Family Law

lwhite asked:


Do you guys think when someone has problems with her mother -in-law, will it mean that that person will also have problems when she becomes a MIL?

What are your thoughts from experience?

Sara asked:


Just saw on her facebook today her talking about me and my husband and how immature we are. If you ask me the one being immature is the one posting things about us!

Mallorie asked:


I havent had my baby yet, but they are very heavy smokers. The family-in-law (Mother-in-law and Sister-in-law) even smoked while pregnant, so you can imagine they probably don’t think much of smoking around babies. They smoke around a 11 month old and a year old baby constantly. They hold them on thier laps and puff away. I do not want this. I hate smoking it smells and its very bad for my baby. Help please.

Every year my mother-in-law makes us a calendar with ALL of our families birthdays,anniversaries,etc. I really love this calendar and think it’s a thoughtful gift. The problem is that she puts relatives on the calendar that I either don’t know or don’t keep in contact with which leaves me with a calendar that has little room to write on and distracts me from recognizing the special days that I do need to recognize. Would it be rude of me to ask that she refrain from putting some of these dates on my calendar?

My wife had a emergency (pregnancy) 2 months ago, so we applied for Medicaid for the emergency. They denied it because they said there was an excess of income for the time that she recieved service. My mother in law is unemployed and i have been supporting her, but the social worker said she didn’t count.
We don’t have the money to pay the bill. Plus our new baby is coming soon. What can we do?

Cathrina M asked:


They say she is dying, her kidney have shut down and she has a DNR order, I want to know how long before she passes away and will she be in much pain. Is there anything the doctor can do to make her more comfortable.Will she go in a coma, we just do not know what to expect.

Katie asked:


so do you breastfeed your baby in front of your mother in law..?
Would your mother in law got offended if you walk away/breastfeed in front of her? what about father in law?

My 4 y/o daughter has recently had problems when I drop her off at day care. (home base center). she’s been going there for a while & suddenly she cries “please don’t leave me, the cops are going to take you away, don’t leave me all alone”
I guess I should mention that her BFF (neighbors kid) recently came to the house & told us that her dad was in jail… then 2 weeks later tells us her mom is in jail (That’s a whole new topic, cause I’m on the verge of calling protective services on them, anyways,) So this is why my daughter is freaking out.
Okay… so I call my X mother in law. My family isn’t too involved. Her father throws tantrums & isn’t speaking to me. I asked grandma what she thinks I should do. She tells me “put her on medication, she has the same anxiety when she comes with me and her dad, she’s hit, punched me a few times” OMG!!!!! I neeeever knew this! I was SHOCKED! This is NOT allowed in my home, she never disrespects me nor has she ever at daycare.
My daughter hasn’t gone with her dad in about a year. He & grandma come to visit her once or twice a month –they live out of town.
I was at my limit when I called and reached out for help from my X-MIL…
She was absolutly sweet & told me she’d do anything to help!
I asked if she could watch her for a few days .. but since she hadn’t been to her house in a yr maybe start out w/just one weekend.
WE seem to think the problem is…. my daughter is ALWYS with me… she never goes anywhere else but day care and with mom.. I never get a day off unless I’m at work.. otherwise she’s always with me.. and maybe that’s not so good.. she needs to know that I’ll still be there even if we seperate for a tad bit.. I’ll always come back.. anyways.. grandma tells me to call her.. I do and she does’nt pick up.. I called twice. Should I give up on calling? I have no one else to turn to.. it’s so frustrating sometimes.. she was my only -person- I could reach out for help..
Well there is nothing to report so I’m not concerned about that -at all.
She only started this crying because of what her friend said. Plus another kid at day care (home based day care) his father is also locked up. Believe it or not this is a good area that we live in, but bad things happen anywhere. Anyways, I tell her that I’m sorry for what happened in those other houses but that’s not the case at home.. she’s slowly believing it.

I guess my main question is what I should do about my X MIL.

I know how to handle my daughter… but I don’t know how to handle the X inlaws!

Oh yeah.. her father is throwing a tantrum over a dispute me and him had not to long ago.. I think it was HIM who told his mom to not talk to me.. even if it has to do with our daugther.. what a baby!

ugh what to do!
When grandma suggested to put her on ANXIETY MEDICATION I totally bypassed it.
I mean come on.
WHY on earth would I medicate my 4 y/o if she neeeeeever has issues other than when it’s dads weekend & grandma and dad come visit w/her (w/out me present)
Um… that’s not my daughters problem,.. it’s just that she’s not bonding w/them the way she should be… who’s fault is that.
THANKS EVERYONE for such great advice and making me see things a bit clearer!
Thanks parents!!!!!
