[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do not like my MIL for many, many reasons. Yet, I try to remain civil to her, and include her on outings with the kids. They live 10 minutes away from us. I need some advice - [b]why do I even need to do this? [/b]Why do I need to suck it up and take her rude, self-centered comments (as DH suggests)? DH is unwilling to say anything to her when she makes her rude comments because "she will never change". Someone please set me straight and remind me why I must have a relationship with her at all. And BTW, she's not helpful or fun with the kids. [/quote] Because she is your children's grandmother, and they deserve to form their own relationship with her without being prejudiced by your bitterness, pettiness, or other ill emotions.[/quote] +1. Stand up for outright rude comments, ignore the petty, passive aggressive comments and move forward. Vow to be a better MIL and Grandmother. [/quote]
