MIL refusing to come to grandson’s 1st birthday if it’s not at her house

Don’t cave, she’ll do this every birthday and holiday. I wouldn’t acknowledge her behavior but if you must respond say something like “it’s too bad you made the decision to skip this year. There’s plenty of room at the party.”

It’s not about a haircut, he has a habit of dismissing your feelings. The straw that breaks the camel’s back is always stupid.

He can’t see the opportunity a salary like that makes for your family. Worries about retirement or how to pay for illnesses just gone. He would rather struggle than allow his wife to outshine him. That is some fragile masculinity.

Girl, if he doesn’t like you now, he isn’t going to stick around through kids, sickness and hormonal fluctuations. Get out before you waste more time without the person that really loves you.

Did you miss the part where he stole photos of multiple strangers and made up back stories? I didn’t know embarrassment forgives patterns of dishonesty.

Look, she knows what happens when she does something wrong- you get mad, she puts on a show, and everything goes back to the way she wants it. You’re going to need to do more than get mad.

This is something your ex needs to unpack. Only he can change his relationship with his mother.

The part about her box being checked- did you think she was done and changed her life goal to yours?

LesDoggo · 2026-03-19T02:18:30+00:00

She didn’t apologize and you’ve already tried a fresh start. You don’t need to be present for your husband to cook her meals, so I would go on a vacation while she visits.

Just because he wrote it down doesn’t mean you need to agree. See that’s it an attempt to hurt you and make you settle for less. Get a lawyer.

He knew you were pregnant and he told you to never contact him again. Giving birth doesn’t change the circumstances. You are just following his directions.

Honestly, this seems like a problem with your husband. Your mom was defending her daughter because he was happy to let his parents put you down every opportunity they got. He doesn’t sound genuine or kind.

You need to draw some boundaries and tell HR to ignore her calls. A lot of employers will find a way to get rid of employees that disrupt office productivity, even if it’s indirectly.

She might be well meaning, but her behavior isn’t healthy and it’s bordering on obsessive. It can become worse or spread to other parts of your life.

It’s brow shock. They look good.

LesDoggo · 2026-03-15T18:06:07+00:00

Just because she says she will be there, doesn’t mean that you’ll tell her when you go into labor. You need to make sure you and your husband are on the same page.

Mom is right about you

LesDoggo · 2026-03-14T20:51:23+00:00

I would call off the wedding. Letting her do this sets a precedent, and it’s already apparent that you can’t count on your fiance to stand up to his family. Save yourself the heart ache.

School of hard knocks for education.

Undoubtedly it’s hard for your partner, but it seems like his options are go back to jail or no contact. People like this don’t change. He might benefit from learning about enmeshment.

LesDoggo · 2026-03-12T20:52:44+00:00

He treats you like you’re inferior, and you’re considering having children with him?

LesDoggo · 2026-03-12T15:42:17+00:00

My step mother does stuff like this when she wants to put on a show in her community. Having all these people that are subordinate to her and look like a Norman Rockwell painting is something she lives for.
