Bad In-Laws

Well, I can honestly say that I was double blessed. Try having to deal with your own wacky parents and then the in-laws. My only salvation was that eventually everyone passed away. I wish I could encourage you in some way. How about a moving van to the other side of the world. I remember the day I lost it with my mother as she lectured my daughter throughout the grocery store about how fat she was. Mom loved to serve every sweet in town and then give you a lecture about being fat. I love the happy place that I'm in now. PEACE!

Wow, you make my in-laws sound like angels. Why is it that you and your husband put up with this? Does your husband know that his father has been trying to sleep with his wife? The worst part is that your daughter has to suffer because of it. I realize that most people have their favourites in the family, but to make it so obvious is a terrible thing to do to a child. They should all be treated equally no matter who was born first, they are still a part of your mother in law. Im sorry to hear it, you should be staying clear of people like that, you dont need them in your life, and your daughter definately does not need them in hers either. I would be afraid to leave my children alone with people like that. My in-laws on occasion make me angry, but nothing to that extent. I think that since day one I have put my foot down with them by letting them know that I am the parent of my children and they are the grandparents, and truthfully they have never really over-stepped their boundries, and whenever they have come close I let them know about it before it went too far. I think that In-laws are a big factor in their childrens relationships, they have a big impact on their childrens lives. I hope that you too can put your foot down and refused to have your daughter treated this way. Your husband should be stepping up to the plate and doing something about it for sure. Good luck!
