If you had a chance to read my last post, you know that my Mother-in-Law is pretty hateful.  I'm sure plenty of us deal with annoying in-laws, but this lady seriously takes the cake.

My boyfriend is a huge mama's boy, and they have the weirdest relationship I've ever seen.  I'm not just saying that; it seriously creeps me out sometimes.  We live less than a mile from her, and he sees her every single day.  He also calls her about 10 or 12 times a day, no joke, and sends anywhere from 20 to 50+ text messages per day.  She frequently invites herself on our dates and was mad that he didn't tell her when we started sleeping together.  It's just a little too much to handle.

He has very few friends, and I'm the first serious girlfriend he's ever had.  And this man is in his twenties.  After meeting his mother, I now understand why. 

Now that you have a bit of background on the situation, I'm going to share a list of my favorite texts, emails, and comments from this crazy woman.  Most of the texts were sent to my boyfriend, not me (yes, I read his phone - spare me the lecture), but she's definitely said plenty of nutty things to me, too.

Anyway, here's the list:

•   You should stop paying your share of rent so your girlfriend gets evicted and looks like a bad mom.

Just for the record, this is my all-time favorite insane text from my Mother-in-Law.  I mean seriously, who says stuff like that?  Who encourages a guy to stop paying bills just to make his girlfriend look bad?  Oh, and FYI, HIS name was on the lease as the primary leaseholder, not mine.  He would have looked just as bad, if not worse, if he stopped paying.  Which he has, but that's a story for another post.

•  Don't tell your girlfriend that you know she has postpartum depression.  She'll just use it to get attention from you.

No, you crazy old hag, I would use it to get SUPPORT.  I don't need attention.  I need a supportive partner.  I had no support and went through it alone.  It was extremely difficult and lonely.

•   "You're selfish and overreacting".

She said this because I was upset that she took my boyfriend on a tropical cruise 4 weeks after our son was born.  For almost 9 days.  In the middle of winter.  Oh, and I had 2 kids and no car.  Mine was broken down, and she convinced him to park the vehicle we were sharing at HER house so that I'd be trapped inside all day.  I live in a city with no public transportation, no family, and no friends in the area.  Did I mention I was out of formula the day he left?  Thank goodness somebody I knew saved the day.  

•   You need to just take the baby and leave your girlfriend.  I know you only go out with her because you feel sorry for her.

She sends messages like this all the time because she can't believe her son would like any female other than her,  I guess.

•   You need to go out and have fun.  You should be out getting drunk with your friends, not at home with her and the kids.  You're too young for all this.

Yay.  Let's all encourage irresponsible parenting.  Good job, Mother-in-Law.  You're the best.

• From now on, promise me you'll only listen to me and not your girlfriend.  You need to only do what I tell you.

I could go on for hours, but I think you get the idea.  This woman is crazy.  She needs to move to another state or something.  I can't take much more of her.
