[quote=Anonymous]What I find really interesting, and frankly disappointing, about this thread is that a lot of you don’t seem to understand the difference between well-meant (but annoying) unsolicited advice, and direct insults. Asking nosy questions about when someone will return to work, or how they spend their days? That’s one thing, if the person doing the poking is generally well-meaning and respectful. Straight-up insults such as using the word “sad-sack,” used as “a joke” or not? That’s another thing entirely. And I think we all know that. Do better, really. Do better than telling people it’s OK when other people insult them. It’s not. It’s not OK, and OP is well within her rights to tell MIL that if she can’t be civil, she can stay out of OP’s house and presence until she can be civil.[/quote]
