[quote=Anonymous]My MIL is actually a really nice person, but she is super insecure.  I think she dislikes things that make her feel bad about herself.

- I am not country enough and "I just don't understand how real America is"

- She is super bothered that I pushed DH to get a higher degree and professional job by getting loans. She has stated strongly that "you just work and that's that." She things DH is "putting on airs" and that it's my fault.

- That I insist on eating "fancy food" and she has expressed fears that I will starve our children because we won't be able to afford enough of the "fancy food." Note that my grocery budget is $450 a month for a family of 4.

- And then one that I don't know for sure, but I suspect, is that I'm frankly kind of a contentious person. I can badger and be irate and disagree just because. I'm not proud of that. But she is the most compliant person in the world and I think she really doesn't like that I don't go with the flow more. I'm way too Type A. Maybe I just don't like it about myself, but she has commented on how I should be less of a perfectionist (in nicer words than that) so I think it may bother her.  I don't blame her on that point.[/quote]
