Okay this is sorta long and im sorry. But my husband's mother and I absolutely hate each other and we havent seen or spoken to eachother since december 2013. She has said and done horrible things to and about me. I really dont want her involved in my daughters life due to her views and her opinions but I also know shes the only mother my husband has and it hurts him. What would you ladies do??? Please and thank you

It sounds like she has a strong personality and speaks her mind.

Honestly,  that name wouldn't fly in my family either.    Although we'd be silent about it after an initial reaction of "really,  Athena?  Are you sure you want to do that?"  but to keep peace most would be silent after the birth certificate was signed.

Your life would be easier and better if you tried to get along with her,  and your husband would love you for it.  It sounds like both of you are powerhouses of opinion and strife,  and your husband is caught dead in the middle between two warring women.

Life's too short to thrive on drama,  IMHO.  Please God give me the patience and sense of humor to accept the quirks and foibles in the people I love.

My actual mother and I are the same way. We dont get along, i dont agree with her decisions and shes a very mean, selfish person. But like you said, it's my only mom. I don't want to keep my son from knowing his grandma or my little sisters (his aunts), so I decided I'd just be there with my son when he visits her so a can keep a supervised watch on how things go.

My husband won't stand up to her. Im always the bad guy and then he just says I love the fact that you can just say how it is im like really???

My mother in law doesn't know the name we are going to name my daughter but I eould lobe to hear what other negative comments she will say. Me and my bf always argue because I always say the truth a bout hes momma. I can't keep it to myself she just so rude

Girl, I totally understand.  Only difference is that my mil is nice to my face, but then tells people I'm a serial killer When I leave :/.  Anyway, my husband and I said as long as she respects me and is nice to our child she will be in its life.  BUT the second she bad mouths me or our child, She is no longer allowed to see the child. Harsh, but she's been pretty ruthless the past few years.

Here lately shes said that my daughters name was inappropriate because its from a greek goddess which is Athena. Then she goes on and on about how she will never be accepted into my husbands family because of it.

Girl my mil is the same I mean uhh inwantnto keep far away from her she is a oain in the butt. But than im still there because it's not my bf fault shes like that. But absolutely im keeping my daughter away from her.  Matter in fact wensday was the last day Im going ro her house. She comment that my daughter was going to be self fish just because she didn't let her self see in the ultrasound

I have a similar situation. My boyfriend's dad is very childish and over dramatic. My boyfriend and his dad don't have a very great relationship, but I wouldn't want to keep my daughter away from him either. I'm okay with him seeing her as long as we are around. Sometimes it hard to make that decision. Maybe your husband can be the one who takes your child on visits to his mother. That way you don't have to deal with her. As long as she doesn't say anything negative about you around the baby..

My mother in law is like that too. I told my husband he can do all the interactions with her.  I can't deal with the disrespect,  grandchild here or not.
