Quote: Btw, I think HP's and Mrs. Nop's suggestions are very good ones for starters. Humor and not fading into the background when she can clearly be heard speaking about you in your presence. Yes... start there.
I do think the advice is sagacious.
Quote: AND... MIL may continue to do these things... which you can ignore, if you and your W are in agreement privately. If your W begins to side with your MIL over you, then you have a different boundary issue with your W.
I will admit that if W and I had a private agreement to just let MIL rant as she will, but we will do what we want would completely defuse the situation for me. Having a MIL attempting to tell you what to do all the time is annoying, but its probably one of those things I'm just going to have to live with one way or another.
The problem is so far I have had to deal with W siding with MIL far too often. But I have enabled it by not making my preferences and boundaries clear. I hope I can turn that around.
