[quote=Anonymous]Does she attempt to converse with you and you brush it off? Or are you just avoiding making the effort to go chat with her? I avoid my MIL generally at gatherings. I am polite, ask how she's doing etc. But other than that, I do not initiate any conversation. If she does, I'm happy to respond, but I don't seek her out. She's a insecure, bitter woman who loves to keep score, so I just felt my openness was being used against me. So I closed up and remain tightly guarded. She noticed the shift and hurls occasional jabs at me or my husband, but I remain polite, back up my husband when he stands up for us, and don't engage. I guess all that is to say: don't engage. If she's noticed, that's really her problem. She can't force you to be friendly and chatty with her. Just don't ever tell her the reason why. It is not worth getting into a tit-for-tat argument about how she favors SIL. Let her favor SIL, it takes her off your back.[/quote]
