[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]O0, have you ever called your mom out about her behavior. By ignoring it, in some days, you are telling her there are no consequences for her being awful.

It’s time to put your big girl pants are and be direct.

“Mom, when you are rude to Madge, I feel sad that our family gathering isn’t civil. You are welcome to come to Larla’s recital, but if you can’t be nice, we are not going to invite you the next time. You can still come and spend time with us, but we are not going to put Madge and Bill in an uncomfortable place if you aren’t able to be civil.”[/quote]
Yep. She is not going to change without consequences.

If roles were reversed, DCUM would absolutely say you have a husband problem.  It is unfair to your husband and in laws. [/quote]

OP here. You are right on what I should do. Honestly though, she’s not someone I can have a reasonable conversation with so I don’t think she will change regardless. I think it will make her hate them more. I definitely feel stuck between a rock and a hard place.[/quote]
