I feel like I'm becoming a broken record lol

So yeah, more MIL drama lol

Husband and I are putting each other on our accounts. I've been on his accounts since we've been engaged, but now we're adding him to mine. My mom works at my bank, so it's easy for us to pretty much do anything. So she goes to add him on my account, and her banks policy is to run a check on the person being added. It's similar to a credit check, but it's a bank check to see if the person has been in default with a bank before. Low and behold (I think that's the phrase), my MIL screws him over - again. She had added him to one of her bank accounts in 2009 so he could easily give her money (yeah, it's backwards). However, in this account she went in default and owed the bank $5000. And since my husband was on the account, it shows that he went into default as well. This not only goes against him with banks, but it goes against his credit as well. Since then, the debt has been paid, however this stays on your record for 5 years. If my mom had not worked at my bank, he would not be allowed to be added to my account, but thankfully she was able to override it. So I'm pretty much steaming mad, and to make matters worse, before I found out all of this, we (meaning my husband) invited them over for dinner this coming Sunday.

I need some serious thoughts and prayers to make it through that dinner without strangling her! Oh, and advice on how to keep my mouth shut throughout the dinner. I know there will be some snide remarks coming from her lol

  • eesh I know the feeling. Good luck with dinner and think happy thoughts!!
  • Oh no!  That truly sucks that he was affected because of her.  Like you said, at least your mom works at the bank and was able to add him.  Good luck with your dinner!  Try thinking happy thoughts to avoid strangling her... or thoughts of doing that and keeping it to yourself  ;-)

  • Yes, I know my husband is just trying to do what he thinks is best, and to try to make everyone get along. I've been praying to God for all the strength in the world to not cause a scene lol I just feel bad for my husband since he already has stress on him with his job, and me not working until the summer is over (I'm a teacher). He's so amazing and I couldn't be more grateful to have suh an awesome husband :)

  • PRAYERS HEADED YOUR WAY!

    All I can say from my own experience (as the child of a couple struggling w/ a similar MIL situation, and my own FMIL being kinda dramatic), you have to keep reminding him that you two are a family now. YOUR family comes first. This will be difficult for him because he'll feel as if he's abandoning his family and needs to care for his mother, but there comes a point where you need to cut the cord. My grandmother did this to my father for the first 10 years of my parents' marriage to the point where they almost got divorced (now married for 37 yrs!). Finally he realized that she would always need money, and always have an issue and he needed to begin caring for his family and his future. This is HARD. I'm having the same discussions (sometimes preemptively) with FH because I see us encountering similar problems.

    This sure isn't easy, be kind and patient with him and his family, but make him realize he can't endanger your family's future either.

    GL!
