[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MILs can't win. I think she did not like the dress (her personal opinion), but she said a nice thing so to not hurt your feelings (thoughtful and polite). MILs know they are walking on egg shells so she might have been playing it safe. [/quote] What an idiotic comment. Of course they can "win". Here's a tip: be gracious and complimentary when ANYONE shows you their wedding dress; definitely when it's your DIL, and especially when you've been over the top complimentary to a random stranger who is in the shop at the same time. Not so tough! Doesn't even require any special MIL-specific skills; just an elementary grasp of basic people skills. In no way can her behavior be justified as "playing it safe"...she was "playing it passive aggressively bitchy", and she knew it [/quote]
