I (23F) am married to my husband (24M), and we had our first son last year. This situation involves my mother-in-law (50F), who has had a complicated and often harmful relationship with my husband his entire life.

She was not very present while he was growing up. She was married multiple times, traveled frequently for work as a travel nurse, and chose to move two hours away from him when he was in 7th grade. Because of this, my husband was primarily raised by his great grandparents until he moved out with me at 20. Both of those great grandparents passed away within the last year.

My MIL has always made situations about herself. These examples are just some of many incidents that have happened throughout my husband’s entire life. At our wedding (which was planned on short notice), she made a big deal about “making it work” to attend because her travel contract started the same day instead of simply requesting an extension. She cussed me out the day before my baby shower over wrinkled tablecloths at the rental company, even though she volunteered to plan the shower. Two years ago, she also punched my husband in the face during a vacation.

Despite this history, when we had our baby, we tried to include her. She asked if she could pick our son up from his full-time childcare (my mom) a few days a week and bring him to our house before we got home from work to help us out. We agreed.

Over the next three months, there were consistent issues. She would let him take very long naps that disrupted his schedule, leave our garage door open for hours, leave messes throughout the house (food left on the high chair, toys everywhere), and make repeated comments criticizing our parenting—saying we didn’t wipe him well enough, that his diaper rash was our fault, or that we weren’t feeding him the “right” things.

She also became very upset that we are not raising our son religious. Despite us being clear about this, she played Christian music for him while she had him and told us we were bad parents for not raising him with religion.

On Thanksgiving, in front of family, she continued making comments about our parenting and bragging about how she lets him sleep however long she wants when she has him. I finally responded back, including pointing out that she does not respect our rules or our home. She began yelling at me and threatened to never pick our child up again—something we never asked her to do in the first place.

At that point, I told her she would no longer be around our son due to the ongoing negativity, disrespect, and refusal to follow our boundaries.

Since then, her parents have sided with her and painted me as the villain. Their response has essentially been, “That’s just how she is, and there’s nothing we can do about it.” Her mother even blamed my husband’s great grandmother (who raised him and passed away a few months ago) for my MIL’s behavior.

I finally told them they are part of the problem for enabling her behavior, especially when they have also kept my husband’s biological father’s side of the family away for years due to “behavior issues,” yet excuse everything my MIL does.

So, AITA for keeping my son away from all of them and going no contact until there is a genuine apology and a clear plan moving forward that shows they will respect our boundaries?

He got done so dirty man

Is it just the cats version of cuteness aggression/playfulness? She’s a 3 year old rescue that I’ve had for about 2 months. Her life pre ~August is completely unknown to me.

…or he’s trying to be.

Stephen Miller wants to be the next Hitler and he’s clearly trying to play the same playbook.

The obsession with immigrants, the constant racial fear-mongering, the chaos disguised as “policy”…none of this is accidental. This is deliberate. He has a clear ideological mission…divide the country, normalize cruelty, and push extremist ideas into the mainstream.

We need to pay very close attention to every move he makes, because this kind of rhetoric doesn’t just rot politics…it poisons society. History has shown us where this path leads, and ignoring it is how things spiral. Silence and complacency are exactly what people like him rely on.

FUCK THIS UGLY MOTHER FUCKING RACIST SON OF A BITCH STEPHEN MILLER!!!

And she’s rising as the night goes on.
