- 15 Tips on Surviving as a Mom in the Suburbs - February 22, 2013
The moment you bring a baby boy into the world, you start to wonder when he’s going to leave you. That’s right. You know that one day he’ll leave you for another woman — even though he’ll propose to you all through toddlerhood and tell you that you are the only girl for him.
Liar.
You’re already quite certain that the woman he marries will probably resent you for being so awesomely cool. And you’re betting she’ll do whatever she can to break the strong bond you have with your sweet prince. Women say it’s good to marry mama’s boys, but they don’t really want to deal with the mama part.
Wenches!
My husband has told me time and time again to cut the cord… no f*****g way! I’m waiting until that thing rots and falls off. I mean, for how much longer is he going to say “I love you” when he walks out the door, or hug me in front of his friends, or ask me to lie with him at night? Frankly, I don’t know, but I won’t be the one to stop it.
If he’s 40 and wants me to lie with him and scratch his arm, I’ll be all “Move over, Megan,” or whatever his unappreciative, son-stealing wife’s name is.
Let’s be honest: he may be 5 now, but before we know it, he’ll be shaving, and driving, and then he’ll leave us to go to college somewhere cold. Then he’ll get married and move to be near her mother, because that’s what girls make boys do: move near their mothers! Then he’ll be a father, and then one fine holiday he’ll have “wifey” call us to cancel our plans. Then he’ll try to make up for it by sending one of those Harry & David gift baskets filled with pears, because he’ll remember that we love pears, but they’ll be bruised — like our hearts.
No, we can’t go down that road. We have to take a stand against son stealing right now.
We’ll make those Jezebels pay… no, sign! Yes, a contract for us to make them sign, besides the pre-nup. That’s right, like using WiFi in Starbucks, they’ll have to agree to our terms.
This is a MIL-nup, and it goes like this…
- I will compliment my mother-in-law’s (MIL’s) cooking, her decorating, and, most importantly, the incredible way she raised her son, my husband.
- I will marvel at my MIL’s beauty and miraculously never-aging skin every time I see her.
- I will acknowledge that my MIL’s son is on loan to me so that we can make grandbabies, which will probably look like her and have her wonderful traits, which I will mention in conversation frequently and with great fervor.
- I will remind my husband to call my MIL daily, saying, “Have you told your mother you love her today? You should, she rocks.” Plus, I will throw in phrases like this:.
- “That amazing woman raised you! You should call and thank her… again.”
- “You can truly never thank her enough.”
- “Let’s go over and thank her in person.”
- “We should bring her a gift when we go.”
- “She’s so deserving of gifts.”
- “Let’s take her on vacation with us.”
- “And get her another gift.”
- “Maybe a beautiful locket with pictures of you and our children.”
- No, I don’t need to be in the pictures; she didn’t raise me… unfortunately.”
- I will tell other women that their mothers-in-law are not as fabulous as mine, and I shall be willing to throw down in the event that said women disagree.
- I will take my MIL to her weekly hair salon appointment and shopping at Loehmann’s, when it is deemed necessary by age.
- I will spend all holidays with my husband’s family, because they are so awesome and gracious, and I realize how much mine sucks by comparison.
And lastly:
- I will move to be near my MIL, whether she has retired to Century Village in Florida, decides to live in a nudist colony in Arizona, or goes bat-s**t crazy and moves to Alaska for the fresh sushi. She is so wise and wonderful that I’m sure her choice of habitat will suit me and my husband perfectly!
Oh, and:
- My MIL can so live with me and my husband when she’s old and can’t remember who I am.
There. You can print this to be signed when the inevitable happens. I just saved you from losing your sweet, sweet boy.
You’re welcome.

