Share your monster in laws horror stories.

My partner's mother, a real 'monster in law', was extremely possessive of her son. She would try to interfere in every little decision we made as a couple, from what we ate for dinner to how we decorated our home. It led to a lot of arguments between me and my partner, and it took a long time for him to see how controlling his mother was.

Well, one horror story could be when in - laws constantly interfere in parenting decisions. For example, they might undermine the parents' rules for the kids, like allowing the kids to have unlimited screen time when the parents have set a strict limit. This can create a lot of tension and confusion for the children and lead to arguments between the couple and the in - laws.

Well, I heard of a case where the monster in law had very superstitious beliefs. When the daughter - in - law was about to give birth, she insisted on some strange rituals in the hospital room. She brought in all kinds of herbs and started burning them, which not only violated the hospital rules but also made the pregnant woman extremely uncomfortable and anxious. This really affected the birthing process negatively.

Well, there was a case where the mother - in - law was overly critical during the pregnancy. She would comment on the mother's weight gain and diet all the time. When it came to the birth, she showed up uninvited to the hospital and started making demands on the medical staff, causing chaos and making the mother extremely anxious during the already stressful birth process.

There was this time I was in an old hotel. I was staying in a room on the top floor. In the middle of the night, I heard faint footsteps in the hallway. Then, the doorknob started to rattle as if someone was trying to get in. I called the front desk but no one answered. I pushed a chair against the door and sat there trembling until morning.

Sometimes, it might be necessary to limit contact for a while. If the situation is really bad and all attempts at communication and setting boundaries have failed, taking some time apart can give everyone a chance to cool down. But this should be a last resort and done in a way that doesn't completely sever the relationship. You can still be civil when you do see them again in the future.

One horror story is when the mother - in - law constantly criticized every little thing the new bride did. From the way she cooked to how she decorated the house. It made the bride feel so unwelcome and stressed in her own home.

Once on the muni, I saw a huge rat running across the floor. It was so disgusting and everyone was screaming. The driver just kept driving as if nothing happened.

My Amex horror story involves their billing system. There were some incorrect charges on my bill. When I tried to dispute them, the process was so convoluted. I had to send in multiple documents and wait for weeks. And even after all that, the issue wasn't fully resolved and I ended up paying a bit more than I should have.

One of my sublease horror stories was when the subletter completely trashed the place. They left garbage everywhere, and there were stains on the carpets and walls. It took a lot of money and effort to clean up after them.
