[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If OP sat there and said nothing people would say she was a door mat.  The SIL was a brat.  There was no need for SIL to say what she did. I think that SIL was upset because OP and her husband supported each other, she sounds bitter. [/quote]

Maybe, but the grand show of support that Op and Op's dh gave for each other was entirely unnecessary and only goaded SIL into saying more unfortunate things.

Someone worked hard on that nice meal being served (MIL?), the concern should have been more for the host than setting rude SIL straight.[/quote]

This.  The SIL was rude, and I think it's fine that OP stood up to help her FIL.  But the "supportive" comments by OP and her husband were unnecessary.  Much better to ignore SIL's rude comments completely.  He didn't need to tell OP she was "doing a wonderful job," (barf) or ostentatiously serve her, and OP didn't need to make that smarmy comment about him being a good husband. (double barf)  Just ignore her.  She'll look stupid all on her own.  But the show of mutual support would have been grating to anyone watching.  And feeling the need to respond to every one of her comments (and no, your husband didn't ignore her question, he answered it) just fed the drama.  Better not to add even a single stick to the fire.

OP here. She ALWAYS does things like this. Usually we ignore her and pay her no heed. However sometimes we can't help but respond. [/quote]
