To find my MIL aggravating....

She's just contacted my dp to remind him to speak to his dad today, he's in his 30's fgs! It's just the tip of things that rattle my cage. Last time I saw her at a family event, she managed to chastise me for leaving food in front of everyone! Think she struggles to see us as our own people, even though we own a property and both work full time. I dread meeting with her now, as there's always a scathing undertone. Even though I have been with dp 5 years she's never once asked me a question about my life or family. I am a prolific question asker, it's so awkward being asked nothing back!

I think that my MIL is quite "possessive".

She'll often talk about before I knew him or people he knows but I don't.

Ridiculous really.

He loves us both, there's room for us both as we each have a differnt relationship with him.

I'm not particularly close to my MIL - but I do think that is as much to do with my attitude as to do with hers ! BUT she is a brilliant Mum and Grandmother - so I respect her for that ..... Even if we annoy the pants off each other !
