[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks for the update OP. I think you made the perfect choice. Your MIL is not crazy, she is older generation fed up by a bossy DIL and I understand her (although I am a pretty bossy environmentalist myself who doesn’t touch a straw, I can see how ridicule and self righteous that type of behavior can become).

Your SIL doesn’t have an allergy, she doesn’t believe she will burn in hell for eating meat, she is fine. Forget about it[/quote]

MIL may or may not be crazy but she's definitely evil. SIL may be an annoying and unlikable person but that doesn't make okay for MIL to knowingly and intentionally deceive her.

Btw, environmental vegetarianism is less legitimate than religious vegetarianism? That's bs. [/quote]

[b]But MIL sees her son go to her house and wolf down meat deceiving his own wife so really why is she going to think this is a big deal.[/b]  It's messed up all round.  The whole family sounds horrible.  The Dh is weak and lying, the SIL sounds obnoxious and the MIL is a bitch.  Yuck, yuck, yuck.[/quote]

NP. This is exactly the problem. SIL has a DH problem, not a MIL problem. Yeah, MIL is doing an awful thing (and as a vegetarian of many years, I'd be PISSED if my MIL was doing this), but it's the husband/BIL who isn't putting a stop to this.

OP, I would do as others have suggested and when SIL picks up the spoon to get Grandma's lovely mashed potatoes at Thanksgiving, say, "oh, I saw MIL put chicken broth in that." Boom, one problem solved. [/quote]

She has a both problem. This whole family sounds psychotic.[/quote]
