[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I could actually speak my mind and say No 80% of the time, instead of saying yes 99% to be respectful. She is domineering, does not take no for an answer, her outdated and often ignorant and undereducated and closeminded ways are right in all matters. It drives me nuts. [/quote]

Oh man, I also could have totally written this. My husband and I have been married 10 years now, and I've always been completely respectful, but I worry that one day I'm totally going to snap. For instance, last week, we took the kids there to see her and DH and I left and had lunch. And after we picked them up and as we were leaving, she said, "I don't see the kids enough, I need to come see them at your house." And then I think she realized how ridiculous she sounded telling us this right after she visited with the grandkids, so to correct herself, she said "that way, at your house, I can also see your dog." I had to bite my tongue.  The real truth, as deciphered through my astute daughter-in-law filter, is that she probably wasn't happy that we dropped them off for a visit. She wanted us (I.e. Her son) to stay so that she could see HER baby - my husband.  She knows that at our house, we can't leave and have lunch.[/quote]
