[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This past week I’ve visited with three of my old friends while back home. Their parents are so fun and chill. We sat around with a bottle of wine by the fire or at the kitchen island, just chit chatting, laughing, talking about nothing. My friends’ husbands seem to fit in perfectly, so much harmony.

Then there’s my MIL, who (even in front of company like this) has to make everything difficult. No matter the person or the occasion (like sipping wine and sharing basic conversation) has to have drama and this awkward cloud hanging overhead. Every topic triggers her somehow. She has strong opinions on everything.

Why is it so hard for her (people like her) to just happily exist? Why must there always be drama? I dream of having a fun, chill MIL who makes it easy to want to be with her. I’m sad I will never have that. [/quote]

I’m always wistful for those easy family relationships too. So fun, warm and just easy. What does your MIL say ? Does she get easily offended? One of my extended family members will get easily offended and then will shut down and sulk the whole day. It really throws me off and makes me anxious. [/quote]
