Advice
Dear Nataley,
My semi-serious boyfriend and I have been together for about 3 years. I love him a lot and could see us having a future together if it weren’t for the fact that his mother is the ultimate mega-beast bitch. She’s so nasty that I have seriously considered ending the relationship for good with my boyfriend because of the way she treats me. I don’t want to, but I don’t know how much more I can take from her. Any thoughts?

Dear Lost,
Believe it or not, hating your in-laws is common. I know my husband wasn’t very fond of my mother at first, it was so bad that I had to confront her about her behavior and ignore her phone calls for three months before she got the hint. When she realized that I was serious she eased up on the hubby and we were home free from then on in the in-law department. I don’t know how your boyfriend feels about it, does he know you’re at your wits end with mommy dearest? If not, you need to put your feelings out on front street. If she’s still an asshole after boyfriend talks to her and all else fails, spray-paint some profanities in her yard, it’ll be at least a month or two before she can mow it out and you’ll get a chuckle out of it every time you see the dirty beast.
Happy painting!
Nataley
