See, in the end it works.

You got bad luck Adam-always in trouble with your inlaws or neighbors.

I have been married to my wonderful wife for 10 years and dated for 6, and her mom has been incarcerated over half the time, and if she gets to aggravating us, I can make a call to the sheriff's office and they'll come pick her up because she's always got a warrant on her. Lol

My mother in law is weird and I make a lot of mother in law jokes about her but she’s actually a good gal. I enjoy her company. I’ve been with my current wife for 22 years. I was married briefly in my early 20’s and that mother in law was a train wreck. I remember my ex-wife’s mom, grandma, and aunt all came over one morning and told me my house, furniture, and fridge looked like crap and they were going to redecorate so they needed me to leave. I in much different words encouraged them to have sex with themselves. They filed out of the house in short order and never came back. I was divorced within a year- my decision. Never looked back. Thanks God we had no kids. My wife found her on Facebook a few years ago and told me to take a look. I’m guessing 350 lbs. maybe more. My current wife is much better looking, has been a great mom, and has great parents. I feel like I dodged a bullet.

Hate to say this but until your wife sees the problem and steps up on your behalf you're screwed. Since it's her family she needs to be the one to tell her mother to knock this bleep off. If you two aren't united on this front mama will keep the advantage and drive a wedge there.

reading all the drama from the inlaws reminds me to update my tinder profile
looking for sexy white curvy girl with good teeth that loves to cook ,clean fish and skin squirrels whole family must have died in plane crash .... did i come on to strong with the teeth ?


poor Adam bad enough he has all the health issues now this ......

Thanks everyone I appreciate it.
The Wife, that's true, unfortunately she will back her parents up everytime, because she wants to keep her hands in their pocket. She knows I can't stand the kids spending the night at her mom's because it's a party house especially on weekends and the kids are usually upstairs alone while their grandma parties downstairs.

If yer gonna let others run the show your gonna have to live with whatever comes along..........whose kids are they again?

I wouldnt have anything to do with a woman who didnt have my back. been there, done that, it blows bigtime.

I kicked her out, and kept the kids.

Interesting thread. I was fortunate in that my wives mother kicked the bucket before we got married.

I agree with Boco,you sure have run a long string of troublesome.
Have you taken time with her to explain your reasoning?

Dont worry about the inlaws so much. Fix the problems with the kids. They don't need their tablets. Break em if they aren't going to respect their parents.

Too many parents let the insane run the asylum.

After seeing the title of the thread, I'm just glad you're not "ON A RAMPAGE"!

You have my sympathies.

I'm with you. Daughter got to watching TV every morning. She's intelligent but honestly I think she's bored. Testing came back a little low for her age when she's always done pretty well. She's doing reading or writing every morning with me from the time she wakes up until she goes to school now. I think this day and age people expect technology to be the parent. I don't have to worry about what my inlaws do with the kids because they know how they're expected to act towards older people. If your children are disrespecting you I don't know I'd lay the first line of blame on your mother in law.

Thanks everyone I appreciate it
Boco one of my old bosses used to tell me... if it wasn't for bad luck I wouldn't have any luck.

Yup tried reasoning with her recently on their disrespect and disobedience she don't care.
Dd, I really think it was the kids being here that made me not lose it I was about to explode.

The problem comes from my wife letting her parents spoil the kids and letting them do what they want. Then when they come home it's rules, respect and obedience. I never wanted them to have tv in their rooms so their grandpa buys them a tv and DVD players. This summer she decided to get satellite in their rooms. As tablets are concerned I'm ok with 15-30 minutes but then it's tantrums and she gives in. About a month ago the same grandma allowed my kids to get a puppy/rat without asking us. Guess who takes care of it? Me. Just waiting for a hawk to take it away.

Slowly she is becoming like her parents and it's not good, so when I enforce rules you can imagine the chaos which ensues and I'm the bad guy. Her parents are a big problem in our lives and she won't cut them off.

If you pray please pray for us.

It's time to grow a set.

God helps those who help themselves.

I've seen so many posts from you that are basically the same. Problems on the res, people lying about you, (but you know the old saying about smoke and fire....). You live in a toxic environment, family wise. If you don't do anything about it soon you better just accept being a doormat and sleep outside with the dog/rat. I feel bad about the health problems in your family, but a wife who does not respect or rationally discuss raising the kids, doesn't care about your opinions, not to mention the MIL and FIL, are things that only you can do something about. If you go off the deep end one day with your MIL there will only be more hysteria and drama. Sounds to me like your wife is the portal for the problems you tell us about.

My wife and are both independent people and have had our disagreements over 35 years, but we always have each other's support.

I wish you the best, but other folks wishing and praying for you isn't going to change anything in your house.

No need to respond to me. It's not my business, but I've seen too many of your posts like this one.

Why do they still have the TVs in the rooms? Why do they still have the satellite? Why in God’s name do you still have the rat dog? Whose house is it? If the grandparents bought the stuff, leave it on their doorstep. They can buy whatever they want but it doesn’t have to live in your house. It would be great if your wife supported you, but you can enforce your rules even if she doesn’t. If she wants her mother around, she’d better teach her to behave. It’s like teenagers: you don’t have to like the rules, but you can follow them or live somewhere else.
We all feel for you, but it’s time to listen to Paul and Pete (swift).

Yes adam, I am livid too. Livid because I don't get why you haven't stood up for yourself. Yes my sympathy on your health issues,I have them too. But it's time to suck it up and put your foot down or walk away and get your custody rights.

At least sooner or later your kids will realize who spoils and who Royals as the Parent.Don't prolong the pain and do it now!!! This can't be helping your health issues and heck, who knows if your fix it or walk away you may even feel better. Good Luck adam.

Best advice this whole thread !!!
