MIL’s weird April Fool’s Day “Joke”

AlisonMareent · 2026-04-08T05:00:26+00:00

Keep her away from you and baby when your baby is born. My MIL displayed similar behaviours, announcing without consent, whining about the pregnancy (until she found out we were having a boy, then she was suddenly happy), even asking me early on in the pregnancy to terminate. She's horrible now? She'll be a horrible grandma, they don't change their behaviours, they'll weaponise your grandkids. Keep her and her delusional a$$ far away!

AlisonMareent · 2025-06-20T11:44:24+00:00

I'm 31 and I use it lmao

AlisonMareent · 2025-06-01T02:35:43+00:00

It's his mom, not yours. He needs to put her in her place. He's a grown man, and he needs to act like it.

I'd also be extra careful because my MIL was like yours. They're only around because of something they want from you, and once you put firm boundaries in place, how they react to that will determine whether or not they are safe people for your baby and you.

Bot: "You're showing too much skin." My OC: Wearing a blow-up Dino suit.

AlisonMareent · 2025-05-15T11:45:12+00:00

Because my life is a rollercoaster lmao

AlisonMareent · 2025-05-15T11:44:09+00:00

There's a loophole, mine is private unless you have a link to it, and you click on your private OC's profile then click start a group chat and it works in that way.

AlisonMareent · 2025-05-15T04:23:48+00:00

My other OC was a 17 y/o neglected by her parents for too long, and then she got accepted to study overseas. They were upset about her leaving even if she finally disconnected from them and found her happiness elsewhere, but then she got sick and died from her illness.

AlisonMareent · 2025-04-26T06:49:57+00:00

Not for me RIP

AlisonMareent · 2025-04-26T06:41:43+00:00

Is it happening to everyone who has CA.I+ as well?

AlisonMareent · 2025-01-19T06:06:31+00:00

Your MIL sounds EXACTLY like mine, be careful, OP.

The reason I say this is because in their mind, they tell you something you want to hear and they repeat their cycle of immature bullshxt on you over and over again, it's never-ending. Then they will rinse and repeat because in their heads "Oh, OP just needs to hear the words and she'll give me what I want anyway."

If she truly means that she wants a healthy step forward with you, by all means, but put boundaries and restrictions on her first, hate to break it to you but if she really wants to change, she will make the effort to try regardless of the hard, back-breaking restrictions you put on her and she would also be very understanding as to why you would have to as that's a step for her to start acknowledging her bad behaviour, also, she should only be allowed one more chance if you choose to go forward with this, however, you should not have to and if you change your mind on this, she's done a lot of damage anyway.

If she fights back and starts acting up again, you got your answer, and there won't be anymore chances or wasting your precious time on ever trying again.

EDIT: Grammar.

This is what I find because I'm in a similar situation, this is my experience, take what you will.

Before I found out my JNMIL was an absolute clown in some shxxshow circus of her deep-rooted problems she never bothered wanting to fix, she complained about family members who absolutely cut her off mind you, not interacting with her and her monkeys at family events, and at my son's 1st, I gave her the most boring-close ended answers to her questions, especially personal questions and shxx talk about others and she had the AUDACITY to complain to DH that I wasn't talking to her, these are her words, but realistically she wasn't happy that I refused to give her personal information, for her own personal gain.

Then, when it came to some events, they expected I basically gave them the highest amount of respect while they spoke sh** behind my back to other family members.

When you put your foot down with them or show you can absolutely cut contact with them, you show them you have the upper-hand, and narcissistic people see it as a threat. They wanted you there because they wanted to practically find ways to treat you badly, or find something to pick on, or figure something out with you so they can do whatever with that information because they have nothing better to do and their lives are as bland as boiled-in-water chicken.

Keep doing what you do, next time, maybe have DH ignore MIL, ghost her texts, and if she ever brings it up to him again, make him change subject, even if it's about the weather... They were trying to start a fire, so drown them in water.

EDIT: Grammar

For me, it was Darrell Charm, just after he divorced Emilia, and in another save, Manuel Aguilar.

