      ​@@PeopleRTheProblema lot of terrible people like to hide that side of themselves until they've "locked down" their partner. Abusers and narcissists do this all the time. Some wait until after you've moved in together, some wait until the wedding night. It's not that hard to find stories of people who's spouse literally changed overnight after they got married. Terrible people love being deceptive.

    About the ‘real vagina’ one: I remember reading this one a while ago. It turns out her family was really prudish and did not discuss anything remotely sex related. Plus lack of sex education in school when she was growing up, she only had to go on what she vaguely remembered her own mother telling her. It never came up with her own daughters, miraculously they didn’t suffer any infections.
    There was a good resolution and his wife talked to her and caught grandma up on all the pertinent health related bits. Grandma was very understanding after the initial fight. They all apologized as well because the father realize he had been a bit rude and could have handled it better

My poor mother told me she started menstruation and had no idea and thought she was going to bleed to death. Her mother hadn't talked about anything with her yet and she swore she wouldn't let that happen to her daughters so she talked with us sooner rather than later and basically was matter of fact so we would not freak out like she did. I was glad this story had a good update.

    Same “grandma” as my previous post, quilt edition. She was a prolific quilter, all done totally by hand. As each grandchild got married they received a quilt as her wedding gift. They were gorgeous! Detailed piecing, intricate stitching, embroidery, the works. A true heirloom. Three others got married before me, dad’s oldest brothers kids, and theirs were spectacular. I honestly didn’t expect to get one when I got married, she never much cared for me. Imagine my surprise when, at my wedding shower, when there was a quilt size box there from her. I was so excited to open it, all the Canyon people leaning forward to see what design she had chosen for me. It was a plain, blue and white nine patch, alternate blocks in plain white, white back, plain quilted. What we would have called a beginner quilt. In one corner, embroidered in white, on a white block, were our names and our wedding date. I made a monumental effort not to let her know how hurt I was. The Canyon people were all looking at each other, shaking their heads. They were as shocked as I was, but I knew no one would be brave enough to call her on it. Later, when I went to thank her, to told her I was so happy about the pattern she chose because it would look so crisp and clean and would really set off the lovely white pillow shams with blue embroidery my future mother in law had made for me. “Oh, well, I’m glad you like it, I embroidered the names and date in white so you can still use it if the marriage doesn’t work out.”

      The MIL sounds awful, but the spineless husband lashing out at his wife for daring to stand up to her is worse. My BIL's mother can be overbearing, but he stands up to her. For my sister, that makes all the difference in the world, because it stops the MIL becoming unbearable and reins in her behaviour. Because she's given enforced boundaries, it would never get to a 2 year old's hissy fit because she didn't get her own way.

    I just wanna say that my mother is a quilter and makes quilts for everyone in our family, starting when they're babies. My wife and I didn't plan to have human babies but had our dogs and both dogs got a quilt*, exactly like every other baby in the family (except theirs had pics of the dogs printed onto fabric that's in sewn into them). I have 3 quilts of my own and my wife has one and will be getting another (so excited for her to see our son's baby shirts I snuck to my mom that she's going to include as a surprise!!). We took on raising my nephew whom we've adopted and he got one within a couple of months of us getting him. My momma is the best!
    Now, all that being said, my momma loves quilting and it's her hobby. She chooses who she makes quilts for and she would never exclude someone just because they have or don't have human children. So, yes, it kinda sucks that that little family is being excluded, but, the MIL is free to make, or not, for whomever she wants. Everyone deserves to know their family, whether they have human children or not, is valid. If I were them, I'd commission a quilt of my own and get something I really loved instead of worrying about someone whose gift only comes if you fulfill their expectations.
    *I'm so glad my mother did make the dogs their own quilts because we had to put my dog to sleep about 2½ weeks before unexpectedly having to take on the baby and I'm so glad I have that memorial of something so important to me. She took her last breath on that quilt and I keep it where I can see it every day. 🩷🩷

      In regard to the Reddit story, I agree with you. If the mother-in-law intended to leave them out for the suspected reason, that doesn’t make her a good person in this story. If the daughter-in-law was demanding a quilt, she was also wrong. If she only wanted to know the truth about whether her mother-in-law planned to leave her and her husband out for not having children, then I believe it was okay for her to ask, but maybe how she went about doing so was not the best.

