[quote=Anonymous]Your MIL is probably self involved (only her daughters "count")  and MIL involves the sons without wives and children *before* the sons with wives and children *just to make a point*.  It is immature, insecure, obvious, gauche and annoying, OP.

My MIL is the same mold.  Everyone knows it.  When she invites peripheral family or peripheral friends into the mix, they can't believe their eyes, and they eventually ask us what her problem is; and seem to think it is flat out blatant jealousy.  Upon reflection, after several years and several slights, I finally admitted they might be right.

MIL resents everything about us.  We can be as kind as can be, but it only makes it worse.  MIL is a bully; a wolf in sheep's clothing.

Thankfully, my family is warm, welcoming, inclusive, and secure in that our family does not imaginarily "threaten" them  in some way, such that they would ever take us as a personal affront (!!!).

Find positive people, and spend time with them.  Your and my MIL types have an agenda.  Don't be on their radar, and they will have to pick another target.

Believe me when I tell you, you are *not* missing anything.
