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?

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

Are you a bad mother or something? Maybe think about the things you've done that they may dislike you for..

How did this debate turn into 'how many parents (and of which gender)? This should be about what need to be done about her mother-in-law and her sister-in-law. I think she could do without these toxic people in her life. Let the baby's father go to see them by himself, and she should just drop them out of her life. She doesn't need people saying things like that in front of her child.

Kill them first to assert your dominance.

I wonder, did they have any valid points? I know it would be hard not to be defensive but did they state reasons or give any explanation as to why they feel this way? To think your daughter would be better off without you means either they're very narrow minded and you're not the mother they think you should be (not saying they're right, everyone does not need to be the same) or you have some issues you could address....

THANK YOU. this is the first time ive seen someone being reasonable and looking at all sides of something instead of jumping on the bandwagon of vehemently defending OP and acting like they're a complete saint with everyone else out to unfairly get them

I agree. I always assume that when someone tell a crazy story the story is: crazy. And if this really did happen it must've had a reason. OP should consider his/her relationsship to the child.
