[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My MIL does the same thing.  She spent years manipulating every scenario so that we only spent time with her.  I got wise to it quickly.  It took a little time, but I put my foot down hard one holiday.  And, sadly for her, she really paid the price of her behavior.  She lives within a driveable distance for a weekend day, but we only see her for the length of a meal on major holidays.  I never say no to visiting her.  I just don’t plan to see her and my husband has no interest in making plans to see her himself.  We now see her more often since she requires more care.  And she still is the same wanting all of our time.  We took her out for Thanksgiving and she was upset that we wouldn’t stay all day so I just piped up and said, “I know it’s hard to remember that I have a family too, but I do so we are going to leave now so we can spend some time with them too.”  Responding to her directly and matter of factly shuts her down pretty quickly.

Yes, yes, we know. This is the 1,000th time you have posted about this. You yelled at her at the Thanksgiving table. We get it.

I'm convinced you're also the poster that said to her, "There's a list of people who get to see my vagina, and you are not on that list" when she wanted to be in the delivery room. Another 1000th anecdote.[/quote]
