Mother in Law Got Kicked Of The Family For Not Respecting Boundaries

hello and welcome to another installment of oz Goblin where we do battle with demons disguised as your significant others parents I 1 year old female can't have kids it's polycystic ovary syndrome when I met my now husband who's 33 I was very upfront about it and told him that I never wanted kids nor could I physically give him one he understood and didn't want kids either so we're on the same page my husband is the only male child out of about seven siblings my mother-in-law was furious when she found out we weren't having kids we tried setting boundaries with her on this and other topics but she is stubborn after four years of her behavior we slowly cut off most contact except of family gatherings and such she was for the lack of a better term third-wheeling our marriage this past Father's Day the siblings and significant others got together to celebrate at our home husband and I hosted because we have the space to gather safely mother-in-law and father-in-law get here it was going fine until dinner she had been drinking a bit one of my sister-in-law's is getting pregnant and we were all talking about baby names mother-in-law was making a few small remarks about how husband and I would never hold a little bundle of joy like it was a joke then mother-in-law said something like give the baby your last name so at least someone might pass on our name to sister-in-law while looking directly at my husband he told her to stop and she did for a while then we were cleaning everything up I was in the kitchen with pregnant sister-in-law and mother-in-law came in and asked how we were I said yeah fine how are you and she had the audacity to say not that grey since husband married you sister-in-law told her to stop and that she needs to go back outside but I said no you need to leave go home I do not want you here I didn't say it in a root tone or yell just firmly I know she had been drinking and influenced what she said and I know I was upset and what I said was in the heat of but she had never once before attacked my husband's decision to marry me to my face she did eventually leave with father-in-law after making a big scene in front of everyone about how I was throwing her out husband was on my side after sister-in-law and I told him what mother-in-law said but father-in-law is angry at me for kicking mother-in-law out and how it made her feel unwanted by her family a few of husbands sisters took their parents side and think we mostly me are a-holes I don't feel like I was in the wrong for telling her to leave but after a week and a half of sitting with it and talking to his siblings husband is feeling iffy about the situation and thinks mother-in-law was wrong but maybe I should have just let it go because we don't see them very often am I the a-hole for saying what I did Opie you are not the a-hole and I applaud you you had the guts to stand up to someone who insulted you to your face you were perfectly justified in kicking her out no doubt about it I was watching TV earlier and someone on the show is going off on one about women choosing books versus looks etc and it reminded me of my ex mother-in-law and the views she held I remember one day when my husband and I were still married and we drove out to a family member's house because a cousin of his was engaged and they were throwing a party towards the end of the night a family member of my husband starts asking me about my education and what I was studying so we had a really good conversation about that and she wishes me the best of luck with my studies and future job etc a little while after that when some more people had left mother and Lauren's sister and Laura sitting near me and that's when mother-in-law asks me about my education why would you want to go to college she asks I explained to her what I was studying and hoping to do after graduation and any potential future jobs she is all very disinterested in this under her breath I hear her mock me saying ooh College College in a high-pitched exaggerated voice apparently to her me going to college is me pretending to be something I'm not and thinking I'm better than what I act for those that don't know mother-in-law had an issue with me being mixed-race and my humble start in life haha I should have stayed on my side of town she then tries to tell me that I don't need further education because I've got a husband and I can just rely on him and be a housewife and a lady of leisure etc that I don't need to work as I have a man now and he can work and earn money and I can take care of things in the house now my ex-husband is a very talented cook we both enjoy cooking and trying new recipes we used to share the housework in the chores because both of us lived in the house it was our house so why not both help out that was one thing mother-in-law used to like to talk about as well a man shouldn't be expected to come home and have to work again and do jobs around the house he's been working all day and he should expect to come home to a hot meal when I reminded mother-in-law that I worked as well and was also out of the house in a very condescending manner she said to me yes but he works harder than you do dear so mother-in-law's thing was that women should apparently choose looks over books mother-in-law chose looks and that's why she had the nice house and successful husband etc I never say this about other women as I believe all women are beautiful but mother-in-law was not as pretty as she thought herself to be she used to go on and on about her looks and how lucky our husband was to marry someone who is such a rare beauty like she was and apparently women who choose books are miserable and have nothing in life because men don't go for that mother-in-law had some pretty messed-up opinions one of my husband's cousins is a lesbian and mother-in-law used to go on and on about how accepting she was of this and how she didn't have a problem and she was so good towards those people but then she'd refer to it as an illness and a mental affliction etc it's a disease what she has she'll get better one day I am still really good friends with my ex-husband we still get along great and thankfully he's not like his family at all but I'm glad I got out of there when I did I couldn't stand my more of that woman july 2019 to february 2020 my husband and I lived with his mom in a 2x2 apartment to save money for a house we bought a house in February mother-in-law can't handle her money right covet hits she can't buy a house like she wanted so she moves into a house starting in April 2020 the agreement is that she would pay some rent and get a financial situation in order for a few months and then buy her own house my issue is this she's a quote-unquote free spirit and tends to do whatever she wants her dog has no training oh the dog is super sweet and not poorly behaved she smoked cigarettes and pot outside only and she eats like a