Controlling future mother in-law

So my fiance’s mom is rude. She came to stay for a few days while I was gone and left my fiance a note on the kitchen counter that said,” you can’t love a girl like that…she will never help you do anything and you know it”. She also left me a note on my laundry hamper filled with all of my dirty clothes that said, “ clean up your mess, this is jason’s home not yours or mine”. Then she found my journal in which I had written all of my 2008 goals in. One goal listed was to find a job in the city where we live. She wrote her own comment next to it saying, “ why?” then after I had listed all of my goals then she added a few of her own that said, “ eat out more because I don’t like to cook, clean the house, or work in the yard. All I like to do is spend jason’s money. Ok, so the reason why I havent found a job where we live is because I make so much money and I am passionate about my job. Jason has never given me a dime except for the gifts he has given me for my birthday, x-mas etc…I am the primary care taker of his home… I cook there, I clean it constantly, I planted all of these beautiful flowers in his yard, I live there so I consider it my home despite her beliefs. Infact I have to teach jason how to maintain the cleanlness because she never taught him…he is 32 yars old!!!she is very old fashion and can’t stand to think of us living there together in sin because we are not married yet. But really it doesn’t matter what the issue is, I think no woman would ever be good enough for her son. I am a very well respected woman in my community where I live, every one adores me and respect me there. His mom lives in a different city so she doesn’t even really know me. What should I do? How do I handle this? I have never been treated like this before in my life!!! I know most of you are thinking she is rude and wacked, but I need real solutions and advice. My fiance is very supportive and is also very upset about what she has done. What should we do?

Answer #1

ahhh thanks so much, everyone…I really appreciate all of this advice. its everything I already know but its sure nice to know I am on the right page. it hurts to be accused of being something you are so far from …you know?

Answer #2

um, YEAH!!!

Answer #3

yah, I think we need to do that. I feel run out of my home when she comes because she is so rude and blunt. se has negative oppinion for everything

Answer #4

I am sorry to say this…but the ball is in JASON’S court. Anything you say will be used against you. It is his mother and he needs to draw the line. If you try to confront her, I guarantee it will not end nicely. It is his mom, she is going to be a problem and it needs to stop now. If Jason tries to laugh it off, or says”that is just what she is like, ignore it”, RUN AWAY NOW. He will NEVER support you emotionally in your marriage if he can’t support you emotionally now. Do NOT marry into that mess unless he draws the line. She will NEVER stop otherwise.

Answer #5

Is there any way for you two to sit her down (it needs to be both of you so she sees that he’s backing you up) and get him to tell her that she cannot treat you in that manner and he will not tolerate it? He loves you and she may not like you but it is “our house” and in “our house” she cannot disrespect you in that way…

Answer #6

yah he pretty much tried to say that when he talked to her but she ended up hanging up on him. She won’t even allow us to express our opinions. all I know is that I feel like I can’t even function without resolving this and really, there is nothing I personaly can do…so I feel helpless because now she isn’t even answering her phone…she knows we are very upset. I don’t understand where someone finds the guts to do something like that!!! I would never treat someone like that ever…clearly we are two different people but that was uncalled for :(

Answer #7

If she is that controling then Jason would be her “little boy” and he needs to explain that he loves you and ya’ll are going to be together no matter what she thinks, maybe this alone that she is pushing him away. The reason why she probably is like that is because she feels treatened by you, you are taking her baby away. You need to tell him and he needs to do it, because all you need is your mother-in-law to hate and control your lifes together. He should be like you can change or never come around this may scare her into changing.

I hope everything works! && I hope I helped.

Answer #8

wow…you know, if she is so completely comfortable with openly criticizing you and completely invading your personal space, then…wow…you need to nip this in the bud. immediatly.

talk with her AND jason at the same time. if jason voices this, maybe she’ll get the point. I mean, because obviously jason is her world. maybe she’ll listen if she hears it coming from him. he needs to tell her that YOU are who he has chosen. that he loves YOU. he should also tell her how much YOU DO! and then you can be there echoing everything and telling her how much you care for her son. you guys also need to talk about how it is NOT appropriate for her to come into your home and put her nose where it doesn’t belong. (with more tact than I just did, lol!) if she doesn’t, than she can’t stay over. I don’t know…something like that.

I hope this helps sweetie…the best thing you can do it get everyone’s feelings out there, have jason support you on this, and nip it in the bud. lots of love hon!

marry this boy, dang it!!!
