[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Many of you suggested we deal with MIL differently. How so? How do you provide consequences to a grown woman? Remove access to our family completely? Refuse to visit her and FIL? Cut them out of our lives? I married into the family 10 years ago and have tried my own strategies (talking to her directly and calmly when she does something offensive, ignoring her, getting upset with her - none of which have worked.) I’m convinced there are mental undiagnosed issues. Genuinely curious. [/quote] If someone is putting you down or being rude to you, it’s totally ok to calmly say “That was very rude.” “I don’t appreciate being spoken to this way.” “If you are going to keep bringing this up, after I have already answered you, then we are simply going to need to leave.” And follow through. That isn’t being disrespectful to an older individual, it’s showing boundaries. [/quote]
