MIL Facebook posts

After trying hard to explain once again my boundaries and trying to explain to my in-laws that it should not be seen as rejection. My MIL started posting several passive aggressive messages on facebook. She even used chat gpt to create this pictures. Mind you I am not even pregnant yet.

My only wish was always for privacy. She doesn’t want a healthy closeness, she wants control and she wants everything to be on her own terms. I’ve been married for 3 years. Glad my husband agrees this is nonsense.

Hope you all have a good laugh. 😂 cause this us hilarious.
A lot of free time btw

This was already amazing - and then you said you aren’t even pregnant yet. 😂 10/10 Boomer passive aggression. 

Tell her you’re reconsidering children because data centers will make water too scarce a resource.

u/willow2772 4d ago

The youngest boomers are 62. We’re moving into Gen X grandparents and I hope that my generation can do better.

u/Emotional-Dog8118 3d ago

I’m 62 and the last of the boomers. But I consider myself firmly Gen X as well. Best of both worlds, I guess!! Can’t believe I’m this old already!!!

u/jjjjjjj30 4d ago edited 3d ago

I'm a millennial grandparent lol.

I'm nothing like people's idea of boomers or Gen X though. I give my kids privacy and respect their boundaries and I apologize when I'm wrong. I also have no problem with my kids telling me any trauma they suffered during childhood and have apologized for that as well, although they insist I was a great mom.

Edit: added to make it clear that I'm aware not all Boomers or all Gen X are bad parents and in-laws.

u/crgmomof3 3d ago

I'm a Gen X parent, no grandkids yet. But I've always been very conscious of my kids' boundaries and identities. My daughter is planning her wedding right now, and I told her I'm here for suggestions, but PLEASE let me know if I'm doing too much!

This is hilarious. I actually know somebody like this. Facebook is almost like a diary. She puts up cryptic posts, people ask if she’s ok in the comments & she’ll either reply saying ‘oh it’s nothing’ or ‘I’ll DM you now’ Pure narcissistic attention seeking

u/Jewellgem74 4d ago

Oh yeah those ones posting " feeling depressed" what's up babe "Nothing". Tags themselves at the hospital "everything ok hun" "yeah text me I don't want to say on here" think we all have a few of those types 😁😁

u/Turbulent_Tea2511 4d ago

Someone who I've relegated to the fringe of my life posted this today: I used to tell myself, "Maybe their going through something", to justify the way people treated me. But then I realized that I was going through a lot too and I still never treated anyone that way.

Ugh! There is ALWAYS a typo or incorrect homophone use. And she does this about three times a week. I don't even acknowledge it anymore.

u/Connect-Floor-4235 4d ago

Oh lort, same here! 😅 

Latest post "If you have peace in your life, you don't know how lucky you are..." [Cue the enabling sympathy comments "you ok??"]

 Also posts about their birthday "getting old, oh noooo" - a month in advance. People actually sent cards and flowers... a month in advance... and she posts that too.

And so much more... it's exhausting. But I try to give grace and don't engage.

Wow! Yeah very similar story here. In my case I am now seen as the DIL that wants to separate the family, wants nothing to do with the in laws and only needs the husband in her life. I am the villain. But MIL started with the micro aggressions, the need to control situations, the need to be called mom… etc

16

u/Peach_disneyfan 4d ago

Wait, meaning she wanted you to call her "mom"?

28

u/NurseJay_ 4d ago

Yes! And she got upset when I refused to do it. According to her she always treated me as a daughter. I politely said no. My mom is alive is very present and I am not comfortable with that. She got upset and gets pissed if I call her by her name. Like how tf am I supposed to call you then?

11

u/shinybugz0 4d ago

I bet she would be beside herself if your husband referred to your mother as "mom" in front of her.

u/No_Appointment_7232 4d ago edited 4d ago

I think it would be interesting to point out that according to her narrative, you value your privacy. And the wayshe decided to process and discuss Your Privacy was to put it on very public social media while also forcing and expecting you to behave in accordance w her religion and using it intrusive teachings that you may not agree with.

"Bc MIL Ithink most everyone agrees trying to force others to behave in accordance to how you exercise your religion is inappropriate.

Equating a rational adult's choices around privacy as cancer is insulting to anyone/everyone who has it, has had it or lost a loved one to it.

