[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]SIL just called me and asked me what I got for her mother—my MIL—for Christmas.

I said, “I have no idea what Jake got your mom. You should call him.” And she got huffy with me. Like…call your brother! Why would you assume I got her something? Why would I do that? I met her exactly seven years ago. Why would I be in charge of that?[/quote]

Your title re a 43yo and OP statement make no sense together.

I'll bite.  I got my MIL several nice items.      Not because of my DH's aversion to shopping, but because I like and care about her, and it's not putting me out.   She is the grandparent to our child.

I am the parent of one child, a boy.

Some day I too will be a MIL.

I hope my son marries someone more kind and thoughtful than you.[/quote]

Ding ding ding!

I love how you know he’s going to marry, and will only be attracted to women. [/quote]

She can be a MIL even if her son marries another man.

Does no one here ever just lose their patience with stuff? Sure OP was brusque but it's not like she called her SIL an idiot, swore at her, then hung up. She got irritated - she's probably swamped with work to finish before the holidays, trying to keep it all together, and this was just one more thing sort of moment. We have them. Also she's right about the inherent sexism.[/quote]
