[quote=Anonymous]... By telling me horror stories of yours. My MIL is a piece of work, and is probably the only major issue in our marriage. I don't think she'll actually be happy in life unless I give her back her son (and also give her my children while I'm at it, to dote on her and give her the attention she craves). We see her every week, and it's never enough for her (every time she sees us, she tells us it's been 'forever' since she last saw us.) She's constanly concocting reasons why we need to get together more, of excuses why my husband needs to go over there to help her with something (that tactic used to work a lot more before, but my husband has caught on). She has no real friends (she talks $ht about all her friends), no husband, no pets, no job (she is comfortably retired), no family except for us.  She has made sure to tell me that I'm the lucky one in the family because I married into the family.  She probably would have been a great MIL if she just learned to keep her mouth shut, but the older she gets, the more she can't control it. She is a thorn in my life. Fortunately, my kids still love her and get excited about going to her place. I know the day will come where she turns them away too, like she's done with her many other grandkids (by peppering them with completely inappropriate questions that are none of her business and making them feel guilty for not visiting her.)  I don't understand how she raised such a wonderful man in my husband. It's like a strange math equation that has no answer.[/quote]