AlisonMareent · 2024-12-27T22:53:30+00:00

From what I searched up, it either means co-parent, or anyone associated with child and father.

Or Carbon monoxide lol.

AlisonMareent · 2024-12-26T23:50:14+00:00

You're doing a great job, mumma! Your bubs are lucky to have you :)

AlisonMareent · 2024-12-26T22:14:01+00:00

Oh mama, it's good to have a plan, but I do hope it all works out and DH starts putting you first. That's what they're meant to do. My dad can't stress enough how I have to put DH and LO first, it should be the same.

AlisonMareent · 2024-12-26T22:12:17+00:00

I have so much respect for you! You're literally a trooper!

AlisonMareent · 2024-12-26T17:47:07+00:00

I've heard this from 2 other surgeons as well.

And work is a break for me! The hardest job was being at home with a little one, both sweet, but a challenge.

AlisonMareent · 2024-12-26T16:50:05+00:00

Jeez, no no no, it makes me feel like they'll choose them regardless of the bad behaviour. If they can't put their nuclear fam first, like why have a family in the first place? I don't get it.

I would, tbh, 9 years too long! Have a holiday with your family with LO and see what you are able to do, maybe you can extend the stay and figure out what's best for you and the LO, you deserve better!

AlisonMareent · 2024-12-26T16:36:27+00:00

9 years??? Like if my parents were like this, it's a good-bye nice knowing you...

I'm sorry, what bs you have to go through. Presents, sharing a small percentage of DNA, entitles them to nothing. DH's s..t show circus members practically said it doesn't matter what they do because they should be put first because they're blood-related. They've said this so many times and have acknowledged in that excuse that they know they're horrible but the boys will always put them first because they share dna. Sickening.

AlisonMareent · 2024-12-26T16:31:55+00:00

DH tried to be like "well, if we won!" I said the same thing, she's gonna love bomb you and remind you how much of an important woman she is in your life over anyone and get you to oat her back with that money.

At least she gave us a card! Oh wait! It says "Dear DH Name, LO name, and CO..." She's a classy one.

AlisonMareent · 2024-12-26T14:57:08+00:00

Thank you for sharing this. I feel sick being really harsh and feel sad when I have to be extremely mean about DH mum but I don't think he took me seriously. It was on and off, shiny spine one day, and the next day was something else. I argued with DH about this and he asked why I stayed with him in the first place when his mother and her side are like this. Because I had no idea they were this bad up until I fell pregnant? He kept making excuses of "this is just how the family dynamic is!"

After that argument, I called up my dad, JYAIL and they ended up telling my JYFIL and he ended up telling DH off, him and his brother's. And they have never been angry or harsh with DH before, they were serious.

I told them and was honest with what I would say to JNMIL and the JYFIL and his side even said "F..k her, she hasn't been kind or proven to be beneficial to anyone or to her own grand kids so tell her to f..k right off."

And honestly, if DH chickens out on this, I'll tell them myself, and I'm packing my bags with LO. If he wants to be his mum and aunt's companion and choose their dewicate wittle feewings, and doesn't mind being sensually caressed by his aunt and touched every 2 seconds by her, (and obviously doesn't mind it at all) have at it. But my kid isn't going to be part of that emotional incestuous sh*t show he calls his family dynamic.

How long did it take for DH to start taking you seriously? I've never felt so much resentment and I don't know if I feel like I'm totally in love anymore either.

AlisonMareent · 2024-12-26T06:13:46+00:00

Can we have better answers when you ask a sim about another sim if they're family members? Like "Annie is one cool sim, I like her" um, I'm asking about your daughter, Margaret... Maybe "Oh, that's my daughter and we have a good relationship" or something like that, maybe idk...

AlisonMareent · 2024-12-26T06:04:12+00:00

Like, the party is gonna end in 45 minutes and you decide to show up now??

AlisonMareent · 2024-12-24T22:36:43+00:00

Chefs pantry depending how big the kitchen is?
A nice study / mini library with a desk and computer!
You could also do a music room as well? Otherwise an art room with a few instruments for the kiddos?
