[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP yet again....while I'm on a roll...another thing that annoys me is if anything didn't go as they hoped with us it is because we are ungrateful and selfish, but if anything doesn't go as planned with other people's kids it's because the parents were bad parents.[/quote]

Hey OP, this is 14:02. This is a lot like my ILs. They love to find fault with others, particularly their friends whose son has had several DUIs, resulting in jail time. They just love to trash their friends - if they had only given their son more attention as a child he wouldn't have ended up in jail... As for DH and SIL, everything is someone else's fault. DH applied for a job and didn't get it - recruiter must've been prejudiced against DH's last name...

I've posted about MIL on here before for other things, and best advice I've gotten is to figure out how to ignore her and move on. Also, give her as little info as possible so she doesn't have ammunition for her crazy stories. That was last spring and I've been working on it. It's really, really hard, but I'm starting to get there. Of course the downside is that now she tells DH how much I "hate" her because I don't tell her stuff anymore.[/quote]
