[quote=Anonymous]My MIL is an irrepressible gossip. Tell her something, anything, and expect that soon, everyone in her (increasingly smaller) social and familial circle will know the details. Yet, she fails to make the connection between me not talking to her freely and her rumor-spreading. To her, I'm uptight and guarded and boring. I must because I've been burned and refuse to be a victim. We have vastly different ideas about raising children; she's hyper-focused on appearance, for example, and thinks nothing of blithely calling my teen daughter's friends "chubby" or "heavy" to DD. MIL talks about women she admires "who work" and mentions this phrase ever chance she gets. Meanwhile, I'm a SAHM by choice. [/quote]
