Some of these write up are so cringe , and some are , unfortunately , so relatable …
A few weeks ago, I wrote aReddit round-upabout badly behaved in-laws. At the end of the post, I invited theBuzzFeed Communityto weigh in with their own experiences, and y’all BROUGHT IT.
And because I ’m a * well - behaved - author * ( or , at least , stress to be ) , I wo n’t make you expect to get to the stories .
So here are 14 more anecdotes about people’s in-laws doing and saying things they absolutely should not have.
1.“My mother-in-law invited a date for my husband to our wedding reception because ‘we would never make it.'”
" We have now been married 50 year . "

2.“Early in my marriage, my in-laws came to visit. My husband and I slept on a sofa bed in the living room and gave them our room. I’d gotten up one morning to start breakfast. My mother-in-law came out of her room and got into bed next to my husband (who wasn’t wearing any clothing). She looked at me and asked, ‘Jealous?’ as my husband grabbed as much bedding as possible to tuck around him.”
" We ’ve now been conjoin 29 age . It serve that they live far away , and we rarely see them .
( Also , the ONLY clock time she smile in any wedding photo was in the one she took with my husband , just the two of them ) . "

3.“There are two things my ex-husband’s family did that were very strange to me right off the bat. First, during our wedding reception, my in-laws’ entire family went to my condo, which my new husband was moving into with me, and trashed it with supposedly ‘funny prank things.’ They covered all toilet seats, handles, and faucets with Vaseline. They filled our entire bedroom with wadded-up old newspaper, covering the floor, bed, and furniture. They opened and emptied all dry goods in the kitchen, all over the floor, removed all light bulbs, etc., etc., etc.”
" I burst into tears when we went to the condo after the wedding to pick up our suitcases for our honeymoon . They had left messages on all the mirrors in my lipstick about how singular the pranks were and how much fun I would have cleaning it up after our trip . I do n’t get how this was funny .
Then , when we visited them on our first Christmas as a married couple in their home , we opened natural endowment , and we were reach solidification of sheet from all his relatives . Nothing but canvas for the seam . All tabloid were foreign convention , like for Thomas Kyd , withDisneyprints and picture of pigs . We had no tike . When I looked disordered at my female parent - in - law of nature , she said , ' I asked you once if you needed anything for your condominium , and you say sheets , so I told everyone that is all you wanted for Christmas . '
I never commemorate having any conversation like that . Everyone else got beautiful jewelry and novel earpiece , and we give everyone expensive , thoughtful gifts . I took home five sets of minor ' sheets .
I did not see my ex-wife - married man ’s fellowship often due to live several thousand Roman mile asunder , but every time I did , they made certain to pull some similar foreign clobber .
My x has had four wife now , and they all apparently complain to him about his family and their passive - aggressive posture toward his wives . "
4.“When I was 16, I dated a family friend’s son for almost two years; during that time, the family friend (my ex’s dad) would smack me on the butt whenever my family came over. it stopped as soon as I dumped the ex.”

5.“My ex-boyfriend’s dad once told his WHOLE family (extended family, family friends, etc.) that I was pregnant at a BBQ. I was really just very hungover and couldn’t keep any food down that day. Later, he said he had said it as a joke. Yeah, so funny.”

6.“My mom’s in-laws initially despised her because my dad was marrying ‘beneath his class,’ to the point where they not only disowned my dad and stopped talking to him, they didn’t even tell him when his father (who he had been very close to) passed away. Instead, he had to hear about it secondhand months later.”

10.“My friend is still married to his wife — they recently had a baby shower for their first baby. The whole time, his mother-in-law was yapping away and crying about how the baby was going to destroy her mother-daughter bond with her daughter. She also cornered my friend’s mom and said she hates him because he isn’t good enough for her daughter.”
" finally , she was tell to stop , or she ’d be kicked out . She spend the rest of the company sulking in a box and drinking wine .
It ’s also not the first trouble they ’ve had with his in - laws . One good afternoon , his female parent - in - jurisprudence let herself into their house and had the gall to be disturbed when she frighten my friend ’s girl , who was home alone . My friend ’s mother - in - jurisprudence was told to leave and call ahead if she wanted to visit .
I ’m hoping my supporter ’s married woman will be able-bodied to stand up to her parents at some point . She is a lovely person , but her parent constantly ruin any celebration they ’re invited to because they do n’t like my friend and are upset that their girl is a turn adult . "
11.“The worst thing my in-laws do is bring up politics.”
" We are polar opposites when it come to politics . They can say some pretty unsavory thing , but they also listen to what I have to say . They ’re just trying to get me to ' see the lighting . ' It ’s never live to happen . I palpate pin sometimes in those conversation . I detest it . "

12.“My ex-mother-in-law invited my then-husband, our daughter, and me to spend Thanksgiving in Arizona, where my then-sister-in-law lived. The mother-in-law said she would take care of all the expenses, which meant that while she and the father-in-law stayed at a fancy B&B, my family was dropped off at the sister-in-law’s house. I tried to be grateful; however, I knew the trip was doomed when the first thing the sister-in-law did when we entered the house was scream, ‘Shut the f*****g door!'”
" The babe - in - law ’s behavior was beyond toxic . She squall at my then - one - yr - old girl every day for being a one - year - old . She screamed so much that her boy had a raptus during the misstep due to the accent she caused .
My daughter cried every Nox because the sister - in - law treat her so badly . The sis - in - law had enough of my daughter ’s crying after a couple of nights and give up a ONE - yr - OLD out of her theatre ! We gladly left .
