[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There has to be more to the story here. Pakistani here as well and no son in law would behave that way unless seriously provoked. The patio comment must’ve been a breaking point. What else happened that day?

I see this deference to elders become super toxic in a lot of families. At some point your DH needs to realize his mother can’t treat ppl the way she does and have the same results she has with her kids. You say you treat her like she’s 5 but really you should be talking to her about her rude behavior that everyone else tolerates instead of meekly siding with her for cultural reasons and making your BIL the bad guy.

Given the severity and rarity of the situation I’m inclined to be team BIL. Our culture punishes people who set boundaries and call out bad elder behavior. [/quote]

They *don't* treat her like she's five.  A 5 yo, if she were constantly rude, would be spoken to, and given consequences for her actions.  That's obviously not happening here.  [/quote]
