[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is purely a vent. Thank the lord she’ll be leaving on Sunday.

Just the latest example of how she makes everything about her: we are looking to adopt a puppy. We found out we can move to the next step in the adoption process and are excited. It would be a lab puppy. Her response? “Oh you know I don’t like those big dogs. (BIL) has those two goldens and I hate it. Well, if I don’t like your dog, I just won’t visit.”

I wanted to just say, “great, then don’t visit!”

Maybe I should have said that.[/quote]

You have a very low threshold for 'driving someone insane'   She is just making conversation.  You are making a mountain out of a molehill[/quote]

I could go ahead and list easily two dozen more examples. She has an incredible ability to make everything into a pity party about her. [/quote]

oh yes the terrible MIL.  That is so new!  Trust me, you will drive your kids' spouse crazy too![/quote]

Well, one thing I won’t do is complain to my son about his unavoidable travel during my visit, saying “I forget you even live in this house. I can’t depend on you for anything.” [/quote]

I am sure you will do something to drive your DIL crazy.[/quote]

I’m sure I will, but my MIL gives me a lot of opportunities to learn what not to do.[/quote]
