[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When my MIL says some hurtful comment, I stop and look at her and ask "Why did you say such a hurtful thing? Did you know that it made me feel very bad". That's all I say. I don't fight or make a scene. I will however not let it go without saying the above if she makes a hurtful comment. I will do that even if company is present.

It shames her and she has started treating me with politeness. It also shames her kids and her husband. She is not my mother and she is welcome to have a relationship with my DH and kids. I do not advocate on her behalf either.[/quote]

I wish I knew you IRL.  Everyone I know thinks they have the worst (fill in the blank with bad habit here) MIL; but when MILs are downright mean spirited, it is indeed the worst! Thanks for your awesome post, seriously.

My MIL does not get excited about anything, except maybe one lame a^^ once a year thing that she plans, that everyone hates but feels obligated to attend.  If she is not depressed, I don't know who is.  It is difficult to be around.   I really like your retort, and have been looking for something like this for years, so thank you.  Some people need to be brought down a few pegs.  [/quote]
