From The Confessional: ‘I Despise My MIL’
23 parents sound off on the families they married into
Most people seem a little more comfortable venting publicly about their in-laws than their own families. So you can imagine they have even more to say when the venue is anonymous. While the theme of most of these confessions is wanting to avoid phone/IRL contact with in-laws at all costs, that’s not all people have to say about their family-members-by-marriage. Here are 23 anonymous complaints about people’s in-laws shared with the Scary Mommy Confessional.
