[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is OP. I do not believe taking a quick glance at your phone during a major holiday while having dinner in your in laws kitchen merits the pointed dressing down my mother in law gave me. It is incredibly rude and disrespectful. A normal person would have ignored it especially as I was NOT sitting there with my face in my phone the entire time. As she was focusing on berating her husband for being unable to cut his meat, I took a look at my family group chat. That was all.

I felt embarrassed at how she talked down to me. I could tell she was in a mood and wanted to pick on me. She has a habit of routinely picking on her kids or me when she is in a mood. I do not like to be disrespected and told her so, calmly and politely. She decided to escalate, compounded by my husband.

I do not appreciate that both she and my husband are intend on bullying me for "upsetting" her when she started it to begin with! I do not appreciate my husband making ME the problem instead of telling his mom to back off![/quote]

See what I mean? Defensive and without self-reflection or awareness.
No wonder she is in a bad marriage that she insists on being in. Gah.[/quote]

What aspect of this needs to be reflected on? Under no circumstances does an adult glancing at their phone require another adult to attempt to humiliate them.[/quote]