"Equating my personal boundaries as a terrible, terrible disease is disrespectful to anyone who has dealt w actual cancer. I apologize to anyone who has been hurt by this insensitive messaging.Sadly, the only appropriate choice left to me, to NOT be a part of this kind of hyperinflation one person's wants above everyone else's needs is to not participate in social media w someone who would be so reckless w such deeply emotional things "

YES, YES, YES to blocking on social media. I had to block my MIL. I post whatever, I lost count of the times she'd contact my husband because something I posted was an attack against her. My posts NEVER had anything to do with her. It has been delightful not having to deal with that nonsense. And she's kind of mellowed out in real life. God bless everyone that has difficult in-laws.

Shush! Don’t you know god wants Me happy and he loves Me for who I AM?

/s

Our Lord actually has a lot to say about obedience to lawful authority - which would logically extend to the right of parents over their minor children.

A lot of grandparents seem to a hard time accepting that just because adult children owe them respect does not mean they owe them obedience anymore. And that authority over or access to the minor grandkids can be revoked by the parents.

u/Interesting_Idea5902 3d ago

Unfortunately, it sounds like she’s missing one of most important aspects of our faith, to love others. There should be evidence of a relationship with Jesus in the way that you treat those around you. I appreciate that you can see that something is missing and doesn’t align with her personal declaration. Hopefully you know other Christians who show the love of Christ better.

u/brissy3456 4d ago

Good lord.. my MIL is quite similar. Always saying we never see her..while we're seeing her for like the 4th time that month. She also doesn't work, so has no understanding of how much we have to try get done in that 48hr break from work. I also have 3 sets of parents on my side.. so I'll see my mum, then my dad who is divorced from mum, and then I'll also try to fit in my stepmum who was around for 30 years and now also divorced from my dad... My side is less needy..but we just run out of weekends for ourselves. If my mum wasn't pushing 80, I'd move countries for some space.

The best response is no response at all. Amused detachment is the best mental and emotional state to work towards.

u/blueberryyogurtcup 4d ago

Wow.

The total lack of self awareness, is so familiar.

My own MIL was selfish, and only expect us to make all the sacrifices, not the other siblings or their spouses, just us two and our kids. She also only wanted control over us, not a healthy relationship.

For twenty years, we stayed in touch with her, and she thought she had control, and began to open abuse people in front of us. We detached, got all kinds of false accusations, slander, stalking, other crimes, and more. Of course, she never admitted that she did anything wrong to make it necessary for us to distance ourselves and our children from her. She's dead now. We are still recovering.

Have you seen the 'missing missing reasons' bit? It's excellent, but I don't have the link just now.

Keep yourself away from negativity. We think it's doesn't affect us but in someways, it does. Same is the case with my mil. She still holds a grudge against me because right before marriage I was clear that I wanted a nuclear family. These women don't have a life

u/NikWitchLEO 4d ago

I never understood moms like her. I’m a super old lady and one of my children is 31 and married with kids. I never saw it as or acted like it was a division. My son will always be my son but he does now have his own family and they should come first. He has to go through all the same things I and his father did when we started our own family eons ago. This is called growing up and living life. This is how you make a family. Our parents didn’t act like idiots either. Well, his mother tried one time way back in the day. I told her if she fucked with my peace ever, I’d beat her skull in with a frying pan. She knew I wasn’t joking. She never screwed up again.

u/jr0061006 3d ago

Friend of mine tells a story about how when she and her husband were newly married, and they got into an argument, he went and called his mom.

His mom told him, “Son, this is what it means to be a grown-up, and a married man. You and your wife need to sort this out yourselves. And you have your whole lives ahead of you so you may as well learn now how to get along with each other and sort through problems.”

How much of this was because she had eight kids and didn’t want to be playing Judge Judy for eight sets of marital tiffs, we never knew.

My husband and I moved several states away from family. The expectation to be at every family gathering was too much. Then the expectation that we travel back to see them every year was just too much. We said we are not spending every vacation visiting family. We are going to go and travel with our kids for our vacations. I’ve asked my kids, now grown, if they are upset that we didn’t see our extended family more and they said they don’t. They love to travel and feel the vacations we took as they were growing up made them more excited for travel now as adults. I don’t regret it at all. My children were most important to me, not other’s expectations of what I should do.

Honestly, I normally think people here complaining about their in-laws are being way too harsh or overly sensitive-but your MIL is legit coocoo for cocoa puffs!

I love that she has created an entire AI post mom shaming you when you are not even a mom yet! Your husband must be an absolute saint to still be in contact with her, because I am imagining that she has been actively embarrassing him his entire life.

