[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Send her an email. I was in the car, heard what you said about my brother and I'm offended. You're an important part of our life, as is my brother, and i'd appreciate it if you refrained from saying such hurtful things about the people I love. [/quote] Way to create one hell of a mess. MIL thought she was having a private conversation with her son, who in all likelihood is the one who said your brother is a loser-she didn't come up with that one on her own.  In reality, what difference does it make.  I love my brother, but he is a mess. BFD.[/quote]

Who cares what you think about your brother? This is OP, not you.

When someone hurts me, I let them know directly so we can mend fences and the problem isn't repeated in the future. That's how adults move forward in relationships.[/quote] The point was that op is being ridiculous. Mil didn't say it to her. mil didn't intend for op to hear the comments. Op's brother is likely a loser. Op's Dh is likely one who told the mil the brother is a loser. "Confronting" mil is only escalating the issue. If she takes issue with anyone it should be her Dh, but if her brother is a loser she should just own it. [/quote]

I disagree. OP is not bring ridiculous. Mil was told at the start of the conversation that she was on speaker so it's on her that she "forgot" and has to deal with the repercussions. It's not escalating to tell mil how inappropriate her comment was, it's shutting down that catty bs, hopefully forever. And yes, dh also has to be dealt with for permitting this kind of language in regards to her family. [/quote]
