[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mother hates my sister-in-law because:

1.  although she converted, she's not "really" Jewish
2.  she is very extroverted and we come from introverted people, so my mother views her as vain. SIL was raised that when she walks into a room, everyone wants to hear what she has to say and thinks, while we were raised to never attract any attention to ourselves
3. SIL doesn't seek out my mother's advice and doesn't take the advice that is given
4. SIL has a lot of different ways of doing things than our family. Many of them are better, and some are simply just different. To my mother though, they're wrong
5. My mom believes my SIL taught my brother to be a snob and elitist (that one's true). [/quote]

Mother in laws should not give unsolicited advice, and they should not expect to be asked for advice[/quote]

Yes, well. My mom has a fantasy that everything in her life is the stereotype. So she really wants my SIL to call her for advice to ask what her new husband likes to eat for dinner so my mother can give some special recipe (of course leaving out an ingredient or two so my mom's will always taste better). My mother will never change. It's sad, but we all (including my father) just work around her. We yes her to her face, and then do whatever we're going to do.[/quote]