      Thanks, everyone 😊 my mom is actually biologically my grandma (dad's mom) but she raised me from 3 months old when my birth-giver signed me away to my daddy and my daddy had to work to support us. She didn't have to raise me and could've given me back to my daddy at any time, but she didn't. I can't imagine how different my life would've been without her as my primary parent. I'm also the only gay person in the family (so far) and not only has she always loved and supported me, but she welcomed my wife with open arms (as she did for all my long-term partners I had before I met my wife). My wife's parents, especially her mother, have been downright awful to her since we got together (and we've been together nearly 10 years and married nearly 9!). I've still never met my MIL because she despises me despite us never having met. My own mother moved to another state a few years ago and she still takes time to reach out to my wife unprompted. I really lucked out when she agreed to raise me. 💜

    My stepdad married my mom when I was five. My stepgrandma never approved of my sister and I, even though my stepdad treated us as his own daughters. We were the oldest of all the grandkids in that family and even lived with her for a year. I was the only one with her on the day she died. At her funeral, my sister and I were startled to hear from the pastor that she made quilts for all the grandkids (6 others) for their high school graduations. She did? Quilts? We didn't get a quilt. We were sad, but less sad after hearing that. The wild thing is that Grandma was sent away when she was a little girl to be raised by other family members because she was born into a family of 11 kids, and there wasn't enough food/space/resources. You would think she would have known what it felt like to be treated as "other."

    My grandmother was a quilter when she was alive and always made quilts for practically everyone. She gave both of my sisters very nice blankets (she also knitted), but I never got a nice one. The one I got had no rhyme or reason and was basically one she had lying around that she didn't want while other blankets or quilts that people got were ones based off of their favorite things or colors. I believe now that it was because of some petty reasons and issues she had with me. I'm a lot like my mom and she DESPISED my mom so much that I got the short end of the stick. She treated my sisters better than me from what I can recall. While I appreciated the blanket at the time, it left me feeling both disappointed and a bit bitter towards her because she didn't even make the time or the effort to get to know me as her own granddaughter. So, knowing that I would never get a quilt from her like I had always wanted, in my late teens and into my early 20's, I decided to use that bitter feeling to advantage and learned how to quilt for two reasons. So that I could have a common hobby and maybe get close to her, which unfortunately never happened. Also, so that I could make myself the most beautiful quilt I've ever seen. So my advice for the one reddit user, If you want a quilt that badly, go to a hobby store, buy yourself a sewing machine(a good one with all the gadgets but not too fancy is 400), buy some fabric and pull up RUclips and learn how to quilt yourself. You got this.

    We had a similar situation with the quilt in my family. Background-there are 10 kids in my family and 25 grandchildren. My mom started making a quilt for each grandchild when they got married. My son is in the middle of the pack, but when it was his turn to get a quilt my mom suddenly decided she was tired of making the quilts. Now I can understand that considering the time and expense, but one of my nephews was getting married about 4 months after my son. Mom started talking about the quilt she was going to make for him. I lost it with my mom and didn’t speak to her for about 3 months. It got back to me that she was grudgingly making a quilt for my son, but would state that it was the smallest quilt she had made and she didn’t think it was very pretty. Mind you, my son is probably one of her least favorites of the grandkids, although he has gained some favor because mom really likes the girl he married. Another point I’d like to make is the fact that mom has about 10 quilts that she has made that are just stacked up in her basement. When I mentioned that she could just give my son one of those, her response was that those are “special” quilts. My son has been married for 6 years now and the “special” quilts are still stacked in the basement.

