[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] OP, she is MIL, and what I have learned are many MILs. As they get older, they sit about playing bridge together and complain about their youthful, vivacious, DILs. It's what they do. Heck, my MIL will attack me during funerals, weddings, births, you name it - she has no boundaries, whatsoever. Point is, you are not alone. You do not need to answer to this woman. You will never do right by her. If you wait for her to actually be (not talk about - actually "be") happy, inclusive, "live and let live", supportive, helpful, complimentary, anything positive really - it is not going to happen. It is not who she is. She is happier trying to one up you, no matter if it is subtle or not. She is miserable, you are not going to change that. Frankly, I think she is bitter and depressed. You are not her scapegoat! You need to leave her out of any plans. If she wants to attend with a smile on her face, fine. If not, she can stay home by herself and complain some more. She is not your problem. [/quote] "OP, she is my MIL..." is what I meant to write. [/quote]
