[quote=Anonymous]I've had an ok relationship with my IL's over the years. I've found my MIL to be self-centered and a little arrogant, but over the years, I've learned to deal with her shenanigans.

My grandmother passed away last week. It wasn't a total surprise as she had been ill for a while, but she got very sick very quickly at the end. IL's decided to come to the funeral, which I appreciated, as it was a two hour drive on a weekday. I didn't really interact with them much at the funeral, but thanked them briefly before they left.

I'm in a group text thread with all of the IL's within our immediate family (MIL, FIL, DH's brothers and their wives) A few days after the funeral, MIL sends a selfie of her and FIL at the funeral to the group with the text "most recent picture of your happy to be aging parents/in-laws! Beats the alternative"

When I saw this text, I felt red with anger. How little tact/social awareness do you have to have to take a selfie at a funeral? And what kind of message is she trying to send with the text itself? DH is mildly annoyed with it, but is kind of shrugging it off as "this is just how she is" and "at least she didn't post it on social media or something." Am I right to be furious over this? Should I say something to her? [/quote]
