How do you get your mother in-law to back off and stop judging your every more concerning her son in times...?

of crisis?I'm not talking about me here.My sister has been married to an amazing guy for 7 years now and they have a 5 year old son together.They've had to deal with a lot of tragedy and whenever something happens his mother shows up trying to take over and confort him.Recently he was diagnosed with testicular cancer and his mother just bitches and bitches about how uncaring,selfish and self-involved my sister is when she's done all she could to help including attenting every appointment and taking time off work.What is the mother's problem?What can my sister do to make this better is her eyes?How do you get your mother in-law to back off and stop judging your every more concerning her son in times...?
There is nothing that she can do, MIL is just probably jealous because her husband has another woman in his life and she cant bear it that she takes care of him when shes not there, shes got a case of emotional incest, she does need to remember that saying things and causing stress doesnt help her son, or make the situation better in anyway, as long as your sister knows what she does for her husband, she doesnt need to worry about anyone else or what her MIL thinks, the best thing she can do is just blow he roff and be happy with her husband because the best revenge is living HAPPILY , I hope things get better with your BIL and your sister, again good luckHow do you get your mother in-law to back off and stop judging your every more concerning her son in times...?
Well, first your sister should have ONE honest heart-to-heart with her mom-in-law about it. If that work (and it probably won't) then there is nothing she can do to change another person. All she can change is her own behavior (ie - try to put some distance between them orjust try not to react to it or take it personally).
It would be better if your sister's husband would talk to her.



Until he stands up to her, it will be your sister against her mother=in=law in a power struggle.
Firstly, I think you should mind your own business and not interfere in your sister's life.

Spreading all her privacy online here is a total breech of trust and is violating her right to a private life.

She made her decisions when she married her husband, and she has the right to work out her issues without you spreading the word online to the world.

Get a life...and leave her life to her...
This issue is completely up to her husband to resolve. He needs to tell his mother bluntly that he loves his wife and wishes that she could accept his wife into the family, but if she can't, then she should at least be nice to his wife or she will wind up pushing him and his family away.
Your sister can't do anything. Her husband needs to stop being a momma's boy and stand up for his wife.
I hate to say this, but in-laws have a tendency to interfere with their kids lives because they feel it's their right. I don't agree with this. I could just imagine what your sister has to go through. I suggest your sister buys a muzzle for the mother-in-law.
Probably nothing. The mother sounds like she can't let go and accept that someone else is caring for her son. She needs to get off her high horse, because it is obvious that she thinks she is the only one who could do it the best. Your sister needs to stand up for herself with her and tell her to shut it. Tell you sister to ask her mother in law...What do I need to do to make you feel like I am being a suitable wife to your son? because nothing that I do seems to please you...so please, tell me?

If that doesn't shut her up then she is just gonna have to deal with her.
looks to me she has done all she can and as for that mother-in -law she needs to back off and let them tend to their own affairs and if i were your sister i would tell the in-law that i did marry you i married your son and as long as he is happy so be it
The mother just grieves and needs someone to take her grief out on - your sister is her easiest target.

Maybe your sister could write to one of those newspapers that have a psychiatrist answer questions (like Anne) %26amp; when it gets printed (hopefully it does), mail it to her mother in law w/out a return address.

Other than that, if she says something, the mother in law might get even more confrontational. Your sister's husband should stand up to her. If the mother in law starts up, he should tell her to leave if she can't treat his wife w/ respect.
Your BIL needs to be the one to tell his mother to back off...He can tell her if she is going to complain all the time, she is not welcome in his home...Heck they have enough to worry about and she is not helping a bit...Tell your sis to do nothing different, do not change because MIL is a wacko and has her own issues...Tell her to stay strong and put her foot down...
Oh, this irks me....I have had one for 27yrs.....and she is still the meddling beoch she was when I was 19yrs old...I took it for 19 yrs, then told her to F off in a letter, after she tried to pull one of her little stunts....I'd had it.....and there is no law that says just cause' you marry someone you HAVE to be married to their family....My inlaws, love gossip, chaos, and meddling....They don't mess with me anymore, I have been in the same room with her once in 8yrs, and plan to keep it that way....Let hubby go visit her, his mother, NOT mine.......I hate that sticking their nose where it doesn't belong crap!....Your sister needs to toughen up and tell her to back the hell off!!!!
