[quote=Anonymous]To me, this is likely part anxiety and part resentment about the amount of "mom work" she is putting into hostessing your FIL's family. It's interesting that apparently they have all this paperwork drawn up but aren't married....why is that? Is she really, truly 100% ok with not being married, or is she going along with it to keep your FIL or because there's some external reason she can't get remarried (alimony payments, etc?) I'm just curious, because I am sensing resentment toward the hostessing in particular that might not be as evident if she were the true matriarch. I also think the age difference might be really making itself apparent to her. Maybe she's just tired and has to do a lot of behind the scenes caretaking for your FIL and has no gas left for people who aren't her favorites. [/quote]
