In-law problems?
-
Or perhaps you could go with her on special occasions like Christmas or easter service once in a while but say that for normal weeks you are all busy etc? (so she does not get offended?)

Hmmm... how should I put it. It is not about offending her, it is about getting her to understand that we do not want her to impose her believes on our kids. And to stop trying to manipulate DH through DD.
MIL means well and I appreciate that. So after thinking through, I conclude, I am more irritated with DH, for his inept handling of this issue with his mother. :razz: -

Been there. Not easy, but the sooner he handles it the better. The more irritated he becomes, the more he feels he is being manupilated, the more emotional it will be when he finally faces his mom. It is not easy to face one's mum over such issues , but it is easier to nip now than later.

And yes ,IMHO, most MIL issues will be diminished if DHs knew how to draw the line. As DW, I often blame MIL as it is easier to make her the villian than my loving DH . I know deep down , it is my DH who is shirking his role.

Put it this way, most men are NOT able to handle their mothers. So we, the wives suffer.

In laws can have a notorious reputation, sometimes difficult, sometimes unreasonable, but sometimes just plain funny! Care to share?
I will start off with my mostly nice, but extremely quirky MIL.
She can ask the same question or make the same statement 10 times a day (to the same person sometimes). For example at my family function,she \"kidnapped\" a hapless baby and went round telling everyone how much she loves babies! When I was weaning my kid,everytime there was a topic change in our conversation, she would ask \" So, did he take milk powder today?\"
She will never fail to goo goo ga ga with my almost 3 year old son when she sits with him in the car. ( the kid can already talk in sentences)
:skeptical: :skeptical:

my MIL is a hoarder aka karang guni.
she likes to collect stuff like plastic container that are used in food courts. this is ok except her stash can last a food stall to use for 3 months.
my FIL likes to turn sofa into hedgehog. will stick used toothpicks into crooks n crevices. unsuspecting guests will be poked at places where they least expected. -
