[quote=Anonymous]Learn not to care about her hurt feelings. My MIL used to call me at work to chat, in the early days of my marriage, until my husband explained that I had a JOB, and was just as busy as he (she never called him at his workplace!). This is the moment when your husband reiterates, firmly, that his modern family is extremely busy and that it's now considered gauche to drop by unannounced, because it throws off a finely tuned schedule that has to run like clockwork otherwise everyone's late for all their work/school/activities, dinner is late and meltdowns happen. And if she has tantrums and complains about you to everyone... well then, that's HER problem. You don't care.[/quote]
