[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In all this, I wonder what DH's opinion is. [b]It doesn't sound like OP is ever going back to work, and taking time to decompress is just a way of saying she's done. [/b]Has DH actually discussed this with his mom and she's being the bad guy for him? Where does their retirement savings stand? 529s? And God forbid if the ILs helped fund 529s or anything else for them if now DIL is not working.

Is it any of MIL's business? No. But there is basically some information missing here.[/quote]
I agree. Lol @ OP calling it "Decompressing" and not working "right now". She can't even own her situation and tries to minimize it.

Also to point out: She worked all the time and values that in a person so I imagine [b]my choosing not to work is foreign and lazy for her to comprehend.[/b]

This is really it. She just cant comprehend it. [/quote]

I think you're reading a lot into this situation. She can't even "own" her situation! Why does anyone need to? LIVE AND LET LIVE BAYBEEEEEEE[/quote]
She literally stewed about this and then sent a nasty email to MIL LOL
Shes very insecure about it. Women who are happy with their choices dont do that. Dont feel the need to do that. Shes lying to herself and an anon forum even in her OP. It's really sad, because she has a great situation IMO. [/quote]

Hi! I'm the OP and feel good about my choice, but not great about someone calling me a sadsack. It was inappropriate and has nothing to do with how I feel about not working. [/quote]
Do you? Why did you get so defensive then? Why did you stew over it and send an email much later? Why are you still "fuming"? 
If you felt secure this would be water off a ducks back. Sorry but your reaction and the way you phrase your OP say otherwise. [/quote]

Don’t listen to these fools, OP.  DCUM is not known to attract those with social acumen (or human emotions).

I wouldn’t have written in the email.  Instead I would have given some flippant reply about stringing along my unemployment until DH’s inheritance comes through, so she’d better keep working and saving because I have champagne taste, or something along those lines.[/quote]
At least some of us can read. MIL is retired. [/quote]

Oh, well in that case she should get her own a$$ back to work and stop being such a layabout.  See how easy that was?  Doesn’t change the overall point of the reply, ya dummy.

But thanks for proving my point that most on DCUM are idiots with zero social skills!  (Yes, I am including you with your stupid “gotcha!” moment.)[/quote]
You think reading the OP is a "gotcha"? Do you know how forums work?[/quote]

You are clearly a lawyer with zero social skills.  In *normal* conversations humans determine the “point” other humans are getting at and go from there.  They don’t quibble over a single word choice (particularly if this word choice is irrelevant to “the point”) and then try to change the argument to center on said word choice.

So once again, I think you are a complete idiot (albeit with excellent ability to read and recall words, but subpar comprehension) and the fact that you are dwelling on this proves it.[/quote]

Agree.
But ODD people like to get sidetracked on tone and diction, instead of staying on topic or answering the question at hand. [/quote]
