I Kind of Hate My in-Laws.?
Question by I<3 Sarcasm!: I kind of hate my in-laws.?
Ok so I posted this in another section but I want to get a feel for what other moms think too.
On Saturday my husband decided to take our 4 year old daughter and 2 year old son to his parents house for a little while so me and our 9 month old could take a nap because she was sick.
At 8 p.m. he shows up with both kids (my daughter was supposed to spend the night) and they don’t even have shoes on. My 4 year old is shaking like a leaf!
He tells me he is never going to his parents house again! Then he tells me he should have known there would be a problem because as soon as he got to his parents house he noticed his dad was buzzed. His dad is a funtioning alcoholic who thinks nobody knows. He hides whiskey in bathroom cabinets and really shouldn’t be drinking because he is diabetic.
Anyway, it was pouring out so the kids were inside and my son who is 2 saw something on the t.v. and started banging on it. My husband told him to stop but it didn’t matter, my father-in-law got mad and said he should put handcuffs on my son when he comes over because my son is always touching stuff. So my husband just shrugged it off which I guess pissed off my FIL more so he told my husband “that’s why I don’t like you bringing your kids here because they make a mess and my house is going to end up looking like yours!”
My husband got mad and left with our kids.
Okay, for starters, my house is ALWAYS clean. Its messy at times but its to be expected because I have a 9 month old a 2 year old and a 4 year old and my main focus is them not making the house look like a museum. The reason why we go to their house is because if we don’t we never see them because they don’t ever bother coming to ours and we only live 5 minutes away. My final thought is, how dare he say something so rude and about his grandkids! They’ve never broken anything of his and one time when my son did damage the door to the dvd player my husband went and bought them a new one that same day.
We are always helping his parents. In fact, we weren’t able to refinance because we took out a loan against our house to help them get out of debt only to have to make them a personal loan 1 year later.
Anytime his father is drinking which is always he makes a stupid comment about something but expects all to be forgiven because he was drunk. I want my children to have grandparents, sadly both of my parents have died over the past few years and they are all my kids have. Is it wrong of me to not want anything to do with them? I think about my kids well being and I don’t want them to be hurt by something one of their grandparents said.
My MIL is just as bad, she’s said some terrible things. When I was pregnant with my first and I told her it was a girl she had the nerve to say” Oh thats just too bad because we really wanted a boy!” So I told her that she and her husband should try to have one then! Her and her husband are only 50 but they are always throwing in our faces that they are reaching the end of their lives and we should let them live how they want to live which is with a bottle!
I am so fed up and aggrevated! I don’t know what to do at this point. It makes me so angry and sad!

Don’t worry your not the only one…I don’t kind of hate my in laws…I CAN’T STAND THEM and hate the guts out of them and don’t ever want to see them again. And if my hubby does not like it then he can jolly go on with them and completely forget that I exist, I don’t care as long as I never have to deal with them again…sorry for venting.
