[quote=Anonymous]DH and I called his very socially awkward sister for her birthday last night. Her nervous tics started the moment she picked up the phone: “Hiiiiiiiii? heh heh. Just leaving dinner. ha. heh heh.” We can’t control other people, only ourselves. You could try saying something like “I don’t think it’s funny” if MiL chortles at something really inappropriate. Still, unless she identifies the underlying cause —social anxiety, for example— and gets treatment of her own volition, this is just who she is and what she does. Know this and plan around it by not taking her places where it could be really insulting and reducing the lengths of your visits if it’s driving you around the bend.[/quote]
