[quote=Anonymous]If yes, how do you deal with it?
Is it a sign of mental illness?

My MIL constantly changes stories and invents things to avoid responsibility and just stir things up.

Examples:

1. She had someone come in do deep cleaning of the house, including window cleaning. One room in the house is used for our kids to sleep over and play. She did not tell the cleaner to clean the windows in that room. When questioned about it she said that she thinks she is prohibited from going to that room. Utter lie. She goes into it regularly and no one ever told her not to use it.

2. She wanted to buy something for DC and we agreed on what she should buy. She turned up with a wrong brand/model that I told her previously we didn't want when considering options. She said that she mentioned it to me before buying it. Total lie, she never called me about it otherwise I would have told her not to buy it.

3. We agreed on a weekend meal together where she would make one part of the meal and me another part of the meal. The day of she invented some kind of food aversion that I never heard her mention before. I ended up making a meal for the entire family.

4. Last weekend she told me how she would like to stay at home this week and not go to work because she just feels like having time to herself and sipping coffee. Monday she invented some vertigo disease and scared FIL during night so she wouldn't go to work when all she had to do is call in and not go to work.

No, she does not have dementia. She is very astute in everything that suits her.  What gives? How do I deal with this? Thanks.
