[quote=Anonymous]Nothing about what you wrote would annoy me apart from the mess on the wall. I think that your busy parent life is exhausting you and making you less tolerant, not that your MIL is especially annoying. My MIL tells the same stories over and over, and I just smile and nod and exclaim. She perseverates on certain topics that she's clearly anxious about, and I reassure her again and again. She has different idea on raising kids, different ideas on gender roles, different ideas on so many things than I do, and that's fine. She has tics of speech too. But she's still lovable and deserves respect. She's old. Old people do lots of weird things. Your MIL is not rude. She's old. Now if you want stories of people being heinously rude, abusive and lacking in the elemental boundaries, I can tell you about my OWN MOTHER!!! [/quote]
