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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I visited my in-laws, whom I thought I was on great terms with. I soon learned that wasn't the case when my mother-in-law yelled at me about how I've been abusing her for years. Ten minutes later, she hugged me and asked me for grandkids. 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, while I was sitting in the living room with my mother, my phone rang. She immediately exclaimed, "I'm not calling you! Why is it going off?" She was serious. My own mother doesn't believe people talk to me. FML
Today, my mother-in-law yelled from across the house for me to come quickly. She sounded frantic, so I rushed and asked what was wrong. She said, "Nothing." and that she just wanted to remind me that she hates my guts. She'll be living here with me and my wife for the next two months. FML
Today, I got a call from my mom's new husband. It lasted 3 minutes and those 3 minutes were of him telling me how sad I make my mom for just existing, how jealous I make her because I'm living a life she wished she was. Turns out, she told him to call me and say that because I have her blocked. FML
Today, I summoned the courage to call my abusive mother-in-law about her non-payment of the money I stupidly lent her last year. She replied, "Why don't you go deepthroat a cactus, then we'll talk about it, cunt." and then hung up on me. FML
Today, someone knocked at my door. I saw it was my Mom, so I flattened myself against the door and tried to be as quiet as possible. I pulled my phone out and almost had silenced it before she called and heard the ringtone through the door. I had to invite her in and hear the usual "get married and have kids." FML
Today, I was at a job interview when my phone started ringing. It was my mom, so I quickly hit "Ignore", which was probably for the best since she was obviously drunk. She left a voicemail in which she sang "Happy Birthday" to me. It's not my birthday. FML
Today, my mother-in-law took a phone message on the back of my marriage license. FML
Today, I needed to call my mom to get some info so I dialled the number on my work phone. Not 2 seconds after, my cellphone rang. I got super pissed off because I hate when people call me on my cell at work. It was me. I'd dialled my own number. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

You should have looked her square in the eye and said "hold on I have another call", and answered it

I hate mother-in-laws who won't at least try to embrace their child's partner. It's icky how they try and keep control over a fully grown adult and don't respect their decisions. (unless of course the partner is abusive or their child is underage etcetc)

What a bitch! Time for a divorce
AddictGamer 16
I don't know many people that marry their mother-in-law #3.
DamnBailie 23
Why would you get a divorce because of a bitchy mother in law? Id say bring it to attention with the spouse instead
pubeboy 16
You guys don't understand. A bad mother in law can ruin YOUR LIFE
nutella4life 14
I laughed so hard at the stupidity in that comment
phreaker913 21
i love how everyone that says that this mentality is stupid, is either female, or has a nice mother in law. those of us that know the struggle agree with you #3
lovelockdown23 23
having a horrible mother in law can definitely ruin your marriage. especially if your spouse refuses to defend you or speak up.

Honestly you have the right to just leave. I'm so sorry that she's your mother in law & I hope through out time you guys will get along.

Why should she leave her own home?
gobiteme2 34
It would have been okay if she didn’t leave her home. Trouble is that she showed upped unexpectedly which means 1) they are renting from her. or 2) they are living in mother-in-law’s house. Only thing they should do is pick up and run fast, very fast, far, far away!

Because despite your own feelings you have to he respectful of your in laws. That's how us Italians do it.

52 it doesn't matter if you are renting from them at all they still aren't allowed to be there if they aren't welcomed. Plus a mother-in-law showing up unexpectedly doesn't mean she had power over their home somehow sometimes people do visit without calling first.
mikbrooke 25
52, or 3) the MIL just decided to show up at the OPs place because she felt like it. just because she decided to show up unexpectedly, does not mean they either rent from the MIL or live in her house. mothers & MILs, can and will do as they want, even if it is unappreciated.

#64 I'd never respect anyone that refuses to show me any respect.

female dogs have an increase in smell and hearing than humans do and can use that in all kinds of ways picking up on moods and actions of other organisms
