My Kids on MIL’s Facebook….Again.
I’m getting so fed up with my MIL. She took a screenshot of my 4 y/o daughter while they were on a FaceTime call and posted it on her Facebook without asking myself or my husband….again. We literally just had this conversation with that woman about how dangerous it can be and that we don’t want our kids on social media AT ALL. NOT EVER.
I’m so ready to go no-contact with her, hubby still thinks that’s a bit extreme at this point, but I’m 30 wks pregnant with our third baby and I don’t need this shit anymore. I will move to the other side of this planet to get away from her if I have to.
I know it sounds so harsh of me, but it’s been years of her not listening, crossing boundaries, manipulating, guilt-tripping, and general disrespect. That’s not to mention the rest of the in-laws that have name-called, blackmailed, gaslit, manipulated, threatened us, and more.
The only in-laws I care for are SIL’s two daughters that are really great kids but struggle a lot with the issues they have at home (SIL herself is a piece of work), and my husband’s aunt who is the sweetest person I know. To put it bluntly, they are the only ones I’d miss.
Thanks for the rant. I’m emotional, hormonal, exhausted, and everything else that comes with being pregnant and raising two toddlers. Really needed to get this off my chest.
i understand your pain! i specifically didn’t want anyone else besides myself and my fiance to post our babies. but my MIL had posted a picture of her and my son one day on facebook. she didn’t ask or anything, i just scroll and see my sons face. but when my fiance brought it up she said she didn’t know why it was a problem because i had posted him before. i don’t care, if i say no, that means no point blank. and then someone that doesn’t even see our kids or anything at all had posted a picture of him and my son as his facebook cover photo. like who tf are you?! (he’s my MIL uncle but we have no relationship with him) it’s so annoying when people don’t listen to our boundaries
