[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You did a bad job at gray rocking her and now you have to start from scratch. Sorry.[/quote]

This. Pushy, gossipy jerks looove drama. She will rewrite whatever was said in her head. She’s love bombing you now. When your guard goes down her claws will come back out. [/quote]

I am the poster who said you didn’t win.  This is exactly why.  This interaction, which makes you look bad on its face, will be distorted and expanded and spread all over kingdom come, and the worst part now is there will be a kernel of truth.  Ugh.[/quote]

OP here. I have decided you know what? I don’t respect people who gossip, blame others for other people’s decisions, and deliberately try to gossip and triangulate against “outsiders.” Sure, I threw her a bone, and may she long enjoy gnawing on it. I no longer care to have her good opinion or the good opinion of anyone who would take her gossip at face value.

My husband’s brother, his wife, and their kids like me. My husband’s aunt and her son like me. My husband’s other extended family members like me. So if MIL and FIL don’t like me, that’s OK. Honest communication is clearly not productive, so back to gray rock and Cheerful Dumb DIL for me.

Thank you all for sharing your perspective and advice.[/quote]
