In-law horror stories... & go!

@Rebecca Have you told your FMIL to eff off? I would.

I love my MIL. She's always been welcoming to me and considers me her daughter.......

....BUT. There was one time she got REALLY drunk and she told me the story of her and my FH's very close friend (and one of our groomsmen) almost hooking up......

@kristine yuck lol that would have made me very uncomfortable

@FutureBennis - I told her she has no f-ing right to do go behind my back and cause this much drama. Now they want to stay in a different hotel and not come to the rehearsal dinner because it "may cause drama." Lady, the only one making drama in my life is you.

@Rebecca that woman has some issues. I hope she behaves for your wedding.

Mine are pretty great!!! And they live in another country!

@FutureBennis - I really hope she doesn't ruin things for my FH. He is such a mess and is tired of playing go between. His mom needs to back the frak off already.

Oh and did I mention that she is lying to my parents too? Claiming that the grandkids can't come to the wedding because there will be alcohol? And is telling everyone I am broke and that we have to move in with them? Lady, I have been on my own 14 years. I don't need your charity.

I don't have in-law horror stories...I have Parent and sibling horror stories. I go to counseling.

My FMIL is a very nice person but she is also an incredibly self absorbed person. Everything is about her.

I decide to invite her to get ready with us the morning of: "oh we'll see...by the way can I come dress shopping with you since I don't have a daughter." She doesn't actually care about spending time with me, just what she can brag about to her friends. She was also significantly less excited about shopping after I asked her not to post anything on social media about it.

We stop by a store in between bridal appointments and the cashier asks who's the bride. I raise my hand and she immediately bursts out: "I'm the mother of the groom!!"

We had dinner for Father's Day shortly after dress shopping, FSIL asks about my dress and as I'm trying to respond, FMIL talks over me and pulls out her phone showing all of these pictures of my dress talking about what an experience it was for her.

I bring up anything about the wedding and she basically ignores it until she remembers to ask me if I know the colors so she can order her dress.

When his brother was getting married, the bride turned down left overs at a family dinner because she was dieting for the wedding. FMIL: "well that's why I want you to take them. I'm working on looking amazing for the wedding."

She's obsessed with the fact that she never had a daughter but makes no effort to spend time with either me or FSIL. She has made up an entire relationship with someone she met in a fb group that she calls daughter and has added her to the family tree and everything. Talks about her constantly while almost never spending time with her actual children. She can't even see how much it bothers her sons.

I've never met my future in-laws so I don't have anything negative or positive to say at this point.

Oh I forgot another good story! My FILs just moved cross country, kinda on a whim, and now live 30 min from my parents. My parents (being polite people), invite them over to dinner as well as my aunt and uncle so they can all meet.

After dinner, my Aunt asked to see the dress I am getting. Granted, the dress I tried on was a size 12. I had to order a size 20 (damn boobs!!). My FMIL quickly, and repeatedly taps the screen of my mom's all in one computer and loudly says "That girl needs to cover up those tatas so she doesn't look like a whore on her wedding day!" My aunt is flabbergasted. My Mom explains it is because the dress isn't the right size, and that my actual dress will look better.

In doing so, she cracked the LCD in the screen now my mom has a blank spot in her screen. My Mother is upset she broke her computer. (On and I got the dress in, and it covers, quite well, in my size, thank you very much!)

Omg @Rebecca, I'm sorry!! That's so uncomfortable. my FMIL is super bitter about me not inviting children to our wedding as well. she has a lot of children on her side of the family, but I've even offered to pay for a babysitter of their choice for ALL of them! but she would never say it to my face. she is someone who holds it in and holds a grudge against you and is super standoffish when she does not get her way. (Mind you, she is not paying A DIME for my wedding - my single mother is paying for it, as well as me & my FH).

Or that one time she tried adding 43 people to the guest list in 2 months. more than half were people who FH either didn't know or deliberately left off of the list.

Edit: she as in FMIL

@Love, and FMIL told my dad that FSIL sent her an e-mail saying the grandson overheard me talking to my FH that there will be no kids at the reception because my Dad is paying for an open bar. When my Dad asked for the e-mail, she is all excuses. Uh, my Dad never said he was paying for a bar, let alone an open one.

She didn't get one detail of that conversation was correct. Including the fact that the grandson heard it while we were packing them up to move. He wasn't even there. He was home sick with the flu. SMH.......

My FMIL is pretty great except for the wedding. First she threw a fit because FH wasn't inviting an uncle he hasn't seen or spoken to in 25 years. 2nd she threw another fit because FH is inviting 2 cousins she doesn't speak to. She doesn't speak to them because 10yrs ago she called one of them (who wasn't home) & didn't call back soon enough. 3rd is wanting to throw us a Jack & jill party. If that's not bad enough, she was going to have monetary gifts and lottery tickets requested on the invites! WTF! I was freaking mortified! Thank God we stopped that in time

@Talullah Monetary gifts and lottery tickets?? Talk about Tacky with a capital T!

This isn't about me but worst I heard was the IL's poisining the bride to be's food with ex-lax.

@OGK have we confirmed that is true? Didn't the OP on that thread ghost?

Yeah, I dont think we will ever confirm that.

Though the conversation was interesting. I had a ex try and do that to me, with Metamucil.
