[quote=Anonymous]The very first time I met MIL DH and I had been dating for six months and we were madly in love. She pulled me aside to verify my relationship history, then told me that she didn’t think I’d be a good fit for DH… fast forward 15 years, DH and I are still very happy but MIL never misses a chance to comment, criticize or judge our family.
Initially she would call me to say that she disagreed with something, for example details of our wedding. I listened but essentially ignored her. 
Then she tried a different tactic, she’d call and say that DH was unhappy as he never wanted me to get pregnant for a third child, or he didn’t want me to stop working. I spoke to DH who called her on this crap and I also dramatically reduced my exposure to her. 
Next she started to complain to DHs nieces or to FIL that I never invited her to our home, now as my kids are getting older she’s saying similar stuff to them. 
With covid we were able to keep a lot of distance from them thankfully. While DH loves his parents he doesn’t enjoy spending time with them and I’ve stopped communicating altogether after MIL made some mean comments about my DD on a family zoom last year. 
We don’t live close to them and they’ve never made any effort to come to us, everything always has to be on their terms.

I’m much happier as a result but I wonder if I should try again or just leave it. 
I know they wont be around forever, at the same time they’re not my parents
