[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stop stressing about managing your reputation. It's not worth the stress. Anyone worthwhile must know how she is

Be cordial to MIL like you would a neighbor.[/quote]

OP here.  Great idea - we will bring our awesome neighbors to offset any MIL negativity :) Overseas party!

It's actually not about anyone's reputation, especially mine.  I have never met these people before, and probably will never see them again, so I have no reputation to manage.

ITA anyone worthwhile definitely knows how she is, which is why everyone sort of "clears a circle" in her presence.  I don't react, so she keeps poking. How would you describe someone like that - passive aggressive and bleak, I suppose. Let's just say I don't have a lot in common with her, and she sees it as an insult (or something, one can only imagine) - so she keeps poking.  How on earth is everything about her, I wonder?

Anyway, I would like to deflect and keep her at a distance.  It is easy most times, but during forced togetherness, she really takes issue with me, as if I am in her line of sight. Such as we tell our children: "you don't have to like (whomever), but you do have to be nice".  [/quote]
