Just some rambling rants ranging from BEC to bad bad. I just need to get it out of my system.
-
Mil gushes over LO, but put zero effort into building a relationship with LO or me. Ex. “Lo is just so perfect” over and over… Yeah, I know. Texting in all caps and way too many emojis in response to photos sent… never asks about LO or for pictures etc.
-
Mil calls LO “baby (LO’s name)” or “the baby,” never just by LO’s name. Lo is solidly a toddler. Mil had a ton of kids…seems to loves babies, but couldn’t care less about their needs once they were children.
-
Mil seems only interesting in including me in things so she can show off… again, no personal relationship. Ex. Threw me a bridal shower and baby shower after I already had ones (she was included.) All the guest were her friends and church ladies. It was more about her showing off and she literally copied the theme from my real showers. Invited me to a mother’s Day lunch put on by her church ladies (I already had plans) but didn’t even wish me a happy mother’s day.
-
Mil makes everything about herself and pretends like she’s the ultimate mom. ex. “Is the baby kicking? My babies were always active at this time of day.” “When I was pregnant…” “I always did A, B, C…” She literally neglected her children and is honestly not good with kids. (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
-
Mil seems to think that buying crap is a shortcut to having a relationship vs actually building one. She was very hands off before we had LO, which just seemed like respecting boundaries at the time, but after, she pushed all the boundaries. She wants all the benefits of a close relationship, but don’t want to put any effort into actually having one.
-
She has a major case of cognitive dissonance. Her whole persona built on all these ideals that, in reality, she does not live by at all.
-
Crazy conspiracy theories…not just ” maybe the government doesn’t care” kind of stuff, but stuff like “the Holocaust wasn’t real,” “the earth is flat,” “space isn’t real…etc “
-
Fil and GMIl are obsessed with feeding LO sweets. DH had to literally take 3 cookies from LO after telling them no multiple times. Both pester us about watching LO, but in what world would that happen when you can’t even respect our rules in front of us!?
-
Mil and Fil are literally only married because they refuse to divorce. They are never on the same page and events always get weird because they are so disconnected.
-
Mil and Fil seem to think that they are owed certain privileges because they are dh parents. They didn’t even do the bare min for dh and his siblings as kids, and Fil is a jerk and just calls his kids stupid when he sees them. They are upset because their kids don’t seem to want to be around them even though they don’t put in the work and are unpleasant to be around. It’s like their adult children don’t have to put up with their crap or something! Wow!
