23 Nightmare Mothers-In-Law That’ll Make Yours Look Like A Saint

Okay, so I kind of hate the “monstrous mother-in-law” stereotype because it seems pretty sexist and doesn’t ask a lot of us in terms of consideration for the person on the end of that stereotype.

HOWEVER.

After perusing this list of 20 complete nightmares of mothers-in-law, I have to agree: they’re TERRIBLE and everyone should get as far away from them as possible.

1. “Didn’t let wildly abusive alcoholic MIL hold our son. She skulked off upstairs to send us lovely texts. We bolted right out the door.”

2. Not sure I follow?

My MIL ladies and gentlemen. 2 of her grandkids are gay, including my stepdaughter.

3. Oh lord, who cares?!

4.

My mother-in-law always adjusts all our hanging pictures when she visits. Always makes them crooked.

5. I’m so lost, what on earth

6. Sublte.

Mother-in-law just served me this piece of cake…

7. “Transphobic mother-in-law asks me about my legal name/gender marker change, gets mad that I make it all about me.”

8. What an escalation

9. Whoa!

10. Gave her family COVID

11. I’m on the floor

I love my mother-in-law but she’s a bit narrow-minded politically

12. Ah yes

My Mother in Law. Always posting stuff like this then claiming it was an accident. This is in Australia where you can’t take 2 steps without seeing the word Christmas

14. One update later

Not FB but I present to you a text from my mother-in-law, who saw that her FB looked different after an update and called the police…

15. Banana!

My mother in law eats one bite of a new banana every morning and leaves the rest on the counter “in case anyone wants one”

17. What a hurtful person

MIL practically calls her daughter ugly for cutting her hair. I call her out on it. Argument ends with her saying I have “mommy issues”. My mom left me when I was a teen and caused me a lot of mental trauma. MIL purposely used that and my broken family as a way to attack me for defending my SIL

18. Not happening

My MIL legitimately asked my fiancé to change our wedding date because of his sister’s birthday falling in the same month

19. God said so!

Insane MIL thinks God gives her the right to ignore our boundaries. More in comments.
