@ BVfan123--I can understand exactly what you are saying.

My SIL who is now 39 , still to get married, has not cooked a single meal all her life. At the most salamis, eggs etc. My MIL compliments her omlette but not my food. When I prepare food its always about what else I could have added to make it taste better, or how should I not have added this or that.😕

Half the time my MIL gets hurt about her son not saying or inviting her for something (only DIL inviting), the other half she gets hurt because her son did but DIL (me) did not have the courtesy to do so.😆😆😆

like i said after so many years of marriage, my husband now sees through his mother's nakhras and we have more fun about it than heartburn😆😆

In fact I recently brought a book for her titled Others Are Not The Problem😆😆 though I am still to give to her, I probably will just leave it on the table where it will catch her attention😆

@ watchserial--Yeah I agree that son vs daughter talk has gotten to the point I have decided I will not even tell her the enxt time I am pregnant till it starts showing, all the let it be a boy talk simply ruined the joy of my first pregnancy. I had a daughter, my husband is the firstborn son, so I had to hear such long winded stories about blessed womb and blessed firstborn son (these talks irk my hubby too so we are on teh same page about this) and I had a cesarean which was a NO-NO for her and she did not help me out at all during my post pregnancy days saying I know nothing about cesareans and still keeps trying to dig up google info on cesarean and side effects for child!!!!!!!

Anyways I have maintained a strict policy of I listen to her but dont let her get to me. I nod, smile and thats it and go about doing my business. I dont share any kind of info with her or my thoughts. Just listen, nod, smile, comment if it is needed and be done with it. SO whenever she comes it is more of a question-answer session, hows this, hows that, what about this, what about that and my answers are yes, no, nod, smile, laugh, I dont know, oh really, let me finish this...😆😆😆

It is so sad that in this day and age that one woman troubles and tries to score over another one!...it makes me think that isnt she happy that you make her son and grandchildren happy and be happy for that!...lol..I love my daughter in law and if she said the moon was green...I would happily agree with her...she keeps my son and two precious grand daughters happy and I just dote on her!!...and I admire you ladies for putting up with all this injustice and not being rude or nasty...you rock lovely ladies and are the best..dont let anyone tell you otherwise!!❤️

Another story...when I had my son...I used to breastfeed him doc had recomended 6 months of only breatfeeding...fortunately I had ample milk supply...So my son was pretty satisfied with BF but he requred frequent feedings coz mothers milk get digested pretty soon...dont know why my MIL is against breatfeeding...her logic is babies do not gain weight by mothers milk...she used to force me to give bottle.I strongly resisted it...I told her baby formulas comtain lot of fat thts why kids gain wt but its not nutrient rich...when my milk is enough then why to give bottle...she was not ready to listen.

She used to criticise my child rearing skills...Of course I was inexperienced but a mother knows what is best for her baby.

I never listend to her...I have never been rude to her but I just listen and forget..now she has stopped commenting.😊I BF my baby for almost 1.5 years

He's perfectly healthy and fine kid 😊...

My In laws blindly believe in kundali and astrology...their trusted astrologer had told him tht my husband will only hav daughters no sons 😆😆😆

My hubby is their only son so they had accepted the fact tht they wont have any so called heir.

But When I had a son they were overjoyed...and tht has made them quite possesive abt my son.

Surprisingly they still believe tht astrologer even after his prediction failed 😆

Overall my in Laws are very nice...I really respect them and admire them but sometimes they get this "in law" attacks when they behave like a typical in laws.😆

Wow, You would be the ideal MIL in that case. Now only if there were MILs like you (big sigh). It seriously is nice to see the other side of the coin and to see that you appreciate your DIL so much. There is still hope...

@pratts... Yes I now follow a less talk policy myself. I would call them very infrequently, but almost stopped when they forgot my Bday and did not wish me. It once so happened that I did not call until 10 am to wish my jethani on her Bday and that became such a big issue. And when they forgot mine it was no big deal for them! Now I just listen from one ear and use the other nicely!

In my 11 years of marriage there have been many of these imarti-ambi type incidents. My MIL has been working all her life so has not done much cooking.

Once I made kairi dal, she ate it and says oh, the dal is getting spoiled, it is so khatta and like ambi all I could say was yes, I have made khatti dal, only when I told her that it was raw mango dal and I liked it khatta she discovered that raw mango could be put in dal😆😆

Hahaha..too good :)

i think in the long run, it is this policy which works the bet with them. like another member on this thread said, don't let it get onto you...😊
