CRAZY IN-LAWS

(December, 2022) With Christmas coming and family visits in your future, Reddit asked, “What’s the most unhinged thing an in-law has ever done?” Some of the responses:
– “Less than one minute after being married, my mother-in-law ran down the aisle and whispered in my ear, ‘He will always be MY baby.'”
– “When my mother-in-law was 70, part of the celebrations was a four-day cruise. My husband was invited without me. He came back furious. She had spent the whole four days nagging him to divorce me! We had been married for over 20 years and had two adult daughters.”
– “My mother-in-law did not want to go to our wedding because it was out of town, and she said it was too expensive. The next week, she bought herself a large flat-screen TV.”
– “My father-in-law and mother-in-law were in town for a doctor’s appointment. They had instructions to go home and administer an enema for my mother-in-law. Instead, they came to my house and did the procedure ON OUR GUEST BED! They didn’t tell us until they were ready to leave and had soiled bedding and towels.”
– “My husband passed away from cancer while our children were young (ages 7 and 10). My mother-in-law sent my sister-in-law to my house to get back everything she had ever given us, including wedding presents.”
– “My fiancé (boyfriend at the time) and I were excited to spend our first Valentine’s Day together. We had planned to cook dinner, drink wine, and watch movies. I got home from work to see a decoration hanging in our window. Thought he was being sweet. Nope, his mother was sitting on the couch next to the gifts he had bought me and planned to stay the night with us.”
– “My mother-in-law put garbage laying around HER yard into MY car instead of tossing it in her dumpster.”
– “My mother-in-law answered the phone on speakerphone while sitting next to me (mind you, this is the first time I met her) and informed the person that she was speaking with that why, yes, she did actually like me, but no one else in the family did. She then looked me dead in the eyes and said, ‘Oh, I think she can hear me,’ and proceeded to tell the other person that the entire family, which consisted of six siblings, thought I trapped my husband into marriage by getting pregnant.”
– “My mother-in-law tried to talk me into letting my sister-in-law breastfeed my newborn son.”
