[quote=Anonymous]My MIL has been in town, and I am at my limit.  Among many other judgy things, she is at her core, the least interesting person I have ever met.  Other than raising some very devoted kids, she has done nothing with her life and blames all ills on her very nice husband.  She tells long, rambling stories about other people's lives.  She behaves like she just emerged from a cave after 40 years.  Everything is met with a "that's different."  (No, it's actually not different, woman.  What you are remarking on is, in fact, very common in modern life).  She believes that I should have a homemade meal on the table every night, even though DH works from home, and I commute 45 mins.  Oh, and I am the primary earner, but she remarks about my job like it's a cute hobby.

I am most baffled by how my husband, with vast interests and wanderlust and kindness and  a million other wonderful characteristics, was raised by this woman and turned out the way he did.  Why is it so common to love our spouses and hate our in-laws?[/quote]
