Sh...Wow, your MIL really wants her some attention. She's like a high school girl who wants more attention from her boyfriend, so pushes him away hoping that it will make him come crawling closer, putting her in place as queen bee. I think that the only way to be happy here is to emotionally divorce yourselves from this person. Release yourselves from any feeling of obligation, desire for approval, or need for affection. I find in my relationship with my mother, whom I detest, that that has made all the difference. I don't care, period. She can come see the kids, as long as she keeps her paws off of them, but I basically just either agree with whatever she says or deflect it, like I would with a two year-old.Astartehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07337583910910454897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2294154635809719055.post-20752528624135923362008-10-09T19:50:00.000-04:002008-10-09T19:50:00.000-04:00I will bear fudge.

If I'm going to...oh, yeah, that might be confusing. If I'm going to use actual dialogue I'd be better using quotes or offsets. My mil called my husband to thank my husband for not going. <BR/><BR/>I do not think that I ever come up in these conversations. I think. My husband might not tell me, because he knows it upsets me. <BR/><BR/>My MIL is bizarrely (imagine that) competitive. She does this to my BIL, too, which makes him sympathetic - she accuses the two sons all the time of favoring their in-laws over their "own family." But, as far as I can tell - and I've heard her do it to my BIL - she doesn't bring her me or her other daughter-in-law into it. Much. I think she knows there are some lines. But she did once leave a voicemail at BIL's home phone calling her DIL a bitch. <BR/><BR/>Tash - you are so right. At the least they're cut from the same cloth.Which Boxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14223363075283823935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2294154635809719055.post-15398550990943959962008-10-09T16:41:00.000-04:002008-10-09T16:41:00.000-04:00She called him to thank YOU for NOT going?

Is that blatantly rude, or did I read that wrong?<BR/>Good that your husband contacted the cousins/other family - you want them to know you are thinking of them and all that.<BR/>Here's hoping at least one of these issues gets tied off soon!Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04963930937088035249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2294154635809719055.post-48808096751657188772008-10-09T15:13:00.000-04:002008-10-09T15:13:00.000-04:00That's all types of crazy.

Now go be a jewel and lower your expectations through the floor so you're not disappointed when we don't call!<BR/><BR/>Yikes. Certifiable these people. I still think yours and mine are related somehow.Tashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07376651134993450207noreply@blogger.com