      Yeah I definitely was looking for a comment like this, I agree with Charlotte that you're not generally entitled to anyone's time or effort, but in the context of a close relationship like family, it's such a shitty thing to do to only create quilts for some kids/grandkids and not others, unless you have a really valid reason like a history of a disgruntled or unhealthy relationship. Like you have to know that's going to be so hurtful, so at the very least, in both your case and in the Reddit case, those grandmas should have planned some kind of "backup" or "alternative" gift to make it fair for everyone. It's so dumb that you son never even got one of the "special" quilts that clearly aren't being used elsewhere.

      My family from one side we're only six grandchildren. 2 of the oldest are married with kids. The rest of us are all single and not close being marries or having kids any time soon. My grandmother made quilts for the 2 older ones, me and my younger brother, over 15 years ago. The two youngest ones didn't get cause the type of quilts my grandmother makes are expensive and very time consuming so she was postponing it, and those two cousins moved from place to place, so it was a little inconvenient for them to carry huge quilts here and there. Both older cousins had their home robbed when they were on vacation (they are siblings and lived with their parents when this happened), and for some reason the robber took all the expensive items and the quilts. So the only quits in the family are mine and my brother's. What we decided to do was to pass it on to my cousins kids, and by the time me or my brother have kids, the other kids will be much older. So it's something that we're sharing even though not everyone got one.
      Edit: to clarify the two oldest are siblings, my brother and I are the midle ones, and the two youngest are also siblings.

    My grandmother deliberately made my mother feel 'less than' by gifting every other adult woman in the family matching presents, but excluding her. For example, my grandmother had a gold charm which contained an onyx doublet sandwiched between two crystal layers set in a fancy gold bezel. Upon the doublet, the first letter of her name was set in tiny diamonds. One by one, everyone got one, beginning with her two daughters -- my aunts, and then moving to her son's wives. She gifted each daughter, and then her DILs a smaller version of the same pendant, each with the letter of their own first name. All except my mother.
    Grandmother didn't gift them out all at the same time. One aunt would come in to a family gathering wearing her necklace, then a few months later, the next aunt.
    Initially, my mother thought she probably hadn't gotten a necklace yet, because she was the most recently married into the family. There were 5 boys, and the eldest two were married by now, and she was the wife of the second.
    Then my grandmother began giving the wives of her brothers, and then the wives of her husbands brothers, their own pendants. Same thing, each personalized with the initial of their first name.
    Again, it felt weird that my mother hadn't been given her own necklace yet, but all the wives of the grandparents brothers had also been married into the family before my mother, so there was a certain logic.
    There were still 3 unmarried brothers, and at some point, the next one married. Almost immediately, the newest DIL was gifted her own necklace by my grandmother.
    It was pretty clear after that, that my mother's was being excluded. Her feelings were very hurt, and she was very angry at being so passive aggressively singled out in that manner, in a family that was huge, who saw and spent time with each other daily.
    It was very sad, and significantly impacted my mother's happiness, and peace of mind.

      Your mother should get her own necklace done up in the same way and wear it at the next family gathering without telling anyone she got it for herself, it would totally make grandma seethe in anger because she can't really say anything about it without outing herself as deliberately excluding her in front of everyone, and mother gets a lovely necklace. She could even lie and say she received it in the mail and simply thought it was her necklace from grandma, just delivered differently compared to everyone else, "what do you mean it isn't the gift you give to all the women in the family, grandma? Look at it, it looks identical to X family members! I'm glad to finally be getting my necklace after all these years, grandma!" just to watch her squirm and get that petty revenge back on her

