IM SO ANGRY I need advice ASAP

I can not stand my husband's parents.. they treat him like crap but expect money from him all the time but do nothing for him... it pisses me off because we need the money to save for the baby but because they ask we give them the saved money... I cant stsnd it.. ive made my opinion clear on the situation but thats his parents and I don't want to be disrespectful.. but I honestly don't want them near my son when he comes... Do you think thats the right thing to do being that they ard my son's grandparents ?.. Should we tell them that we don't want them in his life ? .. I need some Advice ASAP..

P.s. CUT OFF THE GRAVY TRAIN NOW. With your baby coming you will need that money as children are expensive and you will need just incase money as well. Kindly tell them the truth. of theu get upset Oh well.. You son comes first and they have to understand that!

My boyfriend's parents ask him for money and he has to pay them back for everything! He has already done so much for them and they still expect to be "paid back". He inherited money and now its all gone. A majority of it went to getting his parents out of debt completely. Now they are going to move and leave him with no options. So I feel your pain with the grandparent situation. But, should you kick them out of your son's life? I don't think so. Yes stand your ground on the financial situation and maybe mention that seeing their grandson will come at a cost but don't cut them out completely. Good luck

I know how you feel about not being able to tolerate in laws. My mother in law especially I cant stand! She is rude, been bad to my husband growing up and just dont know when to shut up.  She dont understand that there are boundries.  I disapeared and didnt go.around my in laws for over a year because I got sick of their ridicule. As for not allowing them in your childs life im not sure that's a good choice. We decided with our situation there will be no overnight stays or TOO many visita however we still want our daughter to know their grandparents. We just dont want to sibject our daughter to hubbys mom with her out of.control controlling and manipulative behavior. To us.. itsnjust not healthy.  Maybe you can do somethubg similar. good luck!

I don't think that their need for financial assistance warrants them unworthy of being grandparents. Maybe you guys will just have to put your foot down when it comes to your household finances. Taking away their joy in your child will just cause unneeded drama, these are people that will be around regardless.

I will let u know I've been pregnant 2 times now and both times I swear I could literally choke my mil!  I don't know what it is but I can't stand her! She knows cause now she won't bother me or ask me or my hubby for anything!  Lol all u need to do is go off and after ur baby comes wait 3 months and blame the pregnancy!  Bam problem solved!
