Dear Tee, my mother in law hates me and it a becoming a big isse for me and my home. I know that my friends warned me to beware of her when I was about to officially move live with my husband but I felt I could manage.
Things have gotten for the worse and I got tired of keeping quiet for peace to reign when my husband doesn’t want to take sides. I have brothers who are married and my mum treat them as daughters in love. I wonder why my case is different.

One of the thing that made me question if my mother in law hates me is the kind of food stuff she sends to the house. What happened was that my husband and I are busy types. I have a 9-5 job so l’m hardly at home and I earn a lot of money. So far I am the one catering for the home while my husband tried to get his new business up.
And since his mum and sister lived together at the village part of Abuja, it was easier to let them help us buy foodstuff. It was also a way of supporting her foodstuff business. The rationale is that they have time and they know where to get it cheaper, still I wanted to argue but I let it slide.
Which I agree is my mistake, because I shouldn’t have allowed it happen in the first place. But then , I got tired because even if my mother in law hates me, she should have pity for her son and grandchildren. This happened for 6 whole years but I kept my calm.
They buy things that are cheap and substandard. They buy products that are due for expiration in one month. They buy moi moi leaf that’s so bad, they buy hard meat that my children can’t chew and the fish is not fresh. I told my husband I will no longer be spending my hard earned money for me and my children to eat spoilt stuff.

And I told her I wont be sending them money for the foodtuff again. That its enough! It was then it became clear my mother in law hates me. She will now come to the house and not talk to me. I have overheard her telling her daughter I am wasting my husband’s money with the foodstuff I buy.
I am beyond pissed because it is my money and she thinks its her son’s. It does not even help that my husband has been cheating and every little proceed from his business enhances his cheating lifestyle. I am so tired and I wondering if I should leave.
