[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am with DH on this one. You were disrespectful.

You admitted you lost your temper and raised your voice at his mother, in front of other people.[b] I am sure both your husband and his mother were embarrassed. [/b]

She was not trying to do something harmful or hateful, she was just trying to take photos of her grandchildren.

It may have been annoying but I don't think barking/yelling or "elevating" your voice and storming away was warranted.  [/quote]

What about OP being embarrassed that her MIL came backstage? What about the high school volunteer who was embarrassed that an older woman was being so entitled and disrespectful to her in front of the children?

And I would bet that this isn’t the first time OP has been embarrassed by overbearing, rude inlaws. OP, the solution is marriage counseling. You need help setting boundaries and standing up for yourself.

+100. Guaranteed this woman behaves this way because she’s used to bullying everyone into her way by acting like rules don’t apply to her. If I were OP, I would have been stressed that my child was going to have 4 people at the event when other families were only allowed 2. I would have been stressed out having to explain how and why they were there for anyone who raises eyebrows. These grandparents are jerks. [/quote]
