[quote=Anonymous]It is so interesting to me to hear about these older women who are very demanding of their children and in-laws. The biggest issue with my in laws (and my parents) is that my MIL (and mother) were raised to never express an opinion. They certainly HAVE opinions but they were both raised to believe that they should be seen and not heard. Our biggest family issues happen when the in laws (or my parents) expect us to know what they want, even though they never actually came out and told us what they think. Example: MIL: Are you coming up for Easter? You DEFINITELY don't have to. I know its so hard travelling with the kids. Actually, really, just don't worry about it. We have a lot going on and are just so busy. Me: Ok, we were probably going to stay home. Two days later my husband gets a text from a second cousin that MIL is very upset that we aren't coming.
