[quote=Anonymous]A little background on my DH's family:
- Dad married 3 times, now to a wife several decades younger, had all kids and got married because of pregnancies (out of wedlock), got married in a small wedding with friends and didn't invite his own kids to the most recent one
- Mom married 2 times, only to DH's dad for 2 years, in and out of rehab for 25 years while raising young kids, would leave kids for up to 6months at a time to be with boyfriends from middle to high school, sober when kids were 25. Married his dad because she was pregnant (he was her boss). She also opened up about infidelity from both herself and DH's dad.

We dated for 2.5 years, got engaged at age 30, had kids, have been married 10 years...

Dad, step-mom and mom have all been extremely judgmental saying rude things to this day of the way we got married (rushing into things, they didn't know me enough despite us spending several weeks with them even though we are out of state, we eloped due to a serious family issue on my side). I just don't think they have a leg to stand to cast any judgement.

To this day, I get the rude and disappproving comments about how we did things. I would love to call them out on it but my DH would freak out if I so much as questioned their own wedding or life experience. Am I crazy for keeping quiet when they say this stuff? Would you ever pipe up and be like "MIL, tell me more about your big wedding ?" I feel like a doormat when they say this stuff to me but have tried keeping the peace. At the time time, I'm beyond annoyed I even have to deal with this nonsense. [/quote]
