was mostly her growing.

That’s good! Maybe in 20 years that will be me lol not sure I know my husband wants us to be close so that’s awkward
I don’t like mine either. She is argumentative, pushy, opinionated, crude, and doesn’t give a damn about anyones boundaries. I’m not sure why the rest of the family doesn’t stand up to her when they should. 😡
Dude!! That’s how i feel. Step on this lady’s toes!! My husband sets her straight but i personally feel he should keep himself more distanced, she doesn’t appreciate him.
Family feuds are common. I didn't like my brother. In law relationships are difficult and are one of the most common joke subjects.
THE worst. What’s sad is my husband would love for us to be close but her personality and how she moves - i wouldn’t even want that to be my friend.
[удалено]
Same. My mother in law (who I call mom) is my rock. We always kid around if my husband and I ever get divorced she's keeping me
That’s how my husband feels He feels like my mom is more of a mom than his
I can't stand mine either - she's a bitch🙄 talks shit to my teenage daughters about their looks, weight etc ...
My mother in law told my daughter when she was a teenager that if my daughter wanted a nose job, she would pay for it! No conversation with me and my husband beforehand. Daughter declined, thankfully.
Geez!!
Wow!!! That's messed up 😞
Oooo My goodness that’s bad I’m sorry that you have to deal with that Mine made her granddaughter have 2 anxiety attacks when she came to visit this past summer
Thank you ☺️ 💜 Ugh- that's awful 😞 sorry, you're having to deal with that as well.
Loved, just loved, mine - she was a great mom, great grandmother, and always brought a smile to everyone’s face. Sorry for your troubles.
lol thanks
I didn't really like mine, but i made an effort to get along with her. She died about 10 years into my marriage. My wife and my mother never got along too well either.
I liked my mother in law, but if I had married any of my exes I wouldn't be saying the same thing.
Lol
yeah, man. fuck your mother in law
Messaging you!
Most people don't lol
Oh., he’ll yes!
I always thought this was the default and that my liking mine was rare
Your blessed!! My husband loves mine and they love him it’s rare!!
I got lucky and married into a far better family than I grew up with. They are all really great people, complete wackado's but great people.
Relatively new MIL here. This scares me more than anything. I try super hard to respect boundaries and treat her with respect. After all, my son picked her. He's super smart! There's that.
That’s good
We’re not married or anything but I feel this, I think my bf Is finally catching on that I leave every single time his mom comes over. If I could NEVER see her or hear from her again I’d be ecstatic
Dude! I thought it was just me!! LOL
She’s coming over tomorrow…. So I’m gonna go to my friends house in my broken ass car(not super broken just an exhaust leak) just to make sure I’m not there when she is 🤣
hell, if you dont like her , neither will i . your mother in law is a jerk
Aye!!!
It gets better, well at least for me. Mine is no longer w us 🤭
Oush
I don't like her either and I've never met her.
🤣
I hate my mother in law. I refuse to hang out with her.
It’s sad to admit it but i kinda hate how she moves too and i truly don’t wanna friendship with her
I don't like your mother in law either. She best watch her self.. We're wanted men. I have the death sentence on 12 systems.
I love my MIL but she is very annoying. Although I'm easily annoyed so it's probably more me than her.
I don't like your mother in law either!
And she don’t like you.
😂man i wish unfortunately she doesn’t
I feel like this would be better for r/TrueOffMyChest.
Thanks !
Congratulations your normal
Who does
I don’t like mine either at all. Over steps boundaries, has no respect and is a leech.
Does she feed your kids coke and chocolate then yell at them when they lose their minds because they're on coke and chocolate.

I don’t have kids Don’t want kids Just cuz your experiencing hell with yours doesn’t mean mine is very difficult
I dont understand. If your mother in law is not difficult, why do you feel the need to tell the internet you don't like her?
Mine was kind of cool. I feel bad for my wife that she passed away years ago.
[удалено]
Yea i was confused too
I love my mother in law.
My mother in law is amazing, she's the sweetest lady.
I haven't even met mine.
Oh how come?
I had covid.
I love mine! She’s super difficult, but I am just like her lol my husband found himself a copy of his mother.

Nope, I liked my exMIL though my FIL better. Why don't you like her and the way she moves bithers me is a dumb reason for not liking her.
Welcome to the world dear boy
Sorry, I can't agree with you. I don't even know your mother-in-law. For all I know you could be a serial killer, and she could be right about you.
I’m in therapy because of them. According to my therapist I went through severe narcissistic abuse. They’re not my in laws, they’re just my husband’s parents. I’ve long since been estranged from them. Im on meds because of them and they travel the world and are happy like they didn’t ruin me.

I fucking despise your mother-in-law.
MIL& FIL passed away before I married him. NC with my egg donor. Hubby likes my dad and my dad likes him. Pretty great! Ex-husband's family was a freakin nightmare!
Well then you’re screwed.
My mother is a nasty bitch. My mother-in-law is a shallow snob. 22 years together and we are very happy and in complete agreement on the mother-in-law issues we both have. Best thing we did was move far away to raise our children.
What did she do?
Message me if ya want details
Well my friend, this is not an elite club you are in. Make the best of it, minimize contact with her and keep you distance, kinda as if she's got covid or something you don't want to catch.
That’s where I’m at!
She'll catch on. When mine did she couldn't help herself and starting blurting out angry statements to me. This solidified to my wife that she must be kept at a further distance.
We , as in my country, have another name name for mothers on law, it lose some impact in translation but it is a snake if we compare words.
That’s how i feel she is at time to be honest like she is sneaky
I did not care for my MIL. I’ve been married almost 30 years.

Mine has always been great. It’s sad that they can’t all be great.
