[quote=Anonymous]I often see people respond to posts about IL issues with something along the lines of "Why are you involved at all? Let your spouse handle it." Certainly, sometimes that is the right answer. I myself have on occasion said to my spouse, "You need to deal with your mother." But why is it that some people think it is ALWAYS the right answer? My MIL is a person in my life. She is in my spouse's life and in my kids' lives. While she can be extraordinarily frustrating and intrusive, she is somebody that I have a relationship with, my own. Why should I not raise it with her directly if she has done something to offend/upset me? I do that with everyone else in my life. Now, if I literally did not want to have any personal relationship with her at all, did not want her "in my life" it would make sense. But assuming I do... Genuinely curious about this approach to ILs. [/quote]
