Today, I had to break up a fistfight between my wife and mother. Apparently, my mom heard that I finally got the great paying job of my dreams, and told my wife I'd finally kick her "useless ass to the curb." We have to spend the holidays together. FML

Today, my dad and I got into an argument, and he ended up calling me a son of a bitch. My mom heard and started arguing with him over him calling her a bitch. Three hours later, I'm now staying at my gran's house with my mom and hoping her threats of a divorce weren't for real. FML

Today, my mother not only told me that my ex-husband will be spending Thanksgiving with her and my dad, but that I'm also no longer invited to spend the holiday with my family. FML

Today, I broke up with my girlfriend. After breaking the news to my parents, I heard my dad mutter when I left, "Damn it, I liked her better than him." My mother didn't protest. FML

Today, I went on the road for work for the first time in a very long time. I was enjoying lunch with coworkers when my phone got bombarded with calls and texts. Turns out my wife and my mother had gotten into a fight within two hours of me being away. FML

Today, I was fired from my job. Why? Because my boss has been dating my newly divorced mother, and he didn't want family get-togethers to be "awkward." FML

Today, I had to break up with my girlfriend on her request because she "didn't have the heart to do it." Within twenty minutes I'd received 4 calls from mutual friends, including my best friend, telling me what a jerk I am. And one from my mom. FML

Today, my mother bitched me out for filing divorce papers against my abusive husband. According to her, it's a "slap in God's face". She's the one who's divorced two husbands so far because they weren't getting job promotions fast enough to support her hoarding habit. FML

Today, after I got into an argument with mom's boyfriend, telling him to piss off because no one wanted him, and he did so, saying he was done putting in wasted effort, now he's gone I realise how much he did for us, or that his share of the bills paid the rent. We may lose our house because of me. FML

You could kick your mom to the curb and not invite her over for holidays.

If you love your wife, you have to stand up to your mother and tell her that what she did was totally unacceptable.

Not to play devils advocate, but if your Mom isn't the over protective type maybe you should listen. If she's just over protective I'm sorry!!! I get along awesome with my inlaws and my husband with his. Parents are sometimes right about your partners and you can & should listen, again if she's not typically over protective. Both my husband & I wish we'd listened to our mothers over the ueats.

Wow... Someone's mom is a little too ruthless. If I was your wife I would have told her that even though you got the great paying job, you were still putting her in the cheapest "home" you guys can find.

I'm a little lost and need some clarification. Did OP actually say what his mother heard, or did the wife conjure it up to anger OP's mom? I see it as a FHL either way. If OP said it, then it sucks because the relationship with his mother is THAT bad. But, if the wife did it, then it sucks because you have a craazy family :)

I think if I'm reading this right, what happened is as follows: - OP says "I finally got the job of my dreams" - Mother hears OP - Mother tells wife "OP finally got the job of his dreams, so now he can kick your useless ass to the curb" - Mother and wife get in fistfight
