OK.. to start off I am a very laid back and a cool person. It would take alot to get me angry. I’ve dealt with my MIL’s attitude for 3 years and cannot take it anymore. For one she is a close minded and angry person. She complains everyday of her job that she has been in for 20 years, she hates her husband of 15 years, and hates her apartment of 15 years. I am sooo sick of her complaints. I told her she should not live her life in anger and to do something about it, or else stop complaining. 3 years later we are in the same predicament. Its to the point that I don’t bring my son to her house anymore b/c of the unhealthy atmosphere. Which obviously gets her even more mad. This past weekend she wanted to go to dinner. Keep in mind… it was her idea. She arrives with a big attitude, acts rude to the waiters, and the rest of the family. Every time someone talked she replied with a negative comment. I got so mad that I asked her ‘why are you so angry all the time!!’ She didn’t reply. I don’t know what to do. I don’t want to go anywhere near her. I know she has alot of personal problems, but now it is effecting our relationship with her and other family members and I think it is unfair. Cause she acts like a victim all the time! Is she going through menopause? We tried talking to her and it doesn’t work! I wish she would just go away! I can’t stand ppl who do not live life happy and to the fullest. Complainers are the worst!!!

Should introduce her to my MIL! Sound like twins. I did go toe to toe with mine though, and it has caused a really big rift…fortunatly, my husband has finally seen the light and acknowledges how his mother is. What will become of this I don’t know. I do know that I will be going out of my way to avoid the issues she brings to the table…all the same issues all the time! The pity party gets old. I wish you the best of luck. And patience. It is needed in times like these.
