[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That is exactly what my MIL has imposed on us. She made some condescending speech years ago about how teaching children patience should be a priority. (Duh!) With 18 family members together kids have to wait through 17 people to get to their next present !!!!!!!!!

Also, she insists that the kids' stockings are just fruit and old fashioned wooden trinkets supposedly brought by Santa. The problem is every other year we're at my house and my kids wonder why the stocking stuff drastically changes. [/quote]

All MILs do this -- it takes up the day and keeps the attention on them![/quote]

Mine doesn't. She's very different than I am, she has very different views on tradition and family even, but she doesn't impose her way- different doesn't always equal conflict!

But I'm truly empathetic if yours is like this- it stinks and the best we can do is remember when our own kids are grown and do better. I do not care at all for my FIL, so I get the annoyance![/quote]
