Ok This Is Ridiculous

[LadyKay]

Okay, so I made a post here about the peanut butter issue and my mother in law.  So whenever me or my daughter go to eat something, she says "when it is gone I won't be buying anymore." She has also said that she is only going to buy stuff that SHE eats.  So.......yesterday my husband got paid for a job he did( he's a contractor) so I got some grocery money. Since she has stated she is only going to buy stuff that she eats. And has also told me I need to buy my own milk and bread. That and I am sick of hearing that phrase being side "when it is gone I wont be buying anymore". I went yesterday and bought a whole cart load of groceries for me and my daughter. Mostly stuff for her lunch. But has soon as I got into the car, she started complaining that I bought too much and there is no room in the house for all the food that I bought! Even though there is an extra frig in the basement. I told her that she had been complaining about us eating up her food, so I got my own.  She continue to complain about the amount of food I bought all the way back to the house and today she is still on my case about it.

 

This is utterly ridiculous! There is no other way to put it! I can not express my frustration with the whole situation. I thought that she would be happy that I bought my own food so that I will not be eating up hers. But no! All this women can do is complain! As if she is the only one who has any problems!  My daughter is telling me that she hates grandma, which I am very concern about.  I did consider the homeless shelter ideal. But I am in a very small town and the closes shelter that I had only heard of it about 20 miles away in another town. It would mean taking my daughter out of school and putting her into another one. I really do not want to do that as it has already happen once this year. My husband told me to ignore her. Right now my only outlet is to pop on here and vent my frustration to you guys. This is a situation I should have never been put into. I got married thinking that I would be living with my husband, not my inlaws. But I can not talk about how this has come about right now. So here I am.

 

Well thanks for letting me vent my feelings. God Bless!

Hi Lady,

 

It sounds to me that you should look where else to live--this is not a healthy situation,is there nobody you can go for help? I wouldn't be able to stand it for 5 minutes~~~~ N-0~~

Can you talk to your minister and is there somebody who can help you out?

Some people complain just to complain. I assume this is your husband's mother? Teach your child to love her grandma try to show the woman your love since it sounds as though she knows no love and perhaps that and thanking her for her generosity may change her. Can you ask the church if you can volunteer during the day to get you out of the house... Can you find any job no matter how menial to give you some money and outside time.?

Do you have to live with this lady?

It is important, in my opinion, that you both show love for your mother-in-law, but also do not take everything she dishes out. If she is complaining, then you need to point out that complaints are not welcome. If you are silent, your child will soon come to the point where she will rise up to defend you, and she may not have the wisdom you do.

 

Does your husband live elsewhere? He needs to make a decision.

Sounds like she may just be upset that your staying in the house but doesn't want to kick you out-so she's just taking it out on you. I would recommend being patient and praying for her and the situation and as soon as feasible find your own place. Remember a kind answer turneth away wrath.
