[quote=Anonymous]Count your lucky stars OP. My MIL used to only text me to get a hold of my husband since he isn't much of a texter. The real kicker is when she would text me she wouldn't even greet me in the text like by saying good morning for example or asking how things are going in my life. It would just be straight, "is Mike sleeping?" Or "did Mike get my text?"

I would always answer her right away because in my twisted mind I thought I had to. Until one day in my head I thought screw this I am not my MIL's personal secretary and I don't have to give her access to everything at the drop of a pen. She doesn't even seem to give a shit how I'm doing or what's going on in my life.

I finally grew a spine and snapped one day when she texted me to get ahold of my husband for the millionth time and I told her to please stop texting me to get a hold of her son as his phone works perfectly fine and it's up to him to text/call her back and I'm not his personal secretary or babysitter. I also added on at the end how you never bother to even ask how I am.

Of course she texted back arguing with me about how of course she doesn't see me as a secretary and I should know that by now.

Then the next day she called DH up to tattle on me about how I was so "mean" to her simply because I grew a spine and wasn't taking her bullshit anymore and setting boundaries for myself.

So the point of that story and tangent was to point out how you should be thankful that your MIL isn't like mine and always goes straight to DH and doesn't use you as her own personal secretary because it could be worse.[/quote]
