Would you be offended.....

if your MIL sent you a copy of one of your wedding pictures (from almost 7 years ago) that she very obviously scanned into her computer, printed on her cheap printer, then put in a cheap plastic frame? OK, how about if you aren't even in that picture?



What if she sent a package very clearly labeled "pictures" addressed only to your husband? And they were just pictures of her new house?



My poor husband just shakes his head and apologizes.

OK- I think we have our winner....

At least your husband apologizes!!

He apologizes and doesn't even try to defend her! He's a little rough around the edges sometimes, but is good as gold, I have to say.



Wendy

ugh!!! Aren't mil's a joy ....I think I'd have been offended too....but you handled it well, I think.....are you having any passive-aggressive revenge fantasies?

I like to employ the 2 year old method of dealing with people... If I don't acknowledge you, you aren't really there. I don't acknowledge ridiculous actions such as these. They don't get the desired attention, so it takes all the fun out of her game. That's really all it's about-- getting some kind of reaction so she can play the martyr. "I didn't mean anything by sending that picture. Oh, you must know that I would never do anything to hurt you in any way. I was just trying to think of a gift you'd like that we could afford on our tight budget." By the way- they (mom & stepdad) just bought a 2700 square foot house.



Can you tell we've been through this before once or twice?
