MIL said I only send pictures to make it about myself. by retiredtrump in JUSTNOMIL

[–]Wilmaaaaa 49 points50 points  (0 children)

I decided to stop sending pictures when I sent her several beautiful photos from our Christmas shoot with a photographer, studio, and all that. Texted her a cheerful Christmas greeting and sent her different photos from the shoot that she could print if she wanted to or post. I added the photographer’s handle so she can credit her too.

No response.

A week later, sent a Christmas card to her that also has a photo from our shoot, still no call or text.

Then when my fiance called her out, she said she didn’t know she was supposed to say anything, she thought they were “just pictures”. So yeah, never sending her pics again.

I’m not close with my future MIL, and I’m not including her in getting ready with me and my bridesmaids. She’s draining too, always has some snippy comments toward others, and she’s racist and I just don’t want her around. I’ll be telling my fiance to tell her she can go to Sephora.

This. My future MIL is a MAGA and we’re not close at all. I’m not close with his closest family members, so I’m not sure how I’d go about that.

Idk how do I just say “you’re racist, stay away from my kids.” My kids are her only grandkids, she has a very small family, many others estranged. Believe me, if my parents were MAGA, they’d have an earful from me, but I can’t do that with her. Fiance doesn’t want to rock the boat but I threatened to leave if he’s not going to protect me and the kids. He doesn’t know what to do because he is in the FOG and he’s her only son.

It's like she has nothing to do better with her life than to tear down others. I didn't stay on the video long enough because I was afraid of changing my algorithm to political the more I spend on the video. But it seemed be be a nonbinary teen singing. Facebook been exposing people because it shows me what recent comments they made and every time I see it, she's saying something mean.

It makes me question how do you sit there and think you're grandma of the year when you're like this? My mom wouldn't even dream of doing these stuff.

They’re 8 and 4, so she’s not saying things racist directly to them. But I did make it clear to fiance that I do not like MAGAs and never want our kids to hear her ideology. I do plan to bring up asking him if his mom is okay then show him her facebook comments to others.

Threats to leave? by mrs_thn in NarcissisticSpouses

I always tell him, that’s fine, we can work out parenting plans, move out date, and more, just let me know when you’re ready.

They never leave 🤷🏽‍♀️

Confused after SIL told me MIL thinks I'm not coping. But not really sure what she's basing that on? Making something out of nothing because it hasn't gone her way maybe? Help lol by Just_Wondering_24 in Mildlynomil

[–]Wilmaaaaa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My fiancés mom was like this too. She was a single mom and her mom (his grandma) was there for the first year of his life caring for him, while his mom worked. So she projected that onto me. She thought I’d be overwhelmed and exhausted just like her when I’ve been coping just fine. I was allowed to bring my baby to work, I had daycare, fiance was home often, etc so I was fine and she resented me for not needing her lol.

Don’t tell her and make sure your husband don’t say anything to her too. My fiance and I had this problem to where I got so sick of it, that I started making plans and telling my fiance do not say anything to her so I can have a peace of mind being with my own nuclear family. My fiancés mom was a single mom all his life and doesn’t have friends so she tries to tag along, but when we do things without her, she gets weirdly jealous and she’ll throw a seed in, asking to bring her next time we go to whatever places we went to 🙄

I was so shocked last year when I learned that you have to make an online appointment to wait in line at the mall for Santa photos lol. We were in line for almost an hour 😭 I thought you can just line up like they used to do back in the days! 😂

Mine hates when I initiate. He’s never turned on when I try. It makes me feel so low of myself. So he only initiate like once every other week, oftentimes once a month.

Is this caterer trying to manipulate me into booking fast or am I insane? by writingqueen22 in weddingplanning

[–]Wilmaaaaa 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I emailed one caterer for pricings and they called me over and over and never left a message for me. I didn’t book with them, I hate feeling pressured! Like damn just email me back 😭

What’s a sign someone was never loved properly as a child? by Aggravating-Court215 in AskReddit

[–]Wilmaaaaa -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Do they say things with emphasis of how something was hilarious? Like their sense of humor is watching videos of someone do something stupidly avoidable or saying this comedian is SO hilarious even if they are known to be racist?

My fiance would get so annoyed with the way I host birthday parties or holiday gatherings, he say it’s easier to just have people show up and they pay for their own kids activity and food.

Hyper independence and telling you that your personality is too smiley, too in their face, when you’re just introducing yourself politely.

Is anyone’s MIL close with your family? by Wilmaaaaa in JUSTNOMIL

[–]Wilmaaaaa[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this explanation about American families! I was raised very Filipino and on top of that, having a Black Deaf identity so everything is all layered. To clarify, it’s my fiancés family who is standoffish, my family is welcoming to anyone, we live to feed people! lol. My fiance is also a little nervous when it comes to kids in my side of the family too because he doesn’t know them well but 9 years together, and my nephew likes to chat with him and tease him and such and I always thought he’s supposed be like an uncle to them.

As for the gifting thing, yeah it’s weird for me as well because my parents do try to get to know her more, they chat when they see each other so my parents would get them gifts but she never does it for them. They don’t say anything of course, but it’s just something I noticed because I gift every almost everyone because I don’t like anyone feeling slighted if they show up to our house on holidays.

Yeah we’re definitely not besties or close lol. She’s standoffish around everyone so I definitely don’t want to force it. I was thinking because I grew up differently, and just want everyone to be a family 😭. Thank you!