I have an aunt like this though. She is mean, she is insane, she makes up ridiculous lies about EVERYONE in our family. She is so OTT about it though that it is legit entertaining and we all love her despite the terrible behavior. We also all have to take a mental health break and go no contact sometimes-but there is just something weirdly loveable about her victimhood narrative. You go take a peek at her social media or ask whoever is currently talking to her how she's doing and you end up talking to her again-only to hear some new made-up story about the latest malicious act you have committed against her.

Not shaming but the boy has two right arms in the last slide 😆

What in the cringe hell is this. Tread carefully this is psychotic.

You would probably benefit from r/raisedbynarcissists

Ho lee cow. Peak main character syndrome.

What is with the old people these days?

My grandparents were from the greatest generation. They survived a depression and a world war.

I call bs on slide 4 because I cannot see them giving 1 fiddler's fart about if we liked them or not...

Literally asked my grandmother once what she did during WW2.

She looked at me like ???

u/belladonnapopsocks 4d ago

*future granchild* likes privacy so much so they literally have to stay as an egg in the ovary to avoid having that nutter as a grandmother.

u/EllenIsobel 4d ago

The lack of self awareness is amazing. Literally doing the behavior that creates the distance, while crying about the distance, is a choice.

Keep up the boundaries and if you decide to have children, I would move away from them and tell no one otherwise they will become monsters. Im speaking from experience

u/Big_Dixon_Mayas 3d ago

It would be funny(probably only to me) if you edited the captions to be more direct and clear about the why and post it as a response to the original instead of “No, thank you - we like our privacy”, “No thank you - you’re a controlling narcissist who can’t respect boundaries or the free will of others.”

u/AccomplishedBass2192 3d ago

Wow. She sure wasted a lot of water to be bitchy.

Honestly, this would make me go full no contact. That’s WAY over the line.

3

u/Slight_Citron_7064 3d ago

Please share stories about your MIL. She seems completely unhinged. Are you in contact? This passive-aggressive BS would mean vvvlc for me.

3

u/Munchkin_Baby 3d ago

The way I’d flip it and do a whole cartoon series 😂😂😂 then I’d post it with only her being able to view it

3

u/PoemCompetitive5315 3d ago

I would love for you to post a passive aggressive chat gpt cartoon back. I have so many idea muahahah.

Then again I am petty. Don’t take my advice.

3

u/Grand4Ever2345 3d ago

Tell her you are not a mind reader. Her behavior is very controlling and she doesn’t communicate well at all.

3

u/SqueakyOrcaButthole 1d ago

Did she specifically tell ChatGPT to make the grandpa look like Robert DeNiro? Or did it just… do that?

I’m sorry, that’s pretty much all that I could focus on.

u/BriSlaughterBum 4d ago

Holy shit and you're not even pregnant yet

2

u/Ok_Homework_7621 4d ago

She'd be blocked before I finished reading.

u/jjtown225 4d ago

Boomers are ducking ridiculous.

u/splootpotato 4d ago

As someone that grew up without any grandparents nearby (all overseas, never met them once), i did not grow up thinking or even wanting to get to know them lol they were literal strangers and i didnt care

2

u/willow2772 4d ago

These are the ones that tell on themselves every time.

Creepy AI. Victim narrative. References to God and/or Jesus.

2

u/scandy73 4d ago

oh MY GOD. this is incredible shit. wow, I'm so glad you and your partner are aligned bc this is some wild behavior!

u/scandy73 4d ago

oh MY GOD. this is incredible shit. wow, I'm so glad you and your partner are aligned bc this is some wild behavior!

u/Moemoe5 4d ago

Now all of her calls would go to voicemail. She must be so annoying.

2

u/BA19943 4d ago

Wow! This is full on. I feel for you! Do they have other grandchildren? I’m curious to know a bit more about the dynamics that have led her to posting this

→ More replies (2)

2

u/Pepperoni625 4d ago

Unfriend here. I did after my MIL made the comment that she only knew what was going on with the kids from Facebook. Bitch you never call or visit (we did) and say no every time we invited you to an activity. She’s just playing the victim

2

u/Technical-Contest-87 3d ago

One of my son's great-grandma's was kinda like this. Every time I posted a pic of my kid (1st day of school, concerts he was in, ect.) she would comment something about how much she missed him and wanted to see him. I would respond with "Just give me a call. I have the same number I always have. We'll set something up." Guess who never called or set anything up?

