Mother in-law gone crazy!

Question

When my immediate family visits my mother-in law she says everything gives you cancer!! I'm sick of her always judging everything we do or eat. "cell phones cause cancer!" ""Oscar Meyer weiners cause cancer!" "Maruchan soup has chemicals!" "Microwaves contaminate your food!" "your children play too much video games!"

Dude! She's so stupid, it's funny! I laugh at her. But husband actually argus with her! I say ignore it. But me n my sister-in law want to get her back for all these years of talking s***. Is there anything I can say about her eating habits or her living ways. I hope that makes sense. Like anything we can say like for example eating too much healthy something can get u some how sick? Or a freaking rumor anything! We are so desperate to get her back! Anything! Please help!

Answer 1

Just tell her that recent studies show that people who stress too much over cancer actually have been diagnosed with cancer.

Answer 2

Be an adult about it and ignore the things that bother you about your mother-in-law. Remember she comes from a different generation than you do.

If you insist on 'getting her back', #1 she probably won't understand what your doing and #2 you could cause a rift between you and your husband and maybe she won't be your mother-in-law anymore.

You may be a mother-in-law some day. Would you want your daughter-in-law to treat you that way?

Answer 3

Just put her food in the microwave  

Answer 4

it sounds like she has a mental problem instead of laughing at her maybe her sons need to seek medical help for her.Remember having a fear of cancer can be scary.Maybe she is just afraid of losing her loved ones.

Answer 5

Do you really want to stoop to her level? Stateing things that are about her would be stepping on the same level she is at and you wouldn't feel good about it. If she is causeing that much drama try not to see her or contacting her. Also she is in her own silly way trying to give you advice Yes she can place is in better terms but all-n-all its your kids and your life live it don't worry about her.

Answer 6

Of course!  Next time you visit her use the "I heard that [blank] causes cancer!  I'm suprised to see you [with it, doing it, using it] because you seem to be so well informed about cancer causing things."  As for the household critique - next time she says something about how you run things (cooking, calling, kids...) tell her it's your home and you would appreciate it if she would keep her negative comments to herself.  They are not helping anyone to solve the perceived problem.  Or, you could just spike her drinks all visit long...

Answer 7

Find out her favorite brand of lipstick(lotion,makeup,shampoo)and then make up c**p about it.lol Or tell her you feed the kids small doses of radiation to ward off the cancer. lol  Cancer isnt funny but the situation is .Im like you.Id ignore it.Have fun and good luck!!

Answer 8

Stop the drama in its tracks by not saying anything at all. By you and your sister in law making up a rumor or saying anything at all it is just going to cause more drama. Just ignore her comments and get on with life....at least she doesn't live with you.....lol

Answer 9

tell her arguing with her is  a big stress. the kind that  causes cancer. lol   tell her you dont know what to do, everything is bad, even trying to read her mind. So you guess, since you are going to die anyway, you might as well pick the fun stuff.  

Answer 10

tell her that all the vegitables are grown in cow ****, and that it is cintaminated with cancer!! then tipe a couple pages about it making it sound like a scientist wrote it, and then print it out and give it to her. always keep a straight face, or she will know that you are lying. give it to her after you fix her a saled for lunch.  then have youre boyfriend pretend to throw up after he eats a saled with her to finish it off!

Answer 11

I know mother in-laws can be very annoying sometimes. You just have to remain calm and remember that if it wasn't for her you wouldn't have your husband. Getting back at her will only make you feel worse in the long run. Someday she will pass away, as we all will. And you don't want to go to her funeral with feelings of guilt for being mean to her. Trust me on this one. She feels that she is sharing something with you that she has heard or learned of. Mother's are just protective that way. How you can get back at her is by being as nice as possible. She won't be able to get a rise out of you anymore. Good luck. From someone who has a mother in-law that has drove me crazy sometimes.
