You sound awful.

Your last sentence is probably a little bit true for most MILs. I expect to feel that way if my son marries.

The rest speaks more about your character than hers.

Spoken like a fatter, dumber, broker mother who will make a shitty MIL.

Really excellent response. Thanks.

Read what you wrote. Maybe she just can't stand you because you are a pompous bitch.

I knew some asshole would pop up with a negative reaction to this. No, what I wrote is not the reason for her attitude towards me. I bent over backwards to be close to her and it is because I have forgiven her over and over and overlooked slights that we have any relationship at all. But I am no fool and neither are those around me. People have told me that I intimidate her and I have also seen the cattiness with which she treats any woman who she feels is better than her in any way. I am tall, naturally thin, and accomplished, and she has actually said to me that it is unfair that I am "winning" at life.

. Well, if it looks like a duck, acts like a duck, quacks like a duck...er, bitch...

Yes, indeed, you are a bitch. I am glad you can see this.

Oh, how nice. There are at least two of us here.

Oh, I actually couldn't tell that there was more than one person posting from your computer. I guess it makes sense that you are both bitches. Birds of a feather and all.

Put down the wine glass. You are demonstrating that you are dumb ass as well as a bitch.

Hi, MIL!

My MIL is gracious and not one to stir the pot. She's never been anything but kind to me. I got lucky!

I affectionately refer to my MIL as my 'Monster-in-law'. There can't possibly be a better description for her.

When she makes her off handed comments I just deliver one back. When she points out my flaws, I embellish hers. When she gets raging mad at me, I stay calm and politely ask her "You seem mad. Are you mad?" That usually shuts her up for a while. Even DH can't stand her antics.

+1 She doesn't have time for that kind of crap.

Several weeks ago while I was out of town, MIL asked DH if I was mad at her because of the way I said goodbye at THANKSGIVING. Um, sorry, can't remember last week let alone five months ago. You wait until now to say something?!? Sheesh!

I view my infrequent visits with my bitter MIL as akin to a visit to the dentist. Just get it over with and move on.
