Crazy penis-kissing MIL update
Sorry if this has already been posted: http://community.thebump.com/cs/ks/forums/thread/39863974.aspx?MsdVisit=1
Cliff Notes: MIL is in counseling; OP and her H are in counseling but so far the counselor only wants to talk about the OP and not her H's issues. MIL is telling everyone at her work that OP sleeps topless with the baby and that he's always naked when she comes over. *cue cuckoo noise*

Re: Crazy penis-kissing MIL update
What the flip? I hope all of her coworkers gossip about that lunatic in payroll.
Husbands should be like Kleenex: Soft, strong, and disposable.
she really seems to have no understanding of what constitutes acceptable behavior with a baby.
I love how people in bad situations are always shocked the the therapists think they have issues too. No, no, it's always the other person who needs help.

She really seems to have no understanding of what constitutes acceptable behavior. Period.
All around an icky story. :-/
The hair grows in thick where the horn used to be.
i bathe with my son. tooooootally nude.
I am taking your child away for this gross-ness. I guess that means he has to come live with me.
I have to say, I'm impressed with how she is handling the situation. I don't know how I'd be able to deal with such craziness.
Except she loses points for sticking her head in the sand about what is going on with the MIL. You don't get to "not be privy" to that when it affects your husband and child.

If there is the possibility of my kid ever seeing her again, I'd want to know exactly what kind of counseling she's in. For that matter, I'd be fairly uncomfortable with my husband not telling me everything since he has apparently been keeping secrets about his mother's abuse for years, including after we had a son and he allowed the baby to be in a harmful situation. That's not an issue of respecting privacy, that's an issue of you no longer get to hide the secrets and shame b/c now our family and child are being harmed.
ETA: Also, I'd want to know exactly what her counseling involved b/c that would be the sole reason I would not have called the police. I'd need to know she was addressing the issues and not simply bittching to her therapist about how mean her DIL was.
Is not ever seeing her/talking to her again not an option? The woman is obviously tapped. My MIL has never kissed my imaginary childs wiener and we have a great agreement where we know we hate each other, so we don't ever see each other. If she started nosing my kids genitalia she'd be cut out without a second thought and I certainly wouldn't care about her enough to push her into counseling. I thought maybe I was just a really cold nasty heartless person, but I asked my H what he'd do if his mom pulled this and he was disgusted and said he would never visit her or even consider letting our kid near her.
And I feel like I'm the only one who thinks its weird that her H even briefly discussed her removing her nursing tank and sleeping topless.
I agree. It's just hard to mention all the effed up things in this story.
I agree. How does she even know that her MIL is talking about these specific issues? She may be going to counseling but using the time to talk about something totally unrelated.
I would want to know exactly what happened to my husband. As much as it may be painful to hear, who wouldn't want to know so they could be there for their spouse?
