Today, I overheard my mother-in-law and sister-in-law over the baby monitor. They were talking about how much better off my daughter would be if I were to die. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I overheard my mother and sister talking so I stopped to eavesdrop. I recently enlisted in the Marines, and they were talking about what they would do with the money if I died. FML
Today, I overheard my girlfriend telling her friend, "Actually, it's a good thing she died, she was quite a bitch." She was talking about my mother. FML
Today, I overheard my in-laws talking about me. It started off with light insults and ended with, "People like her are the reason murder ain't always wrong". FML
Today, I overheard my mother-in-law say to her daughter "I can't wait for you to make me a real grandma." I'm pregnant with their first grandchild. FML
Today, I overheard my mother saying that if murder were legal, there would be absolutely no chance that I wouldn’t have been killed as a baby. FML
Today, while chatting with my in-laws, I told them about my upcoming spinal surgery. Soon after, when I went to get us some drinks, I overheard them murmuring about how many surgeries I've already had, how I'm a drain on the healthcare system, and how I should ideally just die. FML
Today, I was feeling depressed. I overheard my mom crying on the phone. She said, “If my daughter kills herself, who’s going to do the dishes?” FML
Today, my mother-in-law confessed that for the longest time, she had fantasies about killing me for "ruining" her daughter's life, basically because I'm not wealthy enough for my mother-in-law's standards. She made sure to let me know the situation hasn't changed at all. FML
Today, my daughter apparently has had enough of my mother-in-law's favoritism and constant bashing of me by telling her, "Grandma, might I highly recommend death at this point?" She's 7. FML
Today, while talking to my sister, I explained to her that the reason I hope I end up having a girl is I want my daughter to love me the way I "used" to love my own mother. I didn't mean to say it in the past tense. My sister told my mom. She's planning my baby shower. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Step 1: Call them into whatever room you have the receiver in. Step 2: Go into the baby's room and start talking about how great baby monitors are. Step 3: ??? Step 4: Profit

Well OP the solution is simple. Fake your death and see what happens. JK I'm sure they don't know your daughter like you do, any kid would be lost without their mother, I know I would be

Hey, man, as long as it's not your wife right? My husband's mother thinks the same thing of me, but I try not to let that get to me. My husband's opinion is the only one that matters, as should your wife's be to you :)

OP is the wife (gender symbol is female). Also, yes it does matter what your spouse's family says about you, especially if it's something that horrible. Imagine if this continues when OP's daughter is older and they influence her about her mother when no one's around. OP should definitely discuss with them and the spouse.

Cut off connection and then it might seem like you died. Plus you never have to see them again.

The number of people failing at English in the comments, as well as OP's failure at English astounds me. Nevertheless, your life sucks, OP

put a baby monitor in the room when they are both with eachother and put in on full volume, then talk about them just like how they did with you. done.

Sit down with your husband and tell him to tell his family if they can't play nice, they are not welcomed in your household. Last thing you need is in laws who undermine your authority over your child.

Record that for your significant other. Kick them out, and keep that recording for later. I am sure you can get a protection order if you feel you will ever need it.

Ok, so this might be a little harsh, but maybe it's time for some self reflection. I know family can be rough, but most people don't generally wish actual death on people. I feel like there is way more to this story- are you a mass murderer? Do you kick puppies? Why do they feel that way?
