[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As you said, this was directed at your husband and not you.  The woman made a mistake.  Haven’t you ever?  You’re being a baby.  [/quote]

Agreed - she felt hurt and offended that her son "shut her down," and was rude to him, but so was "shutting her down" in the first place.  This has nothing to do with OP's cooking, but the treatment that MIL feels she receives.[/quote]

Why do we care about the treatment MIL feels she receives more than the treatment OP receives? [/quote]

Multiple people have pointed out that MILs comment had nothing to do with OP. I could care less about how MIL is or isn’t treated, but if op wants to escalate the situation based on taking this particular comment personally, then she should own the fact that she is the one going nuclear.[/quote]

It’s not just the comment, IMO its also the fighting with her son while she’s a guest. This isn’t how functional people act when they’re guests in someones home and its absolutely rude to the hostess.[/quote]

If she is a “guest” and not his mother, then he was rude first to his “guest” and is a terrible host.[/quote]

Then she should be thrilled to find out she’s no longer welcome in the home of such a poor host and hostess.[/quote]
