HOW SHOULD I HANDLE MY MOTHER-IN-LAW? IS SHE TRYING TO HURT ME?

Question

We had a spat last month about my hubby's lack of communication with her...she blamed me for not making him call or calling myself so she'd know he was ok. Now she put pics of a family gathering online that include one's taken of my hubby & his ex-gf.

Answer 1

I'm the MIL and let me say that I'm in the same boat my son doesnt call us either but I know that it is my daughter in laws fault as she is very controlling with him.You must remember that you have him 24/7 so he needs to call his mom as she is just being a mother.Now putting the pics online that was way out of line and she was so wrong about that.But if you are kind to your MIL then let your husband take up for you as he should .

Answer 2

just  tell  to  stop

Answer 3

Just tell her, you cannot "make" him do something he doesn't want to do and the phone system works BOTH ways.Then let it go, you can also tell her the picture of him and his ex doesn't bother you since EVERYONE knows he is married to you and that isn't going to change.

Then have your husband call her and tell her to quit acting like a spoiled 13 yr old brat,.

Answer 4

try not to take it personal. I am in the same boat as you :)

Answer 5

Ignore her. She is trying to get negative attention. Don't reinforce that behavior. As long as you and your husband agree, let the phone take messages. There is probably a good reason your husband doesn't call. Let her blame all she wants. There is no rule that he has to call. His priority is now YOU
