[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My in laws are mostly great, but this year something happened that makes me scratch my head.

My mother died several months ago.  The in laws knew that I was close to my mother.  I didn't think too much about it when they didn't contact me at the time of her death or consider coming to her funeral (they don't live close by; I would have been surprised if they came).  But I have seen them twice since she died and they have not said a word about her death, even after my mother came up in passing in conversation.

I don't get it.[/quote]

That is horrible. They no longer deserve to called "mostly great." What does your husband say about this?![/quote]

My MIL did something similar many years ago, and it is something I still look back on and resent.  My mom was already deceased when I met my now-DH, and then my dad passed away about four years into our relationship (we'd only been married for two years, but i had known his family for four years at that point).  My dad died in early december, and DH and I had been planning to spend christmas with him that year.  My MIL never expressed any condolences, and actually said something about how at least now we could spend the holidays with her.  We did spend that christmas with her, and it was horrible - I was still sad and a bit in shock over my fathers sudden death, she complained about my lack of holiday spirit, and I haven't been back at her home for the holidays in eight years.

Again, this is horrible. What a nightmare. I am so sorry! How did you not lash out?! [b]I almost think a lot of DIL's write their MIL's permission slips for bad behavior...though good for you for avoiding going back to her house.[/b][/quote]
