About this episode
Hi friends, happy Wednesday!

The other day I was watching Monster In Law - remember that movie? It starred J Lo, her character falls in love with this dream guy, they get engaged, and everything is perfect until… she meets her mother-in-law. 

The mother in law is played by Jane Fonda by the way, she’s so good in it. And the whole movie is essentially about how this mother in law makes her future daughter in law’s life hell, so she can break up the marriage. 

I caught this movie on TV, around mother’s day. Which made me laugh, because when most of us think of mother’s day, we think of flowers, chocolate, cards that say I love you. But for so many people, that’s not the case. 

Sometimes moms can be the worst. Which got me thinking… who *are* the worst mothers in history? And what did they do to be considered *so* bad? 

Well, let me just say, I wasn’t expecting to find *so* many crazy stories. I had to keep it to two. So let’s get into it. Welcome to the Dark History of Momsters. Get it? Moms who are Monsters?! 

I appreciate you for coming by, and tune in next week for more Dark History.
