[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - You have my sympathy. I read your last thread and thought some of the PPs were too harsh.

I think the PP that suggested you do not engage is spot on. She's not going to change. [b]And what is she going to do, get mad at you for ignoring her?[/b] She already is! Stop worrying what she thinks. and perhaps when she makes a rude comment you (or your children) say "wow! that was an unpleasant comment!"

Chin up. She's kooky[/quote]

Bolding and quoting for emphasis!  I'll tell you what she is going to do about being ignored - she'll consider that justification for all subsequent behavior she displays from now on!  And/or, you'll receive a very public dressing down from your MIL.  Similar embittered MIL/grandma here.

Agree that you can't engage.  Let the decision to host the event at your club be a firm commitment. Don't let her dissuade you or make you change your plans.  My MIL would simply host her own surprise party if she didn't get her way.  Yes, she would!

After the party is over, you'll need to tell your DH what happened.  You need him to stand up for you and run interference if possible.[/quote]
