[quote=Anonymous]10:03, my FIL is here from another country for four months! OP, I think what you said to your mother-in-law was fine, but maybe your tone was sharper than it could be going forward. I totally get the reaching your limit and then being exasperated. But you can make your point and just try to say it a tiny bit more calmly; maybe sooner than the 10th time your MIL repeats a criticism. Your DH needs to be more understanding about how much repeated criticism from his mother he can expect other people to stomach. You should feel free to politely pushback as much as needed, and also think about what PP said regarding mental faculties. Maybe your mother-in-law really forgets that she repeats herself over and over.[/quote]
