[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is possible. With technology like phone bugs and nanny cams, it is absolutely possible.

I wouldn’t do the “let’s go to Mexico” thing, because that’s outlandish. Think of something else, like “Don’t tell grandma, but we won’t be doing Christmas with her anymore because she was rude to me.”

It’s harmless if she’s not listening, and it’s helpful if she is. Set a trap. Write an email to yourself and DD and send it ahead of time so there is a time stamp: “On August 1, Carla and Larla decided to play a prank on Mary to see if she’s listening to our conversations.” Describe in detail what you will do and send the email to yourselves so there is a time stamp.[/quote]

What? And cause unnecessary family drama? Poor advice. [/quote]

Excuse me? If MIL has bugged their house/devices, that is not “harmless” and it needs to be discovered and addressed and stopped. Now.

If MIL isn’t listening, nothing will come of it. Do you get it?[/quote]

You think MIL is going to confront OP when OP has said she’s rude? She’d likely say nothing, be peeved and keep listening![/quote]

Babe, I’ll go slow so you can keep up: this was an EXAMPLE of something OP could set up that would be extreme enough to provoke a reaction, but not totally over-the-top unbelievable, like fleeing to Mexico. OP will know what buttons to push. [/quote]

What reaction do you think the passive aggression MIL will express?[/quote]
