Trauma for life

By he's still not convinced - This FML is from back in 2013 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, while visiting my mother, she asked my son who his favorite parent was. As a growing boy, he chose his father. I don't mind, except she then asked, "So, whose side are you taking in the divorce?" My husband and I have no marital issues. My son refuses to believe us. FML

Your mother is despicable. Why would she even do that?

She's attempting to plant the seed that will grow into an inevitable divorce. Clever girl.

Oh jeez... Bitch alert on your mom op.

This is when you explain that grandma has a little problem telling the truth.

Hey, OP here.Just as some back ground, this is my first marriage, and my mother has been through 3. I believe she did this because she is bitter because we don't bring our son around her often, if you couldn't guess why. My.husband and I are not having any problems because of this, and I made my mom tell our son the truth. And yes, as some of you have commented, my father was my favorite parent. Plus, I also think my mother is a bitch, but she IS my mother and I love her regardless. She now has to be accompanied by me or my husband at all times while with our son and if she does anything like that again, she is grandma-grounded for a month, and will not be allowed to see him. Thanks for the comments!

Grandma-grounded. I love it. Hopefully she'll realize you aren't going to take her crap around your kids. Stand your ground, it's worth it in the end.

You're absolutely right OP. Definitely sounds like she's bitter and jealous she couldn't make 1of the 3 weddings she had, workout! It's good to hear you and your husband are doing well! Marriage has it's up's and downs... Don't let something like this cause havoc between you and the hubs! Doesn't seem like it has though... In-laws can be brutal.

I thought it would be something like this. It's good you talked to her about it.

Besides the fact your Mother said something untrue like that... She also should not be asking him who his favorite parent is. It's not right.

Haha maybe its her sense of humour, your son will realise over time she's lying anyway

Perhaps she was joking about the divorce? Or really does want you to split up

My mother has never liked my husband. I don't know if she is trying to split us up or what. all I know is she's a really rude, mean woman

Your mother is a bitch. Meddling in your marriage is an atrocious act. Put your man first. Kick that woman out of your life until she respects and honors your mate.

send her to the nurseing homes before it is too late!
