[quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't jump to dementia so fast - could be, but also could be other things. I personally think the MIL-DIL relationship has got to be one of the hardest in the world, and in many countries the MIL is assumed to be a witch - horrible to DIL. Seems in this country we assume everybody should just be friends. If you think of a MIL as very invested in how she raised her children, and has strong hopes that the son's new family will put her at the center, there is so much room for disappointment and resentment. It may be the early "nice" phase before everyone is disappointed that may be the anomaly. Doesn't mean she should be nasty, but may be more normal than you think. (I was lucky, my MIL and FIL made a pact they would stay out of their son's and my business. They did this in reaction to their resentment at their own MIL's complaining and meddling. My ILs stuck to it. But I think that is really unusual.)[/quote]
