Try a MIL who calls whenever she feels like it--if she's up at 5am then you should be up at 5am no matter how many times you've told her that you all try to sleep in until at least 7am on the weekends.

If she can't sleep and is awake at 1am then you should be awake at 1am and free to talk.

If she calls and you're in the middle of anything--dinner, guests over, a family activity--she expects you to stay on the phone with her for over an hour and that's to chit chat, not about anything that is urgent.

She's lonely and I'm sorry about that but she's also inconsiderate and self centered.  The phone calls can last up to 3 hours and it's not a give and take.  She wants to run through her day, what she had to eat at each meal, what is going on with her friends.  She doesn't want to hear about us or the kids and if you try to tell her something she'll cut you off after about 5 words.

Sorry to vent, OP.  Having a MIL who doesn't call would at least be a nice break.  I'd probably cave and call her but not for 2 or 3 weeks of bliss.[/quote]