prepubescent child given free rein in the Walmart candy aisle she bought a slew of food supplies for quarantine most of which were pasta my husband and I are trying to stay away from carbs and potatoes and cake mix she drinks nothing but soda she has various medical issues and lives of disability Social Security and alimony she and I are definitely not birds of a feather I've let her work in the yard because that keeps her busy and she likes it she has put in a couple of flower beds and helped by soil that I spread in bare spots for grass seed I don't care for the flowers and things mostly because my husband and I are first-time homeowners and I don't know yet what I want she took it upon herself to start painting some sort of sealer on our concrete patio without asking first so I asked her to stop while I was out of the house she texted my husband and said we need to have a family meeting tonight darling husband and I moved to his home state two years ago year one was spent in a nice one bedroom townhouse with the intention to buy a house within a year or two mother-in-law divorced his second husband after about two weeks decides to move from Georgia to home state and can't do it herself so she gets financial help from darling husband's brother moves into the same townhouse complex as darling husband and I because it's nice our lease ends we decide to move into the two-bedroom townhouse with mother-in-law so all of us can save money / improve credit towards buying a house this is what I learned about mother-in-law while living with her for six or so months one she has no structure sometimes she sleeps all day whatever darling husband and I both work days so it's cool - mother-in-law victimizes herself constantly and intensely I'll just stay in my room all the time and never show my face cuz all be in the way three she eats like a prepubescent 12 year old given free rein in the candy aisle four she has various health issues that I suspect are either less serious than she makes them out to be or outright non-existent five because of health issues she has no energy to do anything supposedly but she only drinks coke smokes cigarettes and weed all day sex her credit is awful 7 she doesn't really clean up after herself but she doesn't make a huge mess 8 our dog who is well-trained has a tendency to eat any food left out mother-in-law leaves food out dog get sick we talked to mother and Laura about her food gets left out again dog gets sick again rinse and repeat darling husband and I live with mother-in-law for six or so months with father-in-law and my parents help were able to buy a house we move out of the townhouse in early March yay freedom but wait the covert lockdown hits mother-in-law's lease is up in April and she refuses to live in an apartment despite six months of experience we decide to invite her to live with us in the new house with litterin this is so she can get her finances right to buy a house here's what happened since April one mother-in-law doesn't clean up the few dishes she uses to she leaves cigarette butts on the lawn three she does whatever she feels like in the yard creating such plantings like rearranging flowerbeds for she leaves food out all the time including her dog's food so our bottomless pit Hoover's it all up so much for losing winter weight five she lets her dog do whatever at once including run across the street to play with the dog in a neighbor's house things came to a head last week when I asked her not to put whatever sealant she had picked up on our concrete patio she texted her husband and asked for a family meeting here's what her issues were I'm rude I mean I negative I suck the energy out of her it's shameful that I asked my husband to do any cleaning when he gets home from work I don't go out of my way to make her feel welcome I don't ever compliment her looks asking her to pick up a cigarette butts is criticizing you don't Frankel was gonna do that asking her to close the gate in the yard so the dogs don't go out is criticizing um your mother I deserve respect just to be clear she's my husband's mum basically she has expected to have free reign in the house she expects to be treated like a mother which means she doesn't have to do anything apparently I am a mitad Lee not a super sunny person and I have an incredibly hard time with all this stuff giving or receiving it I say what I mean I don't bother with saving face too much that translates to not really caring about the same repetitive small talk every day and rarely if ever saying useless empty stuff that's all mother-in-law has to say there's nothing going on in her head so she's got to have stuff coming out of her mouth 100% of the time we are not the same kind of people and I would never get along with her type all that said mother and Laura's family we opened up a house to give her the chance to get herself on her feet and I believe it was the right choice to help her two days after the big argument food magically gets left out our dog eats it and gets pretty sick darling husband and I are absolutely react until mother-in-law for probably about the eighth time to not leave any food out for the love of God stop poisoning our dog today darling husband and I went to a funeral in the morning and I dropped him off at work and then came home food wrappers bags trash everywhere torn to bits our dog got into a ton of trash mother-in-law had in our room and probably ate some of mother-in-law's dog's food i cool mother-in-law she says it's just trash but how am I supposed to know I call the vet they say without knowing what our dog ate and without her showing any issues there's not really much they can do I was more furious and scared and frustrated than I had been in a long time I had meant to do some shopping this afternoon but I was too concerned about my dog I bought a food bin trash can and store it's been for mother-in-law's room mother-in-law is a layabout stoner her neglect has meant our dog has gotten sick several times she has attacked and insulted me personally with no offer of apology I am making nice to her on a daily basis attempting to have conversations etc but I will never forgive her for the things she has said to me she says I don't have a mean bone in my body but feels comfortable saying incredibly hurtful things to me I'm terrified that only collect will kill my dog by her account she is close to buying a house but I really don't want her in my home anymore my husband talked to her today more calmly and tactfully than I could have and apparently the point has been made to stop leaving stuff out a mother-in-law finally gets it husband is on the same page as I and is sick of mother-in-law's neglectful Ness I'm ready to have her out of the house but I don't want her in a negative situation it's such a mess guys thank you for watching another episode of just know mother-in-law and in the comments tell us what you think of these mothers in law who's in the wrong here you decide