      That MIL clearly has narcissistic personality disorder. Six symptoms : 1. lies about her intentions; 2. does not respect boundaries; 3. wants continued control over everybody and everything; 4. when caught doing very bad, plays the victim of "prank"; 5. when her conspiracy to invade her son's and DIL's privacy is uncovered, goes in hysteric tears and tantrum to deflect; 6. When that doesn't work to her satisfaction, rallies her flying monkeys (children she knows will side with her) to attack the person who exposed her scheme.
      These kinds of people cannot be trusted nor reasoned into respecting others. Having had a narcissistic mother myself, I have a plan for DILs who face that kind of problem : after giving her the false key, I would prepare for her to bring up the subject and answer by : "Really ? Your key didn't work ? I'm so surprised ! Give it back and I'll have a talk with the locksmith about it." I would give her a real key after a while, having put surveillance cameras (unbeknownst to the husband, of course) everywhere in the house, to definitely catch her sneaking in and rummaging through my things. Then, I would send the footage to the husband. If the husband still sides with his mother, I would divorce and send the footage to the whole family with the message that I only gave permission in case of an emergency which the MIL had declared herself would be the intent.

    The quilt thing. I felt that. So my grandmother, who was a great grandmother when she passed at 87 had frequently spent tons of time and love and money on almost all the grandchildren and great grandchildren in our family. The exception was my brother and his baby girl. She in a crazy systematic way excluded them from acknowledgement except when bragging about being a great grandmother. It was disturbing. She would even rope in children not related to our family except by marriage to second cousins. I would get so mad hearing her fawn over them. Like there was no relation but she would verbally count them as hers. And my little brother was so hurt by it all, that he basically pretended that she didn't exist. He stopped acknowledging her, too, the last few years of her life. I don't blame him. Being treated that way by someone you have loved all your life is heart-wrenching. But thinking back as an adult, I can remember clearly how she actually treated him growing up. I never recognized before. My grandmother wasn't kind to him at all and punished him more than any other grandchild for trivial things. And a part of me can't forgive her. I do not care that she's dead. She wasn't a very good person if she could treat a child that way.

    For the quilt story... ESH. Quilts (esp elaborate ones made with love and care) take an awful amount of time, and the way OP went about it was tactless and demanding. MIL is allowed to rest her fingers/hands for as long as she damned well pleases. However, the fact that the MIL excluded OP and her husband because they didn't have kids says volumes about her, bc newsflash: any artist worth their salt can improvise, and if she really considered them 'worthy' of a quilt, then she'd improvise.

    • @jimbobjones9330

      The thing is, OP LITERALLY rushed in there demanding a quilt. Remember, here's what happened:
      - MIL finished a quilt
      - Almost immediately, OP asks the SIL when she'll be getting hers
      - The SIL (not the mother) says it isn't happening
      - OP comes in demanding a quilt from the MIL, likely rudely (if OP comes across this rude and entitled on the post, imagine how bad she must be in real life)
      - MIL gets rightfully angry, and responds in kind
      There's every possibility that the MIL was trying to figure out a way to make OP and her husband a quilt, but was having trouble figuring it out, as OP's entire personality comes down to "Doesn't have kids". (I bet she calls people with kids "breeders")
      Maybe if OP waited a year or two and asked nicely, the MIL would have figured something out. But OP went in guns blazing and was an entitled AH -- I wouldn't make anything for her either, never mind something as time-consuming and effortful as a quilt.

      I feel like the kid thing is a red herring here. It sounds like the DIL might be a jerk who is also child free. MIL might not like her for other perfectly valid reasons. I agree about the improv thing. I’m a quilter and I can find a pattern or material for literally anyone I love but making a quilt for someone I have negative feels for would be impossible. It’s hard to explain but some relationships aren’t “quilt worthy” and if it comes across as favoritism then that should be a sign for DIL to reevaluate her attitude and expectations of her MIL.

Camping, staying with family and friends, going to hotels, etc. It started to fall apart and every small move caused rips, even when I started to handwash it.