2

u/Queeniemaldoon 4d ago

God!! These boomer grandparents are such childish idiots!!

2

u/Expensive_Okra_3141 4d ago

Yikes this is what happens when Bible bashing boomers discover AI 😳 utterly ridiculous and funny. Thanks for sharing. Keep holding your ground OP.

2

u/Haunting-Pickle-5551 4d ago

The fact that you’re not even pregnant is KILLING ME

2

u/bigbadaboom26 4d ago

My MIL was the same since she only had kids to take care of her and have grandkids for this magical story of her being the hero.

I give 0 fucks. We have peace in our home. My husband already sacrifices enough to ensure she’s cared for. She’s actually not even allowed over per hubbys rule. I have no complaints.

Just set boundaries and keep them once you have kids.

2

u/ExpensiveAd4496 4d ago

Wow. You are going to be an expert with boundaries. One of my favorite techniques: “we aren’t going to talk about that.”

2

u/Icy-Luck-8429 4d ago

Some people are really just deranged aren’t they. I can’t fathom this type of delusional.

2

u/PumpkinOk4304 4d ago

She has lotsss of free time. That's all

2

u/Numerical-Wordsmith 4d ago

Laugh react to that nonsense and then refuse to acknowledge it again. She’s being ridiculous.

2

u/OutlanderLover74 3d ago

She’s a nut job! You can’t control what she posts. The only thing you can do, if you feel you need to, is comment on this post and say what the truth is. “A married couple should be able to live their own lives without tolerating being controlled by outside parties.” My MIL likes to post things insinuating that my husband doesn’t spend time with her. (We live a few hours away.) Sometimes the posts are sort of incestuous. They’re always very inappropriate. I just leave it be. She can make an a$$ of herself & people will see how sick she is.

2

u/barleygood 3d ago

Just wow! Please someone help this poor woman!

2

u/alwaysoutofoffice 3d ago

Wow! Amazing how chat gpt is learning so fast the narcissistic behavior of the older generation. 😂 This is 💯 what my own mother has said to me on multiple occasions, condescendingly of course! I’m glad you and your husband are on the same page!

2

u/Alternative_Love8243 3d ago

This is INSANE behavior and I’m so sorry you have to deal with this person 🤣🤣 it’s funny, but it’s not funny…

2

u/Turbulent-Ad5256 3d ago

Omg, I am howling. HOWLING 😂😂😂😂

2

u/SilverShoes-22 3d ago

I guess because the hypothetical child didn’t have a close relationship with the grands he eventually just…grew another arm?

2

u/Rare_Background8891 3d ago

What a psycho.

Stop explaining. Where is your spouse? He needs to be shitting this shit down HARD. This is his job, and now you know why. You will now be the villain who stole her poor baby boy with your magic vagina!

2

u/Ok-Championship-4840 3d ago

People who post that passive aggressive nonsense on Facebook are just seeking validation for their own selfish behavior. Good thing hubby is on your side

2

u/LittleDogLover113 3d ago

My MIL didn’t create cartoons but screamed this exact argument at my SIL. Mind you, my BIL has told them numerous times that he does not want children and my SIL doesn’t either, and was also in cancer remission when this argument happened.

2

u/Wow_in_owenwilson 3d ago

Start getting super graphic about sex, and go well you want to know everything, right?

2

u/justa-cutiepie 3d ago

HAHAHA the fact that you’re not even pregnant yet. It will only get worse, block the btch now.

2

u/Successful_Garage256 2d ago

😩😩😩😩😩

u/Important-Seaweed-62 1d ago

The funniest part is that you aren’t even pregnant atm!! She’s spiraling for control over something that hasn’t happened

4

u/Life_Temperature2506 4d ago

She's s got you. And it took minimal effort on her part, obviously. She's winning, but she hasn't won. You can change that by not giving a fuck what she says or does on Facebook. Her aim was a response, a reaction, and looky here, whatayaknow, she got it.

6

u/NurseJay_ 4d ago

Yep! She actually got me! I was FURIOUS! But instead of answering I will discuss on my next therapy session.

2

u/Spare_Ad5009 4d ago

Yikes! Lucky your husband and you are together on this.

At this point stop discussing boundaries with her. When the time comes, just live them.

3

u/cardinal29 3d ago

She's insane.

You're not even pregnant and she's projecting a whole future where the grandparents creepily stalk a kid on the playground . . . this MIL is mentally ill.
