[quote=Anonymous]My mom had a really difficult MIL. She was old school German and very quick with criticism and stingy with affection. She was stubborn as a mule too. Watching my mother navigate that relationship taught me an enormous amount about how to deal with difficult people. If you can't manage it with time spent apart, try doing what someone else suggested and using it as a way to teach your children how to be polite and respectful while not being a doormat. Of course that's easier in small doses. My MIL drives me batty too. I try to send my DH alone for some things and that helps a lot. I also spend a lot of time mulling over her positive traits and telling myself that she will not change. Good luck, it's hard.[/quote]
