In law advice

Does anyone else have issues with their in laws? Specifically father in laws. I feel like it’s not as common to have issues with the father but boy is mine a piece of work! Every time something good happens in our lives my husband’s dad always makes it about him. He doesn’t have boundaries and sure as hell doesn’t respect boundaries either. A big blow up happened and that led to no contact for the time being but I can tell my husband is struggling a little bit. I want nothing to do with his dad or his step mom nor do I want either of them around my children. They have bad mouthed me to my husband and their entire family when I’ve done nothing but try to include them in our lives. They also always blame us (more so me) for not being present in our daughter’s life. I know that’s not realistic to never speak to them again so does anyone have any tips on navigating difficult in laws?

I went no contact with my mil. And I meant it. She did nothing but bad mouth me and try to stir up drama and I said enough was enough. My fil is two faced but he’s more tolerable.

@Lennox do you still allow them to see your children? If you do how do you navigate that? I don’t want my kids alone with them ever especially bc he touches women inappropriately and I’m about to have another daughter

I think it’s completely reasonable for him to not see the kids. It’s your job to protect your kids! Blood does not mean they are owed anything. Just because they’re related to you, they do not automatically have to see the kids. If you don’t like them and don’t want see them, that’s totally your call!

We are no contact with my in-laws. My MIL is an absolute monster so she will never be around me nor my children ever and there’s no changing that after the things she’s done. I always tell my husband that he can speak to them or see them whenever but never at the house or around us and he has yet to actually want anything to do with them and doesn’t want them around us either

We went no contact with my FIL for a while, slowly allowed him back to the bare minimum after a few months. He's an alcoholic and likes to randomly flip out on us for working so much, not raising our kids, ruining his property by helping with maintenance, trying to run him off his land because we fixed stuff for him and he feels threatened 🙄

I absolutely do not.
