The in law from the bottom of hell

Hi guys,

I am a 16 weeks pregnant with my first child. My fiance's mother has been a nightmare through out the entire process. I knew I was pregnant from the very beginning and at 6 weeks pregnant,  we decided to tell his mother. She told me that I should have an abortion, my baby is a *******, and when the "*****" gets here she is going to tell "the it" that both of its parents are crazy.  She made me cry the first 2 and a half months of the pregnancy,  so much so that I didn't want to live anymore....but no worries,  I bounced back like the strong mother that my mother raised me to be. Now for questions.  Is that in law behavior normal when you are 22? Is that behavior normal when you are Christian?  Am I being too cruel when I firmly believe in not allowing her near my baby unsupervised? She even has made me feel uncomfortable with going to church. Should I go anyway? Can I smack her once I have my baby? Do you think my hate for her will fade? Should I have my mother correct her? How do I deal with someone of her caliber for the next 168 days with out going into early labor or having a miscarriage?

I agree with the others. Your fiance should say something to her. Everybody is an adult and you shouldn't have to keep quiet if she doesnt. Speak your mind, but in a respectful manner to show you're mature but stay away if possible. You don't need that negativity.

For one, that baby belongs to your fiancé as well so he needs to put his own mother in check for disrespecting his family like that. No that is not normal behavior for a Christian and is plain unacceptable behavior for a grown woman period. I understand that's his mother, but she's not yours. You do not have to be around her and continue to put up with that. Until she can mature some, I'd keep my distance. You need to worry about your health and your baby first and foremost, not with others' attitudes. You will probably lose the hate for her eventually, but probably not the dislike unless she changes. And nothing is wrong with that. Good luck hun. Just keep your head up! :-)

Depends on whether you had this probably with her before you got pregnant. If not that maybe I'll say it could be your hormones. But if yes then it won't get better the feeling will remain the same. I would say talk to your fiancé about what's bothering you cause you wouldn't want to do or say anything that might make him against you and make things even worse. I know it ***** specially when you can't Stand someone who will always be in your face
