mother in law hell

Im so sure my mother in law may mean well but she pushes to the point , that I can't help but to think if this biotch is testing me. She made a face facebook and tags me in things like if your smoking so are your children and I've quite smoking . She also posted something up about how boys are jerks and to hit them and run away and of course I thought it was cute and funny , plus im having a girl so I thought it was cute. Well she went on in her post saying she wasn't talking about her son and that I should open my eyes! I responded (Lol I thought it was a funny post and nobody said anything about your son ) and in seconds she apologized telling how much she loves me and she posted everything I've posted in the last month even preganacy advice from my baby center . Another day my spouse was real emotional because I did get to the point I didn't want to be touched or anything with the hormones going on and his mom could tell he was upset or a lil down but didn't know why and told him if its me to move on im just anouther girl :0 yes! She told him that.. Shes always started things with his exs and im just trying to figure out how to keep my cool because I haven't snaped yet. Our family is very happy for our first baby so why should I have to explain smoking if im not? Problems! My hubby does have a little boy thats half black and I've posted pictures of the up from the 4th of july and I've had to erase her comments. His own Mother said Oh how I love my little n***** baby then she said oops I didn't mean to say that and I erased it all. My family is a mix with culture! She is Hispanic. I don't want to hurt her feelings but im getting pretty damn close. What should I do?

With the way she is acting she should not be allowed to have kids herself.

I think the best thing to do is invite her over to dinner and the three of you sit down and talk about your concerns in an adult way. Is she acting crazy, yes. And is it wrong of her to say rude things about her grandson, absolutely. But unfortunately you married her son, that doesn't justify the way she is acting but I think you are not to far along to sit down and talk with her and your husband. Talk to your husband about everything that is bothering you (and be open to some stuff not being that big of a deal cause let's face it we are hormonal at this point) before you both sit down with her. So when you do sit down with her you are a united front about the important things that she needs to change get addressed. Ask her what you can do to make things better and if it continues then you can be more serious about it and block her on Facebook and not talk to her. But if you and your husband sit down with her and it works great, if not than you know you have tried and your husband will appreciate that too. I'm not saying you have done anything wrong cause it seems like you haven't. But this is his and your family sometimes it's best to be the bigger person

It seems shes definitely playing mind games with you. She is being testy and it needs to stop. I would def tall to ur husband. My evil mil does this too.. very "nice" to my face then shell jiat snap and start acting real ugly. When my husband and I got engaged she said rite infront of us in quote , "why get married rite now? If u 2 are already comitting urselves before god to be together forever then therea no sence in signing a little piece of paper. And whose to say I two won't get a divorce anyway?" I was shocked! My hubby was pissed. And this was coming from a women who married at age 14 bc she got prego and he beat her. Shes been married 3 timea and cheated on all of her men... anyway lol

I would not let that fly at all. My mother in law does the same to me always talking bad and down about me and what I'm doing. And I've been with her son 9 years know married 8 and she does it still and I don't take it at all and nor should you. And if you don't want to freak out on her seat your man down and tell him how you feel what she's doing what she's saying and keep doing it. He well say something to her.

Her behavior is unacceptable. ....absolutely outlandish and unacceptable.  If she wants to act a fool...delete her from f.b. and don't speak to her! That comment about a sweet little child should have eneded it-would have with me!

My hubby didn't talk to his mom for a lil over a week and tokd her how crazy she is. Its all for attention and surprisingly I snap very easily but I haven't yet and it is boiling over big time . She knows it because when I see her she kinda hides her face like she isn't ready for confortation. Also shes the babysitter but I have his son with me all the time now

I feel so bad for you!! Put an end to it NOW!! You need to get your hubby on your side and let it be known he is on your side and there will be no more negativity toward you. If he's not on your side and stands up and says something, it will not end.

^^^Right! I would let her know everything of how I'm feeling and dismiss her negativity and rudeness!  My m.I.l. was a lot to deal with too. She actually told me she wanted her son to be with his ex instead of me. It was so messy...I actually ended up putting my now husband out because I felt like he wasn't standing up for me, too much of a mama's boy and don't tell them otherwise when his whole family and the ex would talk about me and he would be quiet which to me meant he was saying they are right. They even had a meeting with him on why is he with me...the girl from New Orleans and I live in Houston.  

N e who, I told them all of my mind and dismissed them and my now Husband for 6mths AND I was pregnant! He got his mind right n they followed and respect me now and we finally got married.

All that to say is stand your ground, don't allow anyone to disrespect you. Show your strength and they may become tamed.

I would tear her a new one and tell her to keep her nose where it doesn't belong. Block her on fb and tell your hubby the **** needs to stop. My family is a mixing pot of culture and i would not be as quiet about all of the comments as you are. There are times to bite your tongue and times not to. Be brave momma.
