[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MIL says I expect her to cater to me. As background, MIL and I don't really have a relationship - my choice (she is not a nice person, to put it mildly).  I encourage DH and DC to have a relationship with MIL, and participate whenever possible.  I participate a couple times per year, when outsiders are involved (outsiders keep MIL more sane and MIL tends to put her best face forward if she thinks people are watching).  DH, like MIL, is very much into appearances (actually, the whole family is).

I am not sure how MIL could come to such a conclusion, since I do not talk to her very often, if at all, and have never once asked her for anything. We are two different people and MIL resents differences (actually, she takes differences personally - because its all about her), instead of embracing them.  [b]Should I ignore her statement to DH or say something?[/b] If anything, MIL expects me to cater to her, but I am over it, based on how she treats people.  [/quote]
You should say something.  To your husband.  Tell him not to relay hurtful and weird messages from his mom.  If she says something negative about you to him, he should tell his mom to stop, to address any issues directly with you, and otherwise keep it to himself.[/quote]
