[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - many people have in-laws who suck. I'm sorry that you do. I certainly did. My MIL would "return to sender" when I sent her a gift. I told the postman to send it right back (every year).

I think your in-laws must not approve of you. Are you a different race, [b]religion or economic class[/b] than your DH? They clearly think they are better than you and probably were hoping your DH would leave you. And now, with a kid, he is less likely to in their perverted minds.[/quote]

Not same PP, but thank you for shedding light on my decades long marriage; I am a different religion and social class. My MIL is a narcissistic psychopath, and always will be.

Not being able to get along well with others, and celebrate differences is your ILs problem, not yours, OP.  Your MIL needs to grow up.

Interestingly, my mom has less money and education than my inlaws, but because she is a Southern Protestant and they are Northern Jews, [b]she somehow still feels superior to them while simultaneously accusing them of being elitist.[/b] It really sucks.[/quote]

This is my MIL.  I now know why people marry spouses from the same/similar geographical area.  Some MILs makes it difficult - and take any DIL who is "different" (whether it be geographic origin, background, class independent of money, what have you) as a personal affront.  In turn, the MIL's ignorance becomes glaringly obvious.  One would hope to be older would equate being wiser, but it is clearly not always the case.  My MIL has inadvertently taught me to take the high road, when I become a MIL; as her displays of selfishness, ignorance, smug and self righteousness are almost comical, at this point.
