[quote=Anonymous]I love my in-laws.  They are great parents and super-great grandparents.  However, my MIL is SOOOOOO passive-aggressive.  I know she wishes I would include her on every shopping trip or call her about some random thing that the kids have done.  But, I'm not the type.  My mom and I don't even have that kind of relationship!  I enjoy talking to her but it's hard to hide the fact that I don't care what her neighbors are doing or what Oprah is doing, etc...  I try to bring dishes to family dinners and they get brushed aside.  I try to clean the kitchen after she cooks but I get told I'm just the "cleanest person she knows" because I rinse dishes before I put them in the dishwasher.  I use too many paper towels and apparently don't know how to fold laundry.  She doesn't tell me this, of course, she just makes "helpful" remarks.  Then, when I appear frustrated, she wonders why I get upset so easily.  UGH!  Oh well, I put my foot down this year and we are spending Christmas at our own home.  YAY!!![/quote]