Then she used an antique sewing machine to put them together before paying someone else to finish the assembly (border, batting, back, and edges) then machine quilting them. The embroidery was beautiful and it cost a small fortune having them finished. I don't use mine because I have several pets and I don't want to risk any damage to my grandmother's work of love. I'm just happy to have possession of it and know that she chose the design and all the colors specifically for me (bluebirds of happiness with a pink border and backing). If anyone had tried to demand a quilt from her, she would probably have told them how much they cost to make and offered to sell them one. There were some that she did sell, for hundreds of dollars.

    I had a patient at the hospital once that was 80-90 years old. We were talking about her peri-areas and I mentioned how she had three holes down there and she looked at me like I was crazy. She didn't know that she had 3. She thought she had 2! Back then no one talked about their who-haws. That had to have been in the late 80.s so she must have been born at the turn of the last century. I think she also had kids. So you are never to old to learn something new.

    Little details for the first story. The husband never blames his mother and always says to OP that she is overreacting.
    OP said in some comments from her reddit post, that he blamed HER for MIL barging in on them being "busy". First time he said she should have locked the bedroom door and second time, he even blamed her because they were "busy" in another room than the bedroom.

    My grandmother did a quilt for my son when he was born. I could tell by the stitching that she was getting to old to quilt. I treasure it and passed it on to my son a couple of months ago. I appreciate her time and effort to give such a gift. I didn't ask for it and I know she worked very hard on it. Love labor. I am 60 and my son is 27. My grandmother has passed and I know how important her love for quilting was. Never ask someone for something, only appreciate it when it is given out love on their own time.

      They're both being kind petty on this issue. One OP has the right to be upset because legit everyone else in the family has a blanket and I for one would be upset if I didn't get something that all of my siblings got. BUT at the same time demanding a quilt be made for her is just the wrong thing to do. The mom is also being petty in that she's made these quilts for ALL of her other children and it's kind of a slap in the face because one of her children doesn't have kids and maybe never will, which is fine, but she's now refusing to make one for the couple because of this, which isn't fair to them.

      I feel ya, buddy. As the overlooked older child who watched family members spoil the bejeebus out of my younger siblings and cousins, I'm not entitled to nice gifts but it sure feels bad to not get any consideration. Hell, I took the 18th birthday gift of a jellybean in a "Happy 90th Birthday" card as graciously as I could at the time and then bawled my eyes out in my room that night, realizing that I wasn't even a consideration when it came to family members I'd spent so much time, money and consideration on. It sucks and hurts and I was never able to go burned bridges because I'm too much of a pushover, but from my side of the fence, I'll never see those family members like I used to. It taints all the good times to know that you meant less than nothing to people who meant so much to you.

      She could have promised that it would stay in the family as an heirloom... MANY ways she could have worked this, including being a gracious person when being told no.
      Instead she acted like an entitled brat.
      I kinda believe that this might not be the only time she has shown this kind of attitude, and could be the REAL reason MIL doesn't like her, or want to do that much work for her.

    For the quilt girl: She could have simply told her mother-in-law that she felt excluded from something she saw as a family tradition. She could say that as her mother-in-law was getting older she was afraid that she wouldn't have children in time for her mother-in-law to make the quilt, and that she would be very happy to receive the quilt even if it was incomplete, That she would make the effort of filling in the missing parts later with the children that were to come, or at least that her son would have a fond memoeir to keep of his mother

  • @HungryOrca

    While I would also feel sad about being the only one to not receive a quilt, quilts are insanely labor intensive. Not only is it perfectly reasonable for MIL to take a break after making 4 quilts, why would you want a quilt from someone who doesn't like you? After that behavior, she would probably just be thinking negative thoughts about OP the whole time she was working on it. That's not the kind of energy you want to put into a handmade gift.