:) I wrote something similar to this but on the serious side. It’s a real fear, isn’t it? Because we as women DO run the families and if there isn’t a connection to the man’s mother, then that family gets left out. I am so grateful that I love my MIL…
tracey recently posted..Pretty Muddy? Lord Help me…
Yeah, I have the aftermath of this though. My late husband was a HUGE Mama’s boy and it was no big deal until he was diagnosed with incurable cancer. He left out information from his parents trying to protect them from the ugliness of cancer. Now that he is gone, it’s all my fault. I was 39 & trying to navigate my two young girls and myself through the grief process and they blamed me. We did not “do enough” to find a cure. I wasn’t a good enough Christian for God to provide a miracle. Now a year later I am a slut for dating someone else. they believe that I have a revolving door of men in and out when reality is that I am in a committed relationship and it was nearly 8 weeks before my girls met him. He literally had to
say to me “I am falling in love with you, not going anywhere and it’s time for me to meet your girls.”
so I implore all moms of boys not to be this extreme because it will only end up hurting those around you.
That’s disgusting. How could you have saved him? Make yourself sicker with worry? Like you wouldn’t have done ANYTHING, no matter the cost. What is it about having boys that turns on the crazy gene? I’m so sorry for your loss and the situation resulting.
Wow. That’s horrible. I’m so sorry you’re being treated in such a way when you’ve already been through something so difficult.

“so when I pray, I pray I never grow to be that way” (2Pac). You keep your chin up, beautiful. Don’t let anyone’s poor judgement and hurt make you feel bad(ly)? about yourself. You know the facts/truth. You know who and what you are & who and what you are not, even if no one else does. Denial of truth does nothing to change it so don’t let it change your loving soul. Stay strong & good. Have a little faith.
Well, in my role as son-snatcher, I actually tried just #1 and #4 for the first 12 years of my marriage, and maybe that’s the reason it has been an epic fail. We’re going on our 14th year–and now I only do #4–and things with ol’ Cut Apron Strings are the worst they’ve ever been. Funnily enough, I have made myself my own sort of MIL contract to sign–one to remind me not to get so batshit crazy toward my son’s spouse when the time comes. Confession: I hope he’s gay so that I just end up with ANOTHER son, and my new son-in-law’s mom and I can breathe a big sigh of relief together and be best buddies. (That’s totally how that would go, right?)

“I hope he’s gay…” made me lol. I thought I was the only twisted person who secretly has had those same thoughts!
Lol…I’ve been saying the same thing since my son was a baby. “So that I can be the only woman in his life”. As long as he finds a way to have babies, it’s the perfect scenario to me :)

Nope-far from it! LOL.. My baby’s donor is gay and amazing and I only hope gay genes are, I don’t know, ‘inherited’? LOL
I so can’t share this, print it, like it, acknowledge it publicly in anyway…..WHY you ask? My Mother In Law! I am a son stealing wench who has ruined her son. I am in total control of my husband, who has no mind of his own and I am the only one who makes decisons regarding the raising of her grandchildren. By the way all those decisions are wrong anyway. Her son would never be so foolish. PS I am using an alias to post this….
Ditto! My MIL is awful. In years past I have done everything in my power to include her and be nice to her. She still treats me like shit, constantly guilt-trips my hubs/her son, and basically ignores our daughter. I had the best intentions but now I just sit back and let her be her own worst enemy.
My friends and I have had this very discussion about how our MIL feel like we’ve stolen their sons from them and treat us as such. We’ve even jokingly started calling ourselves the Saucy Whores of Babylon… Because they think that only a SWOB would have the cunning it takes to “steal” their son away…
LMAO…..I thought I would be the only one!! His mother is crazy!! She told me I ruined her son also. My reply “the best thing I did was get him out of that house” ! Our wedding present was to throw her out of the wedding, she made it threw the ceremony that about it!!! Couldn’t agree more with you!
Son stealing wenches unite! Mine sends birthday cards to my kids telling them to have Daddy bring them to their house for a visit. My husband looked at me and said “when did we get divorced?” Thankfully he sees shes a nut job.
This cracked me up…Especially the bruised pears/hearts!
Liz @ PeaceLoveGuac recently posted..Taking inventory
My mother in law doesn’t know she is…We never told her we were getting married…why? because she verbally abuses me, pokes me, and tells everybody and anybody I lock
her in the bedroom with a sandwich and a cup of tea….And no.. no.. she is not ill or poorly she is naturally nasty……Blesssssss her
While being the mother of three boys I want to agree with this, but I can NOT follow it myself. My MIL I’d with us for the weekend and had the nerve to go in my bedroom, in my closet, dig through my clothes and steal my robe because she didn’t bring warm enough clothes to the Midwest in January. While this alone wouldn’t be cause for freak out, this is the tip of the iceberg. The woman has literally taken my clothes home with her because she took them out of the dresser and wore them while she was at my house. Among other absurdities. :-(
As a mom of two boys myself, I found this piece so very sweet. And, then I saw the comments and I’m telling myself, ‘Cut the apron strings f***ing NOW’!!!!
Roshni recently posted..What I’ve been reading this week #21
None of this made sense to me when I was marrying my husband. WTF was up with his mother? Holy hell.
And then I had a son. Ooooooooohhhhhhh.
My boy might only be a year old, but now I totally get it. I’m printing this and saving it for the next 25 years for the day he brings home his own son-stealing wench. I will be prepared for her.
I have a son, my youngest child. He’s an adult, though still single. If I ever act entitled to be treated to *anything* in this post, then shoot me. Because I’ll deserve it.
I agree TheOtherLisa. I see the humor, I laughed. But I am SO thankful for the mother-in-law I have. And I will strive to be even better than her when my two boys marry. We can all laugh and joke but I hope that every mother realizes that her children will grow up and become independent. I’m just hoping that when that day comes, I’ll be invited to participate in their lives in some way.
Loved this :) My husband tells me every day I have to cut the cord from my sweet little dude. I tell him to kiss my ass and smile. He assures me that some woman is going to hate me one day. I believe it…but isn’t that my right??? I have to deal with his mother…

