Naw, I’d tell the family why I’m not going to be there.

Why did her husband tolerate his wife being given no food at lunch. That’s the limit right there. She should have walked out. And he should have gone with her. Denying. Pregnant woman any food for most of a day? Why would her husband tolerate that

He who pays the piper calls the tune. The old bat refuses to realise she is in no place to "demand" anything. I love when vile people meet a horrible end.

Irene thought she was above her Dil until she found out who's supporting her in the end it's all your fault Irene

Yet another story of a family who should have kicked the toxic person to the curb way before this point.

Hey if THE MIL has the money to afford to buy steaks , she can afford to pay her bills.

Actually you'd be surprised how certain places in the US don't actually have hotels. Especially areas that were heavy farming or still are. The nearest one to us is about 30-40 minutes and that's with a highway. That's one actually nice hotel that was literally finished being built last year and I think 2 or maybe now 3 meh to bad motels. Any actually nice places are almost 2 hours away.

There's an expression. Mess around and find out. Irene is finding out.

Its amazing how losing money can change your mind so quickly lol

Never, never, never bite the hand that feeds you, Irene! "And I want to continue receiving money from you". Of course.

I wouldn't go anywhere I wasn't wanted. When I divorced my husband, my daughter was 7-8 years old. My in-laws were worried about me not coming around and not bringing my daughter. I told them I divorced their son, not them. They gave me an open invitation to all the family events/holidays. And I went, and I took my daughter there even for visits. He remarried 2 weeks after our divorce was final. I still went to the family things even with his new wife there. Then they divorced and he married again. I got along better with this 3rd wife. We acted like I was family, not an ex. Ex and I sort of just tried to not interact. But as I was leaving one holiday, the oldest daughter came out to me in my car and told me I should back out and not come around anymore since he has a new wife and baby on the way. I was really hurt. And started just dropping off my daughter but not staying....I made many excuses. Then one day when I went to visit without the extended family around. My in-laws asked me why I would not come to holidays anymore. So, I told them what their oldest daughter told me. They were infuriated. They said she does not live there and has no business telling people who can or cannot come around their home. So I continued coming for holidays for years. I had great in-laws. My daughter and her family moved away and so we do not visit anymore.

Why didn't you speak up prior? Why let someone you barely know dictate what the whole family wants? I mean, it sounded like they always wanted you around. Look, if those events were dropping your daughter off, you had something else to do, well great whatever. But if you were hurt and wasted time until picking your daughter up, it was kinda your fault. Wasted time that could've been resolved. Look, I agree I don't come where I am not wanted, but it's the owners of the house opinions matter.

@moniquestuckey-kirkham7762 I wondered if they all felt that way and didn't know how to tell me. I was so hurt because she was my favorite sister in law at the time, so I just said as I was told. I think it was only 1 whole holiday season before my MIL asked me why I wasn't coming in anymore.

So why didn’t Max stick up for Lucille at lunch AND dinner? Apparently his word means nothing.

It's not the kids job to support their parents it is the parents job to give what they can as far as advice after they are grown. But if the kids want to help out their parents then that is the choice that they have to talk over with their spouse if they have one. if not then if they are single and they want to help out their parents then that is their choice too. But telling someone to keep sending money after they have put a wedge between their spouse and their In-Laws then cutting them off is the right thing to do. I helped my parents out when I had the money to do so. But now I don't have the money and my parents don't expect me to help out because they know I live on a fixed income.

oh look she's only apologizing because the TAM is closing

Forgive her, but don't everyone desert her. I am sure she would have learned from all this.

What is with all of these stories? Irene isn't a part of her own family by her own definition. No Irene, she is a member of the family - she's married to your son.

In other words, an unstable elderly woman who is jealous snipes at her DIL. As a response, the DIL laughs about condemning the old woman to a lifetime of isolation, grief, and poverty. The DIL even laughs. Which is worse, the jealous sniping (followed by an apology) or the condemnation of the newborn's grandmother with no possibility of redemption? Well, I know two things. 1) Max's life will be poisoned by guilt over piling on to ...kill...his mother and 2) this will never make it to the comments

Money isn't the only 'coin' that makes a member of a family valuable. Time for one. I picked my Mil up from her volunteer job one day, as she didn't drive. Really a wonderful lady. People thought she was MY mother, had to explain she wasn't. Surprised looks that I clearly liked her. 😅

She is not a boss texting her, I would've gone off on her right in front, everyone! Our messages would've been different

Really,I don’t care what husband says I would go to functions but not at her house and where is that husband was going to protect her

I used to write for True Love magazine. This is similar except for the ugly endings.

She's not sorry. Not really. She's only apologizing because she found out the money train is gonna stop. She treated her DIL like straight up trash. I don't blame Lucille at all for not caring what happens to that old bag.

Another story where the D.I.L. is not considered family also she isn't considered family because she hasn't had a baby

Why would the MC go in a home where she isn't welcome? The MIL is a jerk, but she does have a right to keep anyone out of her home that she doesn't want there. I think the MC should have accommodated the MIL. However, she should have notified the MIL about ending the financial aid immediately.

The fil and rest of family liked Lucille. It's the fil's home too. He wanted her there. The family should have made it clear to the mil that her behavior was unacceptable long before it came to this.

Why the hell would anyone send that kind of money , when the MIL treats the daughter like crap ? The MIL is only being nice to her because the daughter in Law has the money . The MIL is only using the Daughter in Law .

Just wondering if you went to a family gathering and a DIL got no food wouldn’t you notice? Wouldn’t you speak up? Also if it is your spouse wouldn’t you storm out? How wouldn’t you notice?

Who has a child for their husband's family? If that's expected of you, run... you have children because you want them, surely? Yes, I do know that's not always the case. Benefits for example, especially in UK... but that's another story

These ditties follow the traditional three point plot structure except at the end? A belly flop.

To the authors: if I had voice actors (yours are wonderful) I'd set up a rival show with better endings. I'd get the people who love the genre but hate the aftertaste of k8cking unsound old people to death , then laughing. You can have the ones who relish cruelty, and I'll take the Christians. Except it'll never happen, no theater here. But it does inspire me a little to write some things that end with the character growing, instead of showing profound ugliness.

Learning her lesson? Irene learned her lesson of gobbling from the tender age of 16!

The only thing that Irene really understands is reporting to the cathouse for her double shifts!

HELL FREAKING NO. Irene you are in no place to be telling anybody what they can and can't do so shut up and suck it. Why do these people let the toxic person go on this long? So if Lucille is a stranger to her in-laws that must mean that Irene is a stranger to her in-laws as well. Good freaking Lord lady your son is a grown ass man, and just because you are his monster mom doesn't give you the right to mistreat his wife.

This will make Irene work harder at the cathouse!
