My personal prayer: G-d, never let me behave as poorly as my Mother in Law. Give me the strength not to stoop to her level. And let me live long enough to inherit all her money. Amen. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

Oh, no. There's a HUGE difference between mere musings and divisive, thoughtless and cruel words and actions. [ Reply | More

I bet her mil wouldn't be so graceful as to post on an anonymous board. Instead it would be broadcast to the whole family [ Reply | More

Watch out. MIL may well leave it just to DH and/or grandkids just to spite you. [ Reply | More

By bashing her, you are stooping to her so-called level. I hav relatives I like and those I don't care too much for, but I don't make a big thing of it [ Reply | More

I love your post and I understand your sentiments. But I can't help feeling that's one reason she's so difficult. Imagine if you had a sneaking suspicion people only put up with you for your money. Even if you knew you were a bitch, that would eat at you. [ Reply | More

OR I'm sure she does. I think most of the ORs on this post are taking this whole post too seriously. We all get really steamed at people from time to time and this is a safe place to vent those emotions. Well...safe if the rest of us try to come at a post with compassion first on our minds.

I think that venting promotes more venting. I find MIL jokes really cheesy. I don't need to bash someone to bond with others [ Reply | More
