[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you- to answer a few questions...no its her others sons wife. When I said "we" I really meant me ad my kids:)

When I first told her I was going to do this, she was lukewarm and said I dont know if X would want such a fuss, which is just the opposite as he LOVES people and has tons of friends so its the perfect way to ring in this birthday. But I told her I though he would like it and I was going to go ahead in the planning.

When my D left the room to change out of her dress I said "wow that was  harsh, she loves that dress' to which she replied I believe in honesty and I really think she could do better. Yep thats how blunt she is with everything.

I don't think I am going to call (good advice) if she calls me i will say oh I though I made it clear I already decided to do it at the club, and then maybe (if I am feeling nice haha) say but if you would like to help me out with x,y,z....then you are most welcome. Something along that line, though I know I will be met with another comment to shoot it down.

Lastly her relationship with my H? Well he was her golden child. The one who did everything right (almost). Great student, athlete, went to ivy league school, great profession, well  liked, etc....so shes always really been in awe of him somewhat. To her credit, in his successes he is a lot like her, very driven and overall achieved what they set to do. BUT he is a really nice guy and I think that makes him even  more alluring...it that makes sense. So its complicated I think she does like me but resents me at the same time......[/quote]
I married a golden child too. My MIL hates me enough that she's taking it out on him. We take the approach of never bring alone with her. She's not nasty when she wants to impress whoever else is around. [/quote]
