[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am always amazed by the vitriol in MIL threads. It looks like some women, both MILs and DILs, have zero ability for introspection and critical thinking. Family relationships can get very emotional, but I agree that "she hates me for nothing" statement is immature and self-centered.

The question I always ask to myself is: Don't any of these women have sons? Or are they completely incapable of empathy? Seriously, degree of hatred towards MILs on these boards is nothing compared to what I see IRL. As if the fake poster is having a field day![/quote]

IRL, it is much harder to work out the issues, and certainly harder to voice the issues.  On DCUM, strangers can ask each other what they do, or would do, in their situation, if this happened to them.  The original question is aimed at DILs, obviously.  MILs are free to start their own threads, if they feel so inclined.

It seems that sometimes, if there is only one DIL in the family, and especially if there are daughters (DHs sisters) in the family, the other women may be insecure, unaccepting, cold, petulant, hard to please, exclusive, ungrateful and/or critical.  If it is hard for you to imagine, be grateful.  It was hard for me to imagine before I met my ILs.  [/quote]
