Your MIL knows this and it hurts her feelings

Oh well. Maybe she should work on herself too, then maybe she would t be so damn annoying.

I love how its always the MIL in these situations. I mean they raised your partner but they are just HORRIBLE people amirite?

How does any of that make you an asshole?

Did I post this?

I can't stand it when people take forever to finish a sentence. I already heard what I needed to hear, no need to fluff it up and continue talking.

I am guffawing at this!

One day you are going to crash into someone and cause some serious harm or death.

I think people who say they feel this way have the MIL who is very (some more than others!!!) set in her ways, and unwilling to accept DIL, unless on MIL's terms. I could see this not relaying an enormous welcome into the family. At some point, DIL in these situations know that they are damned if they do, and damned if they don't - so why not let DH take the heat. After all, DH is accustomed to MILs ways, no matter how unkind and unwelcoming (okay nasty) MIL may be. I can DIL not tolerating any abuse, why should she (she didn't do anything)?

You could be right but for the vast majority of DILs on this forum who lament about their MIL they usually show their true colors sooner or later. They end up being at least part of the problem if not the entire problem.

Of course your husband says that. He has to live with you.
Be careful DIL, your kids are watching. They see everything....that's why history repeats itself.

You are probably the exception and not the rule.

This is my cousin! She was always hideous to her MIL, saying it was all the MIL's doing. Causing tension between MIL and her son, controlling how, when, why MIL could see/interact with her grandkids.Making tiny molehills into mountains. Her MIL was lovely and caring and a good grandma. Well now my cousin's son is getting married and wouldn't you know it her future DIL is just the WORST. And its all DILs doing and she is just causing terrible trouble between mother and son.

Gee, cousin, think it might be you?

I avoid the checkout lane with the Down's syndrome packer. He throws my bread at the bottom of the bag and smushes my eggs on top. Don't they get packing training?

I also park in pregnant parking. Whatevs.
