My MIL - I know she dislikes me. I finally asked my husband to tell me the truth after years of speculation, and he admitted it. She seems to hate that I value my career.
Anyways, she hung pictures of her kids and their spouses in her home, and posted only one of my huband alone! She has millions of pictures of the two of us together, and when I was over she asked me when I was going to give her a picture of the two of us! WHAt the -~!? What is she trying to do and how should I respond?
Thanks

Don’t let her know it gets to you or she will use it against you every opportunity she gets! Never let the enemy know what bothers you or hurts your feelings! Just pretend you don’t notice, or maybe play a little passive aggressive with her and hang a picture of you and your husband with your parents in your home. Display in prominently. She will get the message! HEHEHEHEHEHHEE.
My mil doesn’t like me either. The only reason she has our wedding picture in her house is because her niece is a photographer and took our wedding pictures and after not getting a picture order from her for several months the niece mailed some to her. I get some satisfaction from the huge (24 x 24) wedding picture of my husband and I that the niece framed and gave as a gift to my mil, it hangs in the living room. I think you need to ignore you mil. It sounds like she is playing games and trying to make you crazy or earn her approval. So what if she doesn’t like you, all that matters is that her son is crazy about you and that has to be driving her nuts!!!
Next request to picture of the two of you together…puzzled look on face and a sweet “Gee (insert name) I’ll have to call the photographer and get you another copy of the one (hubby’s name here) gave you last week. Did you have another of your missing moments?”