I relish the thought of someone else taking over with the training and socialization of my 3 sons! I envision myself the kindly mil type, listening with a patient ear and a doe eyed expression of “Goodness, I don’t know where he gets that from, he was not raised that way.” oh, and we have one rule: NO high haired bitches or types that will cause me to feel compelled to lay tarps before she sits on the furniture.
Oh my god. I hear you honey. I have three boys. I’m ready for the wife (or husband?) to come take over and they are only twelve, nine and nine (twins, duh.)
My soon to be ex-husband’s family was much like this above. But no matter how hard I tried, they wouldn’t like me. ME!! What? Anyway, I am going to give him back now. Maybe they can cook him a little longer and he will be done enough for me someday?

Oh. There’s a blog post in me just waiting to come out. Ladies, keep this in mind too. Someday the cute little girl your son marries may just be the one to wipe your ass and wipe your chin and cup your boobs into your bra. That’s what I’m doing for my mother-in-law these days.
Lori@TheLyonsDin recently posted..The first fall
“I’ll be all, ‘move over, Megan’” – hilarious. Also, that is probably me in thirty odd years, because thankfully my son is half Italian so will never marry before he’s thirty-five, at least. And that’s when he’s moving out of the house. Or maybe not, maybe they could move in with us…
BonnyBard recently posted..Monday Listicles – The Closet Edition
So true. Idgaf if my future dil loves me or not, she tries to make MY boy move away ill cut her, no joke.
I actually WANT my son to grow up, fall in love, and have a happy marriage. The whole end goal of having kids is to have them go out into the world and take care of themselves at some point, right? I could probably find this post humorous if my MIL didn’t treat me this way… I know how much it sucks. :/
Oh yes. I’m not letting my son go without an ugly, threapy-required scene. That bitch, who ever she may be, will not steal my little man.
Unless she’s a he, in which case, OMG two sons!!! I know he’ll love me. I will totally babysit their adopted baby and move to a gay-marriage-friendly state to be never my “boys.”
Oh, and my 3 girls can come visit us, too.

