[quote=Anonymous]I don't get along with MB's MIL (or FIL), and neither does she to be quite honest. When I first started the job 4 years ago MB had a rule that they were only allowed over if MB or DB was present (preferably DB). All was ok (unpleasant but somewhat bearable) for about a year-and-a-half with that plan. I just tried to stay out of the way if at all possible

Than one day MB's in-laws were over late in the afternoon. One of the kids was having a tough time, and I was handling it like I always did (the same way MB and DB did/do). Grandparents didn't like what was happening, and all of a sudden they completely exploded at me. They were screaming at me (in front of the kids) and saying unkind things about me in their rant. I calmly looked at them and said, "MB and DB are my employers. I answer to them. If you don't like something I'm doing you need to take it to them." DB then escorted them out of the house.

When DB returned to the kitchen I very calmly and firmly told him I never wanted to be in the presence of his parents again. MB was furious when she got home and learned about the afternoon's incident. She immediately backed me up with what I had said. Her in-laws are no longer allowed to come over to the house when I am there. On the rare occasions they need to come over for a reason during my scheduled work hours I leave before they get there...such as today.

I have successfully interacted with other difficult grandparents before, but this set takes difficult to a whole new level.[/quote]