    On the AITA post about the quilts, that one got me fired right up! Haha. I make quilts, and have since I as a teenager. 15+ years of making them. Mine are all machine done, but I was apart of a group of women who had a few that hand sew quilts and I was aware that was a skill I could never force myself to possess. Each of my quilts, depending on size, range from $500 to $1,000 of supplies. I have never made one in exchange of money, only gifts and they were personally chosen for the recipient. (ie. fabric, pattern, etc.) All of my quilts are unique to me, meaning none have the same pattern/fabric. I recently made one for my brother that was a Labyrinth pattern and it was fun but challenging and took me 6 months to finish. Since doing it, I have had other's request I make them one (for free of course), because "You already did one, so you already know how to do it." My brother's quilt was specific to him, due to him picking the theme of Optical Illusion, and he chose the fabric himself. The over all finished product was a surprise. Just a side note, none of my quilt recipients asked for a quilt, which made it all the more fun because they weren't expecting it. My brother was the exception because the one I made for him as a teenager was falling apart and not fixable. The new one was a replacement, and many friends and family could not understand how he has two, and they have none. The old one is packed away as a keepsake, and the new one he uses. (By uses, I mean he takes it everywhere, even when he is camping in a hammock.) I see both sides to the post, but I ultimately am siding with the MIL. MIL is a bit of an A because she could have offered to make something else more suited to their "Lifestyle" or OP could have asked for a different style, or something unique for her and hubby, but to outright demand a "family" quilt because the other "families" got one is ridiculous. Slow clap for MIL who put her foot down and won't make any now. I have a no-list in my FAMILY because they threw a toddler tantrum and felt entitled to one. OP sounds like an entitled brat and burned a definite bridge. Would love to hear a MIL point of view update on that one. Seems like there was more to the story that OP purposefully left out.

    The wiping story does have an update but I guess it got deleted because the account is deleted. The MIL seriously thought the vagina doesn't developed until puberty and after being shown evidence that that is NOT the case, she apologized and was really embarrassed. She claimed that when she was growing up that's what her mother had told her and since she grew up in an era where talking about your body was a huge social no-no, she never learned otherwise.
    It's been a while since I've seen this story so my recollection of the update may be a bit off, but I do remember the MIL apologizing and the whole thing was just generational ignorance on anatomy.

Because not getting a quilt while all his siblings did basically sends a message his mother doesn't love him as much. Do you not think he is entitled to being as loved by his MOTHER as his siblings??? I think he does. The wife was acting "entitled" not because she feels she deserves a quilt but because her husband deserves it... And she was being a good wife sticking up for him... It's so sad how many people say she's in the wrong because "oh the entitlement", the entitlement is correct.

      I had a key to my parents place - they lived over 4 hours away from us and we would drive down after work on a Friday night and arrive around 11pm or even later. Since they were elderly, they sometimes would go to bed before we arrived so we would let ourselves in quietly and go to bed. If they were up, we would be met with cups of tea, hot toast or crumpets often cooked over the open fireplace in winter and lots of hugs.
      When I first moved out of home, I was working in a research lab where things could get messy (think blood etc) so one of my best mates who lives a few streets away had a key to my place and I to hers just in case either of us needed help, a sudden change of clothes, got sick etc and also since our parents were several hours away. One time I got completely covered - don't ask..- and she was able to dash to my place and grab me some clean clothes while I had a shower and cleaned up at work rather than driving home wrapped in God knows what, making my car smell like a dumpster for weeks after. We are still friends and its been nearly 40 years now since we first met at uni and I would trust her with the keys to my house any day... my ex mother in law.....NEVER!!!!!

    These are all pretty insane. The quilt thing though I wanted to share. My maternal great grandma would make quilts for all the babies in the family. When I was about 7/8 she was hospitalized and ended up passing. Before she passed while in the hospital my mom decided to make her one for a change. Only one ever made too. I remember my mom taking a photo of me and my best friend holding it up to send my grandpa before sending the quilt. After she passed my family had gone to collect her belongings and someone had stolen the quilt. They literally stole a home made quilt from a dead woman. My mom was furious. We lived across the country and she had originally requested to get it back after passing because she made it but it was also the last thing she got to do for her beloved grandma.
