[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A couple of months ago, we were visiting DH’s sister’s house when my MIL made an insensitive comment and as a result, her husband got very upset and called my MIL a b**** in front of everyone (including grandchildren). DH harbors a lot of resentment towards him as a result of that incident. He cannot get over it. When it happened, we were all shocked as we come from a strict immigrant culture where parents are always respected.

DH is livid and wants to decline their invitation to have us come to their state to celebrate the holidays. [b]Should I counsel him to look past his BIL’s behavior to keep the peace?[/b][/quote]

Nope. In general, I think you should stay out of it. Specifically, I think your husband should tell your BIL that name calling was not all right and he owes his mother-in-law an apology.[/quote]
MIL was behaving badly and finally the straw broke the camel’s back. Maybe she’ll watch herself next time.[/quote]

OP here. No she won’t. She’s 80 years old. She is unable to change her impulses. Believe me, we’ve all tried but at this point, most of us treat her like she is a 5 year old child.

I have tried to stay out of it but my DH Was gutchecking himself with me and I don’t know what the right answer is.[/quote]

So she acts like this all the time?  Team BIL.  [/quote]
