[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would totally not worry about it at all. When someone is impossible to please, I stop trying to please them because [b]they don't WANT to be pleased[/b]. [b]Don't spend a lot of time or money or agida on her.[/b] Buy her a nice light blue cashmere sweater from LL Bean or something, and think nothing more of it.

[b]People like her don't get any space in my head.[/b] [/quote]

Listen to this.[/quote]

OP here.  I agree with this.  I don't even think that FIL has ever once given her a gift of any kind.  Not even a hand made card.  Not one flower.  Nothing.  I know she does not feel valued, and likely wants us to feel the same.  I want to feel bad for her, because her life sucks, but then she is such a nasty human being.

Chicken or the egg, I wonder.  It is intriguing to me.  I guess I have never met anyone with such a depressing life. Clearly I want to know more how to handle it, though I realize some posters are saying simply to NOT handle it, which I totally understand.  Their reactions (aggression toward strangers - presumably MILs responding to DILs) are humorous, as I have not said anything to MIL :)    [/quote]
