[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My MIL definitely wants to call all the shots, and her husband and my DH are trained to fall in line with her. I used to be okay with this dynamic when I was weak early in our marriage, but two kids later I am a LOT less tolerant of her BS. This leads to us seeing her less.

If my husband had my back more, I wouldn't resist seeing her as much but I'm not cleaning my house and cooking for three days just to be bossed around by someone who my kids dont even like anyways![/quote]
Don't want to hijack, but I'm curious PP ---what was your DH's relationship like with his mother before you married?
I ask because I would be heartbroken if my grandchildren didn't like me. I'm a long way from having grandchildren, but these threads about awful MILs make me think I want to be a good one. I can't stand my MIL, but that's because she is mean to me and ignores my kids. I would never do that.
Serious question OP: What would you like your MIL to do differently? It sounds like you simply do not like her. How does your DH feel anout her? Do your kids like her? My kids have no relationship with their grandparents, and that makes all of us sad. [/quote]
