Go on, now, go! Right out the door!

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. If there’s one thing about mother-in-law’s , it’s that you either love them or you hate them. They can be a pain in the butt, or your best friend. It’s no wonder there are so many nightmare stories about MIL’s demands, expectations, and overall rudeness towards their DIL’s. And don’t get me started on the way they baby their sons…half these MIL’s still wish they could clean their kid’s diapers. In this Reddit story, it centers about a MIL and D…

Welcome, internet dwelling ladies. Whether you choose to give birth in a hospital or have an at-home birth, it is a very personal choice that needs to be respected. Hospitals are a better option for women whose pregnancy and birth might pose some technical issues, such as women with high blood pressure or whose babies have medical conditions or are not positioned correctly in the womb. Hospitals also provide a sterile environment, epidurals for labor pains, and immediate medical attention if an…

The internet seems to think both sides are in the wrong here...

Healthy relationships take ongoing effort. There will always be more to improve upon and more to be worked on. However, a marriage can only last if both parties are willing to put in a lot of effort to maintain it. The story below is an account of a frustrated wife. The original poster (OP) had started dating her husband when she was still in college. Aside from the occasional arguments with her mother-in-law, their marriage was nearly perfect. However, when OP and her partner learned they were…

Your primary focus should always be your family. Having said that, who do you regard as your close family members? An account of a devastated mother-in-law is given below. The original poster (OP) had consistently attempted to establish a relationship with her daughter-in-law, but she had continuously encountered rejection. The difficulties deteriorated once she had children, and the daughter-in-law, prioritized her own mother while limiting her engagement with the grandchildren. OP grew distan…

He's okay with his mom being sassy, but not his wife?

Your family should always come first. That being said, how would you respond if your mother-in-law decided to go on a personal crusade to ruin your sister-in-law's life? If you didn't want to irritate her further, would you say something or remain silent? The story below is an account of a frustrated daughter-in-law. The original poster (OP) and her spouse had been together for a long time. Even though OP never had a strong relationship with her mother-in-law, nothing compared to the hostility…

Were they overreacting?

Mother-in-laws have a reputation for a reason. They’re known to cause trouble, tension, and turbidity regardless of if they have a son or daughter. When it comes to their child getting in a forever or long-term partnership, they have a knack for not knowing where their boundaries are. From raising mama boys to controlling behavior, they can be the source of many issues. In this Reddit thread, the original poster (OP) is sick of his mother-in-law’s controlling behavior regarding his wedding. The…

1 point for DIL, 0 for MIL.

Whenever one holds an event of some sort, they might feel a strong need for everyone who attends to focus all their attention on the celebrator and no one else. During a wedding, for example, the bride usually hates when someone tries to steal her focus, and the same might apply to birthdays, baby showers, and funerals (kidding with the last one, I hope…). That is why I understand why the wife in this Reddit story was upset, and I can relate to her initial reaction. During her baby shower, OP's…

Knowing more than just one language is such an important tool in life, you can open yourself up to so many new experiences if you let yourself learn tools like another language. Travel, people, conversation, and even work look different when you acquire those tools. Not to mention, if you do not tell people about your skill, you can have some clever opportunities to reveal that fact in a way that would truly make an impact. Take the woman in this Reddit story for example, who decided to reveal…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. When you get married, you don’t just marry the person in front of you, but you’re married into their whole family, for the good or the bad. It’s never easy to be ensconced in someone else’s life; being immersed with their mothers, fathers, and other members of the family can strain the relationship. As long as everyone keeps an even keel, things should be fine, but this is easier said than done. In this Reddit thread, the woman has a difficult…

Every person is entitled to choose their friends and the people who are closest to them. No one should tell you who you can be friends with, and whether or not you are allowed to talk to certain people. That being said, common sense points out that there should be some red lines one should not cross. For example, being friends with your sibling's ex should not cross your mind, or keeping in contact with your ex's parents. Some relationships are simply off-limits, and no one should have to be th…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. The relationship between your mother-in-law and you can sometimes get a little sticky. It’s common to have strife and feelings of discomfort, but there are limits to how you should allow your MIL to act with you. When caring for your newborn, it’s your responsibility and right to parent the child how you want. No one can force you to agree to anything, and anyone trying to is out of their mind. This brings us to the Reddit thread. The MIL has b…
