[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband, FIL, BIL and BIL's husband (same sex marriage) do NOT reply to MIL. They all just stare at their phones, play with the kids, pretend they don't hear. It took me almost 20 years to realize that I do NOT have to be the one to fill the silence. So I stopped responding too. I do the same as them. It was hard at first, because she will pose a rude question and gets no response. Recent example: "Why does (fourth baby) already watch TV when you were so strict and irrational with (first baby)'s screentime?!?!" My husband looked at his phone. FIL yawned and shut his eyes. BIL stared into space. BIL spouse got up and left the room. I busied myself with baby. My 11 year old looked around, waited a while, realized no one was going to respond to his grandma and said "they like him better than they like me." Perfect. [/quote] Ha, ha - I LOVE this! [/quote]
