[quote=Anonymous]I hate that my mom and my MIL talk at all. I wish they never communicated. My mom secretly HATES my MIL. She can't stand her but she pretends to. My MIL is clueless about it. They never talked when we were dating.

They will talk and then somehow I feel like it always ends up biting us. My mom will tell my MIL things I told her confidentially and then play dumb that she didn't know she couldn't tell her or that she didn't know what to say when my MIL asked so she felt obligated to tell her. I mainly resort to not sharing things with my mom but in general I feel like I should be able to share things with my mom without sharing them with my MIL or sharing them on my terms with MIL. (Yes, I ask my mom to not tell her but she generally ignores it which is why I tell her so little now) 
My MIL will tell my mom about something going on with my IL family and then my mom will be mad at me that she had to hear it from my MIL and not from me. It is things that don't affect her and she doesn't talk to anyone else in my IL family so it's not like she should be upset that Aunt Susie had minor surgery and she didn't know about it. It's none of your damn business and it doesn't matter!

UGH I wish they would just not talk. My mom only talks to her so she can get whatever gossip my MIL is spewing and I am sure because she knows it annoys me. My MIL only talks to my mom because she likes to hear herself talk and there are never enough people to share you information with. For awhile my MIL was calling my mom to get information about my DH and I because she just didn't want to ask us (why, I don't know???) which was really irritating. My DH asked my MIL to end that and I think it has either stopped or slowed down to some extent.

I also have issues with my mom. And I don't really want or need my MIL to know about it. If they never talked, she would never know about it but because they do she picks up on it and I know she is gossiping about it to the whole family. I am so tired of my mom getting mad about something she heard from my MIL or my MIL gossiping a half truth of information.[/quote]
