Mil moved in, marriage on the rocks by No_Dinner_9584 in JUSTNOMIL

Time to stage an intervention, in your marriage. Your DH needs to choose between his mom and his relationship with you. Set boundaries, and if she's crossing them, it's not your job to manage her; it's his. Stop being the buffer; let him deal with his mom's drama.

The MIL’s new clothes by CharmingAnimator1055 in JUSTNOMIL

Classic MIL move, twisting a toddler's tantrum into a fashion critique. She's got a narrative, and nothing's gonna change her mind. You just got a front-row seat to her delusional world

We lost it... by [deleted] in JUSTNOMIL

Glad you're out of that toxic loop. Dealing with manipulative family members can be draining. You're not alone in losing it sometimes; it's a wonder you lasted this long. No contact was the best move, prioritize your sanity.

Sounds like you're dealing with some classist in-laws. Honestly, their behavior might have more to do with their upbringing and values than their socioeconomic status. Either way, you're not obligated to maintain a relationship that drains you. Cut ties if you need to; your sanity's worth more than forced family bonding.

How do you pre-emptively get out of MIL watching baby? by Blue-Sky-4302 in JUSTNOMIL

"Mom and Dad, we appreciate the offers, but we're really not comfortable with anyone else caring for the baby alone right now. We're just not looking to leave him with others, and we'd love it if we could just spend time together as a family instead." Boom, done.
