My mil and I are very different, we will never be best friends sadly, but obviously I do everything to get on with her.
She's a bit of a hard done by martyr and complains about most things. I'm a strong believer in change it if you can or get on with it and accept it if you can't change it. We are different in many many other ways and she definitely doesn't understand me, but that doesn't really matter.
As usual they came to visit over Christmas, I always make beautiful food, lots of wine, they don't need to raise a finger. They are very good with the boys (2 toddlers) who adore the,, so they are very helpful.
As usual Mil likes to needle, little comments abou things not being good enough, or I'd do it differently. Whatever. I always try to let it wash over me. However, she kept going on yesterday about something so unimportant, and so I casually said, gosh you can be a cow sometimes, not viciously. Everyone laughed it off, But then mil ignored me for the following 36 hours and was pretty much mute.
I feel a bit bad, but then she constantly tried to needle me and I think you can't do that and not expect someone to get pissed off. And, it's not as if I was viscous.
So, was I unreasonable?
