[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My MIL doesn't hate me, but I definitely rocked the boat when I came along and didn't just go along with her passive -aggressive behavior for the sake of "family peace." [/quote] +1 I, too, think MIL is threatened by me because I am so different from her. As if it is some kind of insult or personal affront to her, that I am so opposite in every way. I try to celebrate differences in people; that is what I was taught to do, and it is why I have some remarkable friends and family. In MIL's tiny world, "different" is "negative". In MIL's world, it is her way, it is about her, or forget it; especially if it is a wedding, funeral, birth - any kind of event about someone else. I really would like to get along with her, and have tried. It is just too much work. She's not a happy person, and I'm not a professional therapist by trade. [b]Funny, few or no MILs are chiming in. [/b]:) [/quote] Most of the responses so far have been DILs criticizing their MILs, and it is pretty obvious that any MILs who post are going to get attacked. Not to mention that the demographics of the board tend young enough that there probably aren't loads of people reading this whose kids are married. I know my mom and MIL don't look at forums like this.[/quote]