Ninja Mom recently posted..What She Said and Curious George
This is perfect!!!!
I got a good laugh over this post, I am lucky that I have a fantastic mother-in-law that I love dearly. I can see wanting to require these things from my son’s future spouse, though! I’ve got a ways to go, my boy is only 2 and I love every second of hand holding, snuggling time.
If you have a mother-in-law like mine, you know this is in no way funny. It’s great that you love your sons, but seriously, if you don’t cut the cord, they will be maladjusted, unhealthy, and unhappy. Be good to your future daughter-in-laws. The abusive mother-in-law needs to end with this generation.
Really?!? Half of you on here are complaining about your mil and in the same sentence cursing your future dil? Really?!? I mean come on ladies. Can we say hypocrite? What about your daughters huh? You want them to have the mil from hell? You want them to be referred to as a son thieving wench? Do you want her to move hours away to be close to her mil? Lead by examples. I can honestly say I love mil to death. She has 2 boys and was glad to have a girl in the family. I hope an pray when I have a son he grows up and marries a woman who loves him will give him the world and take care of him. I mean come on you bitch about your mil being in your business and criticizing you.. Just imagine if you act the way say your going too I can only imagine what you dil will have to say about you. In fact it might be kind of funny and someone out there will be there to say I told you sooo!
How fortunate for you that you have a good MIL. But not all of us can say that.
I have 3 boys, and this is will be hard for me. But with all I have in my, I cannot apply these rules/this contract to my MIL now… just. can’t. do.it.
Not Winning Mom of the Year recently posted..My Buttons
As a mom of 2 boys who are, as we speak, fussing and screaming “MOM!” every 2 seconds I would gladly give them to a girl who is willing to put up with all of their craziness. However, tonight when I’m putting them to bed and all the sweet hugs and kisses start, with the “I love you Mommy” and begging “Will you please sleep with me tonight?” I will change my mind and vow to lock them in their rooms until they are 50 just so I can keep them here with me. Hmm…maybe DILs and I can work out a timeshare?!
My son’s first wife, (though I did love her) was much like the jezabel you described. Now I have a daughter-in-law who loves me as much as my son does. She is more like my daughter instead of an in-law. So mamma’s out there, there is still hope to have that daughter-in-law that you deserve.
I have a hard time picturing my guys with families of their own. I just hope it happens later rather than sooner, mostly because they aren’t in any way ready for it.
And I hope their lucky ladies don’t hate me for all their bad habits! ;-)
My Half Assed Life recently posted..Crazy Making Advice For The Older Teens
DS is only 3 but I too worry about the day he leaves me. This sounds like such a great idea except for the fact Ive done eveything on this list to my MIL :/.
She is an alcoholic thats raised 2 alcoholic sons. Now my SIL & I are left with the aftermath of that. She never offers to help me out with DS3 and hasnt come to our house to visit in over 2yrs (we only live 35mins from her). So I dont feel bad about about buying a house with my mom, who at this very moment is snuggling with my chicken pox riddled son.
But I will NEVER be like this to my DIL. Never.
This is funny to me, but definitely not something I relate to. My MIL is way too attached to my husband, and it makes it really hard to be an independent family. I don’t really care if my sons want to live near me forever. I don’t know that I would even want that, because I will still be young enough to want my own life and to not be a full-time baby-sitter.
Nicole(Whole Strides) recently posted..Blah, blah. Filler, filler
A while ago, my MIL sent my husband the book ‘Love you Forever.’ At first, I was creeped out by the vivid pictures of the growing man crawling into his Mother’s arms, but of course I was in tears by the end. My husband is such a loving and thoughtful father because of his parents and now we get to pass that on to our daughters. Perhaps, even a son, some day.

My MIL is awful and I pray I am. Nothing like her. She hate me from day one. She told me on my wedding day that marrying her son was a mistake. Then she told me when we got pregnant that was a mistake. And then on the delivery of my 2nd child, she actually yelled at me on the phone when I was in the middle of labor because I wasn’t willing to have my labor stopped so she could be there. I have a son and a daughter and I hope they both have awesome MILs. And I will be totally sad if they move far away and I only get to see them every other year, but I certainly don’t want to be the over bearing you have to do a anything on my time schedule type of MIL either. And I totally get the 2sons idea.
In all honesty that’s how I really feel about my MIL. She is so kind and gentle. She’s generous to me and my children. My mother has been a verbally abusive drunk for most of my life and she terrifies me. It’s so nice to have someone who is kind and caring to me. We don’t live anywhere near to either of our parents, so that may make a difference. But I love my mother in law and I hope that I am like her when I grow up.
What a beautiful post! I bet your MIL adores you!!
I’m a mother of girls. So I might be raising a wench that will steal your son one day, one never knows. If one of them does I promise they can live near you, wherever you are living.
I’ll just move too…

At my wedding shower, everyone took turns giving me some marital advice. My future MIL’s? “Don’t complain about him to his mother.” Out loud. In front of people.
Maggie S. recently posted..Do You Mind If I Pass?
I have heard (and believe) very different advice. Complain about him to his mother (she will ALWAYS love her son and already knows his shortcomings). But NEVER complain to your own mother about him (she already hates him for taking you away from her). I think it works…after 6 years of marriage, MIL and I get along well. And my mother and husband get along well too.

