Sorry you are dealing with 2 psychos that don't know their place.  I'd ignore them as much as possible, but I would put my foot down if they tried to run your life. Your hubby is going to deal with them as he chooses b/c they are his family, but I think they need to see that you are not to be messed with.  When you say no, don't waver.  They can leave if they don't like it.  Let them try to manipulate all they want. It's up to you to not allow them to mess with your life.  Your husband will see them for who they are. And he may step up and tell them to back off in private so they save face. But either way, you can't control him or them....just put your foot down.  Good luck. My mother in law is a manipulative witch.  My husband just  wants to move far away from her and gets tired of her behavior, but feels he can't change his mom.  I think he's right.

Simple answer, you can't until they ask for forgiveness. You can forgive your wife for being mislead (but it looks like you've already done this), but you can't forgive anyone until they ask for it.\n\nIt sounds like your in-laws are dangerous, lying, deceptive people. Hopefully, your wife does / will recgonize this, and will not listen to them anymore. \n\nMy personal suggestion is that these people have already come close to destroying you once. I would not allow them the chance to try again.

I hate my in-laws. They are always in my marriage. They expect my husband to cater to their needs and forget that he has a family on his own to take care of. I undrestand that he is suppose to help them but they call him for any and everything like when they went out of town they wanted him to stay in their house for two weeks without his family.

Wow,,, that does sound pretty disgusting the way you worded it.  It often appears that the mother in law and daughter always seem to have competition going on.  I am not really sure why and it getting rather old.  You and this quy have been together 20 plus years and there is still tension between the 2 women he so obviously adores.  Being a woman you know how to add fuel to the fire or put out the flames...Try taking the higher road and leave it be.  I have another tool you could use as well... It is called PRAYER... the most powerful tool out here.  God sees all that is going on and He knows how you feel about it.  He also knows how your husband feels as well.  Can you imagine how excited he will be to see his 2 favorite girls interacting without foolishness.  Pray about it and leave it be...

Because they are way too nosy (the inlaws and insecure) this seems like you are hurt by this sit down and talk to her about it so it doesn't cause any gaps in your relationship good luck

My cousin's wife sends one every year. Yes, she brags. Here's how they went, when her kids were small. Note the use of the exclamation points!\nWell, here it is another Christmas, and I am not ready yet! It's bem a good, but trying, year, since Ron got transfered to Nome, alaska! He is the base commander, and was promoted to general!\nBrad broke his arm, sliding into third base  this summer, and his team went on to win the national little league championship! Naturally, we all went to support the team! It was a good trip, we stopped at Disney world on the way back!\nJeff placed first in the national spelling competition, he skipped 4th grade this year, his school said he is so much more advanced than the other children! He may skip 6th grade, too!\nMom started working again, my design shop did well this year, I won an award for the most innovatieve idea in the company! It came with a plaque, and a cash award of 18 gazillion...\nYou get the idea. She bragged, bragged, ...\nJust a nice letter, telling people what you did, and what your plans are would be nice. Hers came on special stationary, and was a form letter, same one sent to all. It would be nice to personalize it, if you have time. A friend also does this, but hers is a little sadder, she updates people on the status of her cancer tx.

I can't stand my inlaws!! They are so fake! They act like they like me but, behide my back they talk about me. I have acually heard her talk about me! I can't believe they can be that way! I had tried so hard in the begining to get along with them but I stopped that a long time ago! I guess first impressions mean alot because that was when she brushed me off when I said hello. If my husban is not home and she calls I don't pick up the phone and she knows I'm home. I know that get's her upset. But I love it!! So my suggestion is focus on your fam and avoid her! But ofcoures say hello once in a blue moon. I know you not getting along with her came create unwanted problems in your relationship! Best of luck:)

Your husband should have stuck up for you! \n\nBut he was most likely scared to offend his mother by doing so...\n\nI would just put on a happy face in front of her, because when it comes to unruly inlaws--noone wins!

