Re: Mil Rant
Cheers everyone for your replies, The people on this forum are tops!!
since I have joined I have had 2 occasions to sound off and I am amazed at the response and words of support from total strangers, you are amazing!!
Hutch, you are absolutely right, thanks for remembering what a top bloke he really is. I think your take on it is absolutely right and I can now see the desperate situation that he felt he was in. I think the first month or two are the hardest anyway, he is worrying about getting a job too and the added stress of you know who.... he admits he just buried his head and thought anything for a quite life, and I cant say I blame him in a way, I have certainly promised myself not to give him a hard time and move on....
Cheers

Re: Mil Rant
How long is the old cow in the hotel for. Is she going to bring her flight forward as there is no point in staying when both families don't want to see her. Maybe give her time to realise what a f****** cow she is. Although having said that, every time I have explained to my mother why I think she is a bitch, she manages to turn it around so it's not her fault - upbringing blah blah blah.

My MIL followed us to Brisbane 9 days after we arrived to stay with us for 2 months!
My husband even paid for her bloody ticket.
She hates our son, he is 11yrs old, she had 8 children 2 girls and 6 boys and hates boys.
For 3 weeks she has refereed to our son as "that child" "the boy"
"stupid creature" and cackles at everything he says as if he is stupid.
She doesn't like me or my daughter much either she actually said to me the other day I suppose you have let yourself go because you work and earn money, in my day you had to keep yourself nice to keep your husband.
I am no scruff by the way and wash and blow dry my hair everyday and wear make up every day.
I grew up in a very hostile home with a very aggressive father and I am so terrified of being like him that I suppress a lot of my feelings.
BUT, I went shopping with my daughter yesterday and when we came home my husband and MIL were sitting watching TV and hadn't seen my son for 2 hours.
I went out into the street to look for him and was told that he rode of on his own a while ago, I drove around like a mad woman and found him about 2 miles away standing over his bike crying, he was running away :scared:
He had heard his Grandmother speaking about him horribly with his father and the dad that he adores wasn't even sticking up for him, he was bloody agreeing!!!!!
My husband was pulling his hair out to me last week about his mother not liking our son and now he is sitting there agreeing with her. What is this bloody hold? My husband is a different man around her!
I calmed our son down and took him home and forgot to suppress my feelings lol
I went mad, I said to them he is a bloody child and she said oh for goodness sake he is nearly 12 (she talks like the queen by the way)
She then said well where is the boy he is ok isn't he!
He isn't the bloody boy or that child he is your bloody grandson and his name is Greg and no he isn't ok he is bloody upset, he already knew his Grandmother didnt like him but he is heartbroken to hear his father agreeing with you I didnt say this by the way I shouted it.
She just replied oh that stupid child... That was it, I said right that's it I have had enough I am not willing to have someone under my roof that doesn't like my children you can both **** off.
AAAAAGGGGHHHHH thing is there is no where for her to go, she has a son and DIL up the road who's son has grown up and left home but they wont have her, I have phoned them and asked twice but they say no way, they have never forgiven her for the way she treated their son.
I am so angry, I knew what she was like and I made my husband promise that if she stayed with us that he would have to be loyal to us and not let this happen again and he has let me down so badly.
So I am stuck in a small holiday rental with a witch of a MIL and my husband neither of whom are speaking to me or me to them, and I am feeling so pissed off its unbelievable. I havent even got a bloody car I can off for the day in.

Re: Mil Rant
Good to read the situation has calmed, lots of replies agree your husband made a mistake and I,m sure he will have learned from it.
In my opinion for what it's worth I would,nt let the woman back into your life again, not for spite or anything like that BUT because she is such a negative influence on you and the kids.
She is demeaning your son at a very important time in his life ( 11yrs old and senior school looming in the distance) He needs his confidence at its highest possible levels, all those little digs and knocks are exactly how a child (or adult) develop low esteem.
from what you have said I think she has a nasty streak and a history of this sniping at people kids especially, if your husband wants to stay in touch tell him make that contact remote from your home.
all the best for the future and wishing you and the kids some quiet and peaceful times.
