We all love our Mother-in-law's right? Ok, maybe there are a few of you that are not best friends with your mother-in-law, but you are not alone. The bump.com asked its readers to share their bad mother-in-law moments. Many had a lot to say, so I had to share them with you!
“She tried to compare her sons to my son: ‘All my kids drank their bottles so fast,’ or ‘My kids burped once and never spit up.’” -- starfish76
“When I was six months pregnant and on, my mother-in-law kept saying, ‘Wow! You’ve exploded!’ to me once a week.” -- jpa99
“One time during a two-hour car ride, the baby cried most of the time. Fifteen minutes into my daughter’s crying, my mother-in-law started to take her out of the car seat while we were on a busy highway! She told my baby, ‘I know your mom isn't going to like this, but I'm going to hold you.’ I know car seats weren't always a law, but they are now and for a very good reason!” -- dee_0
“She would hover over me while I was changing my son’s diaper, and every time he cried, she would say ‘He’s constipated,’ or ‘He’s hot.’” -- lala
“She stayed in the delivery room after I told her a billion times that she was making me feel uncomfortable. Then she stayed in my room when I was breastfeeding for the first time -- she stood directly over me! It still makes me mad to think about it.” -- tfs55
“My mother-in-law pretended she was pregnant and due the same day as me.” -- daisyk
“When my son was positioned up in my ribs while I was pregnant, I gently pushed my stomach so he would move. She flipped out and told me to not push on her grandson. I had to leave the room I was so mad!” -- beetee
“When we found out I was pregnant, my husband called his parents excitedly. All my mother-in-law could say was that he shouldn't get excited because she herself had a few miscarriages.” -- mm9
“She nicknamed my son ‘Ducky’ while he was in utero, which I hated. Then she told everyone that it was what I called him and tricked my sister-in-law into using it as a shower theme!” -- by_u
“The day I came home from the hospital in the spring, my mother-in-law walked up to me, shook my belly and said, ‘Now you just need to get rid of this by summer.’” -- gigit
Do you have a mother-in-law moment you would like to share? Please do!

Wow! I am mad for these moms! Some of those MIL's are crazy.
ReplyDeleteI was blessed with an amazing MIL...but when my neices were born my grandmother would always pick at my SIL. She would say things like "doesn't mommy ever put a sweater on you?"
ReplyDeleteIt made me angry, and she wasnt even talking about me!
My mom in law is amazing and I am glad she is nothing like them. I mean we get annoyed with eachother ofcourse but nothing like that!
ReplyDeleteMy mom was probably worse than my MIL. She would say things like "That doctor just let you get too big!" after she inspected my tummy stretch marks. Yea, it was not a pleasant time. I do not look forward to getting pregnant ever again!
ReplyDeleteI have a wonderful mother-in-law. She is always so caring and loving. But even the best mom's can say the wrong thing. When John and I were first married, we were having a lovely conversation about children and she said to my husband, you are going to have a child 10 times worse than you were. This after she had told me how bad my husband was when he was a kid. I almost cried and said, do you hate me? My toddler is almost living up to her legend.
