[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I get very anxious about offending people, yet I'm not easily offended.  I tend to worry that I'll say something gossip-y, controversial, or somehow offensive or rude.  I'm a people pleaser.

Yet, my MIL is so easily offended and has become very angry with me for seemingly innocuous, conversation-filler type conversations and perceived slights.  It's to the point that I have zero relationship with her and avoid her at all costs.

When my brother was married years ago, he and his fiancée kindly sent my ILs an invitation, but for whatever reason, did not invite my SIL who was a recent college grad and living with her parents.  My MIL went ballistic - called my DH to complain, told me how rude my brother was, called my brother and yes, wrangled an invitation for her daughter.

Being with such prickly people is beyond difficult!  Even at seemly casual, relaxed family get togethers at our house, my MIL raises her eyebrow at everything and I see her staring at me in a weird way.

Lordy, like people who barely know them are supposed to keep track of where everyone lives??!! What a PITA MIL!!!  MIL looking for something to complain about much?  SO predictable and tiresome.  And they wonder why they get a bad rap!

My MIL is a PITA too.  She insists on finding differences instead of similarities.  Which would be fine if she wasn't bitter and negative.  Ugh, draining.
