[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just know there are enough DILs around that feel your pain![/quote]

What pain - the pain of not having sufficient social skills to manage a situation that arises during a family meal out?  OP, drop the condescension and get creative!

I'm wondering if this thread is real or not.[/quote]

I'm not the Op but I believe this thread is real. I am "that DIL" too and I always will be no matter how tactful I try to be. Some people are just stupid and it sounds like OP's MIL falls in that group (who would possibly think it's okay to write on a table??? in a restaurant???).  I have a stupid MIL too (she apparently had a smart mother and husband but they have been dead for many years so she's on her own now). Even if op had nicely suggested drawing on paper, op would have been wrong b/c her MIL will always think she is right and OP is wrong.[/quote]

I'm not the OP, either, but I'm always struck by the people in this forum who aren't able to see and/or understand that most of the time, people asking advice here aren't asking because of one or a couple of irritating instances, but because of having to deal with repeated stupidity and disrespect.[/quote]
