[quote=Anonymous]My inlaws hated one of their other DILs.  Although I didn't like her, I encouraged my MIL to make peace.  The SIL and my BIL were having issues and he got everyone involved in his mess. My MIL is aware that I also didn't like SIL. I explained at the time that it would be a process and that we just needed to go with the flow and be nice to her etc. That was two weeks ago. My MIL called me today about going out every month together with her three DILs. I explained to her that although I'm all for getting along, I am taking baby steps. I don't want to be thrown into a get together each month with her as I already see her other times during the month already. I was shocked when my MIL flipped out over the phone and said that I was basically being divisive and pulling the family apart. I was extremely upset because for over a month I listened to my MIL bad mouth her and I was the voice of reason explaining to my MIL that she didn't need to treat her badly or be the reason her and my BIL end up separating. Now because I'm not wanting to see SIL on a monthly girl's night out, I'm wrong? Please help me with this.  I am nice to SIL, we text and most recently I even told my MIL I wanted to throw her a birthday party because I thought it would be nice to have one from our side of the family as her family resides outside of the State. What more can I do? I am sure the day will come when we can all hang out together on a monthly basis but now is not the time. I'm not sure what came over my MIL.  I even advised her that it would be okay periodically but not every month and even encouraged her to hang out with her alone. I am happy that she's working at her relationship with SIL, but why is she trying to now make me feel bad about not wanting to get together every month.  I'm doing my best. Right now I can only take her in doses. [/quote]
