[quote=Anonymous]OP, I agree that MIL invites should be way more limited. As for dealing with elders, I was taught to respect and defer to my elders. My grandmother was an unhappy, self-centered person. One time she started going on to me about how my father was useless and didn't amount to anything. I just sat there and took it, which haunts me to this day, but I was 17. My "respect" was so ingrained I felt I couldn't say anything back. I should have defended my dad, who is a great person and worked hard to support his family (including her, funny enough). Turns out she had some mental illness and developed dementia as she got older. But yes, an elder being mean and hurtful doesn't override general respect between family members, especially considering her history.[/quote]
