In-Law

It's not easy to get along with the mother in-law especially when she is not understandable. We should treat them as well as our own parents but it doesn't means we must do anything they want us to do. Mother in-law, as cunning as yours, should be rejected next time.

I really don't like or dislike my in-laws,but if they did something like that then I would definitely have to confront them. I would know that I would not be giving them anymore money if they lied about what they needed it for. Also I would definitely discuss it with my husband to see what he had to say because its ridiculous for her to take advantage of you all like that especially if she knows that money is tight for you right now. I hope you take this as a mere suggestion and not a negative intake of what you are saying. I am speaking solely on how I would handle the situation. Just think about it because you could be hurting your family more by not saying anything to her or your husband about what she is doing.

Apearently she is like the alcholic that begs for money for food on the street then buys alchol. So if you realy want to help ether one the thing to do is to buy the food and gas for her instead of giving her the money if you feel that you have to give her any thing.

It seems that mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have serious problems.But what do you think of your mother? And if your mother-in-law is really impenetrable.The more you can stand the more tolerant you are.

consult with your partner. next action, you may give the last $20, and the next time. Stop this immediately, giving another $20 will not end the chain reaction. Sometimes we need to stay hard, if not other will see you as weak victims. It's nature, not because we are mean, but others make us so.

So far nobody will beg money from me because they know I don't have money. Only enough for my own stomach. So I'm safe on this matter.

Well, my in law with my former husband is also a disaster, I believe that she is one of the cause with the separation of my husband. She love to interfere with us and do it in my back. Now, she keeps on blaming me for what happened to me and my husband. I really hate her. She is back fighter who love to make stories behind my back.

Hello TripleS519, Oh, how come she acted like that? She knows that you and your family don't have enough for yourselves and why she needs to act like that? I always listen to my friends' stories on how they handle their mother-in-law. I am lucky though... I am married to a foreigner and I don't have to deal with my mother-in-law. I will call her once a while to say hi and when my husband went back there, we bought some souvenirs and gifts for the whole family. When I was still single, I always prayed that I won't have to deal with a 'difficult' mother-in-law. At least, my wish came true *smiles* I know what you are going to say...I am bad. Yes, I am *laughs*

well this is a rare case in this case you should be a ristricted person when she came to you you should be crying louder then her to feel her that you dont hve a single panny left with you :)

there is really just one in law i cant stand and thats because he thinks hes better then everyone else and if you dont see things his way then your wrong and hes right. and hes a hipocrit. other then him I pretty much like my inlaws

You have to really stretch your patience with that kind of in-law. For me, I have no problem with my mother-in-law, she is very understandable woman though our principles do not meet, she knows how to respect it. My husband is the one who have a problem with his mother-in-law....that is my mother. My mother has personality problem that even me has a problem dealing with her, how much more for my husband.
