[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - DH is calling her tonight when he gets home and will be talking to her. This is a difficult situation - some of you make it sound so easy, but the reality is, she is his mother and as easy as it is to say online to turn her away at the door, the reality is much more difficult.

We will see what goes on tonight during the phone call. [/quote]

Actually sweetie, we do know. From experience. And what we know, from experience, is that being a pushover once makes it HARDER going forward. So we are trying to spare you that. From lived experience. You are welcome.[/quote]

Your message is legit but you lose points for being a rude b for no reason. [/quote]

OP went out of her way to act like “oh it’s easy for you to say that” and discount our lived experience. She pulled the “reality” card. She’s dismissing our experience as if it wasn’t hard-earned. That is where the rudeness started. The ASSumption that we don’t know what we’re talking about is rude.[/quote]

Oh please. Don't be a child. The OP wasn't dismissing your lived experience but pointing out that it IS difficult. No one is assuming you don't know what you're talking about. You should consider working on how personally you take things online, because the passive-aggressive "actually sweetie" attitude is what's making you look bad here, not your "lived experience."

The situation is difficult exactly because the MIL has ignored all soft communication and is forcing a confrontational conversation. She is banking on OP and her husband being more motivated to avoid that conversation than they are to avoid houseguests. Being called out like that is not fun or easy and it never feels good to be disrespected by family.[/quote]