deana recently posted..Well, maybe not
I have nothing but respect for my ex-MIL. Sure she used to get on my nerves sometimes but deep down I know she loves my daughter – even after the the divorce – and only has her best interests at heart, even if it’s not how I would do things. I will never forget the effort she made to help me out with our wedding. My own mother is wheelchair bound and wasn’t able to come with my dress fittings or be very involved in the wedding prep and my MIL was incredibly gracious about helping without ever making me feel like she was imposing her tastes or taking over. She is a very classy lady and I aspire to be as kind and generous of spirit as her.
With a MIL from crazy town. I thank God every day that I have 2 girls. I will never be ‘that’ MIL.
Well, I am blessed my mil loves me to death. But we treat each other with respect so it’s a two way street. Took me under her wing and has always treated me like one of her kids. That is what I plan for my dil, if my son ever gets married lol. He’s 31 and happily footloose after being a rocky relationship for a few years – and darn, he says no grandbabies from him :( . I love him dearly but he’s his own man and I did my job raising a smart, independent, wise man. Now I have to love him from a distance because he is busy, but should I need his wise advice or help, he is here asap, as I am for him. And with texting, he is never far away!
So, am I the only who sits and chats with my mil and talk about our respective husbands’ annoying traits? LOL she takes no offense and blames it all on his dad. Hehehe, I totally agree, we are saints…..
My hubs is an only child… a very-much-loved only child! He’s the biggest Momma’s boy (in fact he has told me that if it came right down to it, he would always chose his mom over me because she squeezed him outta her “special-spot”!)
My MIL though…she is the sweetest woman in the world! She loves me more then my own mom (who loves me plenty!), and calls me her Sunshine!
We’re expecting our first baby in April (gender unknown) and if it is a boy, I can only hope to be half the MIL she is! She fully believes that she didn’t lose a son, but gained a daughter!
Too funny and it’s weird how on the DIL side of things, we want the MIL to cut the strings already. But looking at my baby boy (he’s 5), I’m like… no way you’re going to move away from us to be with another woman.
zeemaid recently posted..Boogie Wipes – A Review
I have TRIED saying half these things to my MIL and she is still a wretched bitch! She had a terrible relationship with her son (my fiance) all of his adult life, yet decides to find some way to pin it all on me. She treats me like the blacksheep and has seen our son a handful of times since he’s been born (he’s 2!), and most of those times were me being the bigger person and going to their house to visit. She has made his whole family dislike me and it puts me, and my fiance, in a terrible position.
She has taught me EXACLY how not to treat my future daugter in law! My dear son is the only child we are going to have and I look forward to having a daughter some day!
Oh good Lord.
My MIL believes this with all her heart. I’m horrible, I’m a Jezebel, and I’m the dirty little whore of a woman who stole her precious “man” away from her.
I realize you meant this as funny. But it’s not when you have actually had a MIL who actually says things like that and has tried to DO some of those things. My MIL tried to hold my husband’s hand at our ENGAGEMENT DINNER! That is not normal or healthy. She threatened to kill me over an inside joke hubby and I had. She threatened to end me if I “trapped” him into marriage by having children. She STILL thinks, after all of this, that she will move in with us.
Laughing at mental health patients isn’t a good precedence to set. It makes life so much harder for those of us who are actually dealing with it in real life.
It’s comforting to see I’m not the only one. I honestly don’t understand what these women’s problem is. This attachment is crazier than crazy.
Ugh. Mine actually wants her son and only her son to spend the night to wake up on Christmas. She actually gets upset and throws a fit that this doesn’t happen. He’s 29.
And someday, my perfect and beautiful daughter might be someone’s DIL… and that MIL will be infintely lucky should that happen – that broad better be all kinds of *grateful* … or else.
I mean… I’ll be doing the wedding invites so you KNOW I’ll have her address.
Evalynn Rose recently posted..Published Short – Guns and Zombies – A Chick’s Perspective
I hope my daughter never meets your son!!
Things I’ve learned from my MIL:
1) don’t be a martyr
2) when you give your time, money etc. do so without making others feeling guilty or that they owe you, just do so because you love them.
3) If you raise your son/daughter to be strong caring individuals , they will keep you in their lives no matter where they live.
