This is hard to explain but my MIL examines and watches people, I mean really stares at them at then comments. It’s got to the stage where it is uncomfortable to be around her.
For instance, she was walking behind DH and I the other day and then, when we stopped for coffee, gave a detailed account of how I walk slightly quicker than DH so he has to keep up and when I pointed something out in a shop window he didn’t look, he was on his phone and I took my hat off and put it back on...
And then she analyses. We’re “not in step in life” 🙄, we don’t have mutual interests and I am concerned about my appearance.
Actually.. I have longer legs, DH was looking up where we were going and my hat was coming off. So what?!
She does it about strangers too, always watching watching and picking picking picking at them. She’s always been an unkind gossip, has no friends because of that, but it’s really got bad now and I’m sick of it.
Is this a thing? I’m going to have to tell her to STFU but I don’t want to be u and if it’s some kind of disorder I’ll do it more kindly!
