I stopped putting up with my MIL's cr@p long ago. It didn't take me long to realize that she has a favorite son and I didn't marry him. Fine with me, the favorite son recently divorced and the overbearing MIL played a part in that. Every few years we visit the in-laws in Houston, sometimes they see us here in Michigan, we all see each other at a family reunion in Chicago every summer. That's all the meddling and rude behavior I need.

Dr. Laura once said that the in-laws came with your man. If they are such a pain to limit the amount of time you spend with them. You and I have both done this.
My limit is two hours very few times a year.
Part of the problem that we have is that my parents are long gone. My hubby has nothing to relate to.
