[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm 62. I do not think I am weird or strange. Why are you so immature that you've decided to make such a large brush stroke encompassing everyone in a demographic? Did you put Hilary or Nancy Pelosi in that bag? Actresses like Glenn Close ? Or are they an exception. Do you generalize ideas from one or two examples? Would you like it if we generalized millennials this way(?)- becausecwe certainly could![/quote]

Yes, that's true. My MIL is the exact type of person that OP is talking about. Controlling, manipulative, unreasonable and we count the minutes until we can leave or take her to the airport. On the other hand, my Step MIL is AMAZING! So loving and supportive. Easy going. Just wants us to be happy. Lots of love and laughter around the house whenever she and FIL visit. We never want them to leave.

I have also met many other women who are in their early 60s and beyond who are wise and wonderful. They're secure in their own skin and approach life with an enlightened view, not ego based.

I don't know why I struggle so much with my MIL.[b] It's obviously a life lesson that I have to work through. [/b]But not all women are like that. [b]But I will never, ever understand what possesses my MIL to act the way she does![/b][/quote]
I feel the same way about my MIL. And it’s not just ME she treats this way; she treats many other people the same. I believe the life lesson she’s there to teach me is that she’s the kind of person I never want to become. Or at least I look at it that way. I see her act a certain way or say a certain thing and file it away, so thankful that I don’t act that way, vowing to never forget, and never act that way myself. [/quote]
