[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As is almost always the way in threads started by petulant MILs, OP hasn't been back to clarify any points or thank people for their input.  :roll: [/quote]

Because, as in most of these threads, she wasn’t told what she wanted to hear.[/quote]

Or it’s a troll trying to stir the “bad MIL” pot. That was my first take. [/quote]

Are you a MIL? There's at least one person who posts regularly about how hard MILs have it. And maybe some of them do, but mostly we have MILs who cannot put on their "Pity me" sash and tiara fast enough.

OP's "so awful" is a classic move for people who aren't willing to listen to any other perspectives. Think of those guys who, asked to pull their weight around the house, immediately ask something like, "Oh, I guess I'm just nothing but a burden to you and I can't do anything right anyway."

Great approach if you want to someone to stop talking to you entirely. Then you can claim you don't know what you did wrong, but you guess husbands/MILs/whoever are just there to be used and discarded unless you're willing to be a total doormat. [/quote]

Not a MIL and don’t have one (she died young). The post just seems trollish to me based on how it’s written and the plot.[/quote]
