[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One simple solution: Stop being the one to communicate with her. Let DH do it, and tell him. He gets to make gift suggestions, invite to school concerts, send cards, whatever else. Either she will behave for him, or he will have to deal with the bad behavior himself. Let him bring the kids to visit them while you do something else. But make the ILs not your problem for the most part.[/quote] Time to initiate, "don't ask, don't tell" with your MIL. Don't share worries, concerns, decisions or really anything with her. Your DH can extend invitations, make arrangements, provide wish lists. If your DH is anything like mine, your MIL will not hear about the minutiae in your life. Also, agree w/ your DH to not tell your MIL certain things; decide what info you want kept private. [/quote]
