[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When my MIL says some hurtful comment, I stop and look at her and ask "Why did you say such a hurtful thing? Did you know that it made me feel very bad". That's all I say. I don't fight or make a scene. I will however not let it go without saying the above if she makes a hurtful comment. I will do that even if company is present. It shames her and she has started treating me with politeness. It also shames her kids and her husband. She is not my mother and she is welcome to have a relationship with my DH and kids. I do not advocate on her behalf either.[/quote] I used your technique but it did not help. She'd just ignore me. DH had to limit my contact with her and I think we both are happier as a result. Still when I see her, I get my share of snarky remarks. [/quote]