My mother in law didnt like me either. She said it wouldnt last a year. Well its been 32 years and we no longer speak to her because she pulled some rel nasty stunts on our children. I say stay with him and ditch the mother in law too.

That actually happened with me about 10 yrs ago with my first husband except she was not my best friend, she was a crank whore. I freaked out and tried like hell to hurt both of them. Another friend of mine was there and another friend of his was there and so they prevented me from doing too much damage at that moment. I don't recall a lot about that night. I just know that for like the following 3 months I cried myself to sleep everynight. That was one of the darkest times of my life. He ended up getting her pregnant. Our child was only a few months old at the time.\n...Anyway, I'm in a much better place now. Thank God.

Our sister-in-laws must be related! Last summer we found out that mine was pregnant! It was the longest nine months on earth- everything revolved around her- She immediately quit her job at a retail store (at 3 weeks preg) where she was a cashier. She couldn't do any work around the house (lucky for her she and her boyfriend are living at her mom's house) When it was time to decorate the nursery, She didn't lift a finger she let her mother do it all (and pay for it all) of course she married her boyfriend (had honeymoon at motel 10 miles from home) (Did I mention he lives there too and doesn't work?) (Doesn't even cut grass)\nThe whole 9 months She was treated like a princess and was so bitchy to everyone!! Now that the baby is here she lets my mother in law do everything, She is rude to everybody and has no plans to get a job. Plus when the baby was 5 weeks old her and her husband left in his moms camper for a week! And said she would have stayed 2 weeks if she didn't have to pick up her wic and food stamps.\nHope this doesn't make you vomit. \n:)

Out drinking my brother-in-law...and answering your questions

I couldn't agree more, how does crap like this get made?  How can hour after hour of a freaking idiot and his whiney annoying wife complaining about the same bloody problems year in year out be considered funny?  \n\nWe get it; you hate your in-laws - MOVE!

why don't you start with this:\n\nhttp://genealogy.about.com/cs/adoption/a/adoption_search.htm\n\nWe just found out my mother in law had a baby in the late 50's.  She was contacted by her son (who lives in Australia) and they've been corresponding ever since.  She was 'forced' to give up her child, and no one knew about him except my MIL and her siblings.  It was a very scary thing for my MIL to 'confess' to her family there was another child before them.  But it's a great weight off her shoulders.  She is happy to know her son had a good life and is not angry with her for giving him up.

Ugh. \n\nSounds like something my husband and I are going through. Or, maybe I'm going through and I just think he's also going through. Come to think of it he may not know how I feel.\n\nWe just had a baby four months ago.  I feel wiped out, tired, and un appreciated.  I want someone to appreciate me and make me feel good about myself. Not that I don't feel that way, but when a man tells you how hot you are...and how you make him feel...and makes you heighten sexually...it's amazing. And, once hubby stops - ie family and kids. It leaves the woman longing for more.\n\nI doubt she's already done anything. She probably said that to you to see what you would say and how you would react. She was testing the waters.\n\nIf you want to save your marriage do the following:\n1. Surprise her\n2. Find grandma to take your daughter for a week\n3. Take her on her dream vacation\n4. Tell her how sexy she is, and how she makes you feel\n5. Touch her\n6. Spoil her; arrange for breakfast in bed, seaside dinners...\n7. Don't nag - handle all the little details the whole vacation make it worry free for her...trust me, she is in a rut. She needs a break\n\nYou have to show her you still are interested.  Like gets crazy after kids.  And, once you are stuck in a rut --- it seems impossible to dig out of it.\n\nBTW, I would NOT let this go un-noticed. You need to acknowledge her and what she said. No matter how crazy it seems or how uncomfortable it makes you feel. You need to tell her how you feel - or just that you don't understand where this is all coming from.\n\nAlso, don't ask her if she wants a vacation or needs a break. She's going to say no. Women like to think they are super heros and take on more than they can manage. They feel they are inadequate if they don't keep up with so and so...or if they can't meet someone elses standard of what a wife and mother should be.
