Can i disclipine my MIL?! - Page 5

I might be inclined to get a PFA, if you think she really might come back, especially if she might come back with the dog.

FIL sounds like an okay dude, and if he really doesn't want to put up with her crap, he's a big boy and can get out. Maybe this'll help him take the initiative!

Grandma would have to do a complete change of character for her to ever see my kid again. I'm sure most people here can remember a time they were humiliated or bullied and it sticks with you. It needs to be nipped in the bud NOW. Also a serious talk with your DH about your daughters needs and how you want to raise her, because being around a grandma like that is not what I call healthy.

Now I have to read ahead.

Having read ahead, I agree with everyone applauding you and your dh! That was great that he stood up to her! She seems like a horrible, crazy person!!

The last vestige of his boyhood is now gone. Even if she tries to pull crap, it will never, ever have the same impact on him and she will never get that control back again.

I am sad for you guys that you lost any hope of a healthy relationship with her, and your dh will probably grieve the loss at times, but he will also now start to be able to heal and bond with you in a way he was unable to before.

A new era has begun. I celebrate for you.

Wow. Just wow. You so beautifully put into words what I have felt about my DH ever since he protected our family from his mother.

It is true -- I always *knew* my DH was strong, but when he stood up to his mother, I *felt* his strength. Truly wonderful. :

Wow, can you PM me this woman's phone number so I can call her up and tell her to go F herself?? Seriously, your post has me so angry and sad. I can't imagine how it must have felt for your poor DD (and you, and your family) to be treated this way. I would have totally lost it on her.

Well I cheered when reading your update : - great for you, great for dh and great for your family - well done all of you - give yourselves a Granma sounds like a real nutcase:

thats putting it mildly. i would have wanted to punch her, i am sorry! that is cruel and also just plain STUPID! i am sorry that you and your daughter had to go through that. i would not go over there again for a LOOOONG time.

I am so happy you told her to f*ck off.

Asking permission to use the toilet!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Good call on telling your MIL to f*ck off. I want to high five you through the screen for that! Your poor daughter.

I haven't read all 5 pages but I hope your MIL never sees your daughter again. I saw that you said that you aren't going over to her house anymore. I think that's a wise decision. That was some unnecessary bullying on your MIL's part and I wouldn't have my child anywhere near that.

[HelloKitty]

Wow, good for you telling her to F off and the whole second conversation was spectacular. Your DH was awesome too, I'm so glad he finally stood up to her!!!
