[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op, you sound like you don’t like your MIL and are picking at what are slightly annoying but fairly harmless behaviors. You also sound dramatic and judgmental.

My ILs are a huge PIA to host, and my FIL tells lots of war stories and I smile and keep my mouth shut and cook them dinners that I wouldn’t normally cook because they like bland food. Because they love my DH, they love our 4 kids, and I can bear it for their sake because I am a mature adult. I do give my DH hell to try to set some boundaries before they come, because they are really challenging people to host, but I’m not hosting them because they are my friends, but because it’s important to my kids and my DH.

You could have given this advice without being so judgmental of OP. I would be irritated as well.

Being critical and judgmental yourself  right off the bat undermines the soundness of your counsel. [/quote]

But that PP is right. Based on facts presented, OP is dramatic and judgmental. What her DH is saying is pretty telling. For a DH to say something that strongly worded points to the fact that the PP is correct.[/quote]
