[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All the drinking games and bingos are silly, imho. Taking kids and rushing out every time FIL says something sounds exhausting.

I like civil and direct approach. I would ask FIL to come talk to me in a separate room and say “Hey, Bill, I noticed that every time I say something you disagree/put me down/say rude things… Have you noticed that? I’d like to ask you to be nice and civil to me. I hope you will make an effort. Thanks for listening.

I would have my husband have a similar follow up discussion with him.

If he does not change, I would calmly and nicely (no whining or crying) explain to FIL, MIl and husband all at the same time that you feel the FIL has been rude, and you’d like to be treated respectfully, like he would an important client

If that does not help, I would minimize contact. Life is too short for this BS. [/quote]

File this under "DCUM scripts I would never use"

I don't know why you're telling OP "no whining or crying." OP doesn't strike me as a whiner.[/quote]

This is a good script. You'd be surprised how speaking to someone directly can change that person's outward attitude to you.

Nobody called the OP a whiner. [/quote]
