[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I could not stand my mother-in-law until I changed what I did. Other people do not change and for the most part get worse.

I used to go with my wife or stick around when mother-in-law visited.  Now I make sure to make myself scarce or have something to do when she is around.  She visits 2-3 times a month and I wash car, cut grass, household projects, pay bills and just about anything but hang around when she is around. When wife goes to her house with the kids, I always have something to do (even if it just taking a nap or hitting the gym).

Funny thing is I started this about 5 years ago and it has worked great.  I get all my [b]honey-dos [/b]done and don't have to deal with the old bird. When MIL is done with visit, I have more time to do things with wife and kids.  Plus my house has never been so clean / up-to-date. I was once asked by her why I don't seem to have time to visit with her and I just responded that I have a family, 2 kids and a dog and the work never seems to stop.  MIL now seems to like me more than before as I am always busy doing something.

Please don't ever use this phrase again. It's nails on the chalk board and you sound like an idiot.  [/quote]
