Miscellaneous: Today, my crazy mother-in-law threatened to camp out outside...

Today, my crazy mother-in-law threatened to camp out outside my house so she will "never get left out" of our lives, all because we called instead of sending a written invitation to my three-year-old's birthday party. I actually believe she's crazy enough to do it. FML

Today, I'm hiding in my own house, because my crazy neighbor wants to "play." Yesterday when I agreed, she made me spend the whole day with her, then burst into tears when I had to leave. She's been waiting outside for over two hours. FML

Today, and since we've had our baby, my mother-in-law started coming round more often, then bringing her stuff to stay overnight, then started claiming she lived here, and got hysterical when we told her she doesn’t. I had to pick her up and place her outside while she punched me in the head repeatedly. FML

Today, my hateful mother-in-law showed up unexpectedly. I faked taking a phone call so the bitter old hag would leave me alone. She then pulled out her phone, called my number, and glared at me as my phone rang against my ear. FML

Today, almost half of my birthday party invitees are refusing to attend, simply because my mother-in-law is going to be there, and their hatred of her Karen-like behaviour is greater than their desire to celebrate my birthday. FML

Today, my mother-in-law told my fiancé that I had to leave and wasn’t allowed to live there anymore. I own the house. She’s mad because I locked the door so she couldn't walk in anytime she wanted. FML

Today, I think the only reason my mom hosts my kid's birthday, and other parties at her huge house in the country, is so she can be a complete bitch to us on the day, and if we even sound annoyed, it's, "Well, this is my home, I don't have to open it to anyone." FML

Family day

Today, all I wanted was to take my two kids and their two favourite cousins to the beach on their last day of vacation together. My mother-in-law went into full beast mode, shouting about how I'm always roaming around and being irresponsible. The kids never meet and are from different cities. FML

Today, my mother in law accidentally cc'd me on an email she was sending to my husband, telling him that his youth is fleeting and that he should leave me while he still has time. FML

Today, my future mother-in-law started shit-talking me on Facebook, and we got into a heated argument. She called me later in the day, saying I'll be lucky if I ever marry her son and that, "You'll suffer to your last breath." I'm now terrified to set foot outside. FML

You could totally call the cops on her and say we have an uninvited camper @ our house!

Oh god x_x I'd suggest investing in some sprinklers for the yard, to avoid any "unwanted guests"..

Tell her to go ahead and camp out in the back yard. Then when something comes up, while she is still camping in the back yard, you can tell her you just sent her an invitation through the mail, and if she wants to come, she has to RSVP and the phone number to RSVP is on the invitation(this is assuming she doesn't have your cell phone number, and if she does, get a prepaid phone just for this).

I believe the OP has just learned, if she didn't already know it, the meaning of the saying that you don't just marry an individual, you marry a whole family.

Is your name Debra, and is hers Marie? (No wait, they were across the street, not backyard. Still...)

This will totally be my mom in about 3.5 years. She gets all bent out of shape over people using Facebook or text messages as a communication tool instead of sending cards or even calling someone. She's also borderline psychotic.