4) When you truly care more for your children then yourself , you show it by being there, not by smothering them. Show up, listen.
Not everyone has a MIL like mine but what we can do is try to raise or kids to choose people who would not accept a spouse who would not care about family.
What goes around comes around. So I guess keep how you treat your MIL in check.
The Arabic word for MIL (hama) is a word that rhyme’s with blindness (ama), thus punning the Arabic saying “A MIL is (like) blindness!” Interestingly, the word for daughter-in-law is the exact word for “Calm down” (kinneh).
I find this funny. My only hope for when my son gets married is that she treats him well and if they have kids she’s a good mom. I’d prefer a son in law prenup honestly.
I hate my MIL. Maybe if she wasn’t so horrible to me, then we would visit or spend time together. She’s vindictive and cruel and manipulative because she wants to control everyone, but why the hell would we want to spend time with her when she is going to insult and criticize us all the time?! She is like poison. I can’t tell you how long I spent trying to please her, and now nobody cares anymore. Just don’t be like that.
Yay, i have 3 daughters. Will never have to deal with a wife. I never realized how sadit is that a beautiful relationship of husband and wife breaks the relation of mother and son.
I’m the MIL. My DIL has hated me FOREVER. It breaks my heart. I wish I had a good relationship with her, but everything I do is wrong, ever since she started seeing my son when he was 13. They have been together since, she randomly decides that she will no longer speak to me, tells my daughter that she sometimes can’t stand her because “you remind me of your mother” and NEVER ever tells me why or try to talk to me about it.
She hates my sense of humor. If I try to treat her like one of my kids, I’m awful, if I try to treat her like a friend, I’m awful and if I ignore her I’m awful.
I don’t get involved in her relationship with my son, even though she tried to sabotage his college career because she felt threatened (she refused to go to college at the time, although she’s now decided to go and is on the Dean’s list) but because he did and persevered, she is able to be a stay at home mom for their kids, well, until she decided to go to school, but she doesn’t have to work.
She tells my son that I was a horrible mother to him and criticizes me for not going to their place, but when I go, she opens the door, looks at me and says “oh.” turns around and goes to get him.
He was a mama’s boy, which is now what she says to him when they fight as an insult, but he is a wonderful husband as a consequence.
I wish I knew how to change this, but it’s very difficult to speak to a wall who doesn’t respond to you.
My only consolation is that THEY have a son, as well. That’ll show her.
I have little sympathy for women who marry men who have such a bizarre relationship with their mothers. If you didn’t know, you didn’t do your research. If you did know and married him anyway, you’re probably crazier than his mother. Not to say men with crazy mothers aren’t worthy of a relationship, but if they can’t/won’t see her for what she is…RUN!
I loved these suggestions when I first saw them a few months ago… so I used them to help wish my Mother in Law a happy birthday. I hope I gave her the recognition she’s been too kind to ask for all along.
Jeannette recently posted..Singing Praises for My Mother-in-Law
According to my ‘soon to be mother in law’ I’m white-trash, filth, my daughter from a previous relationship is an ‘ugly little monster’ She attacked me from behind, attempted to ‘kill’ her self (when in reality is was all an act) Went as far as to text my own mother telling her we’re waiting for her to die to cash in. She thinks the world owes her something, and I should apoligize to her. (I’m sorry, for what?) The list goes on and on! Some would ask why I’d stick around, well I love my guy. I love him enough to have tolerated this for almost two years. Thankfully, the contact between them is almost non-existant but here is the kicker, I work with her.(She is the one who got us together, two months after, I turned into a white-trash whore) I often ask myself, what in the world did I do to land her for a mother in-law, but at the end of the day I can only pray I’m nothing like her when the roles are reversed. To those ladies who have a good mother in law (or one who is not THAT crazy) appreciate her, because trust me it could be worse.
…You ladies have just made me very happy I’m not married. I have two boys, though, so now I’m totally dreading their marriages, should they get married (which, BTW, hadn’t even crossed my mind until I read this! Gah!)

Your kid is probably gonna run outta the house the minute he turns 18 cuz if this. I hope its a joke and you let him live his own life when hes older.
