If your mother in law had done this...?

My husband and I met his parents at a lake cabin resort this weekend. The cabin turned out to be one bedroom instead of two. The bedroom was in a loft with a half wall. My husband and I were on the pullout couch in the living room below the loft. My in laws went to bed and watched tv. I went to wash my face, brush my teeth, etc. When I came to bed, I saw that my husband was using both pillows to prop his head up. I asked for my pillow and he said, "but you brought your own pillow." I said, yes, I did, b/c I know I would want to sleep with TWO pillows.."聽 We've had this conversation before. Anyway, we'd been talking 30 seconds and his mother throws a pillow over the wall of the loft that lands on our bed. Maybe it was a stupid argument, but we all have those. Especially in cramped quarters. She should've given us the privacy as if we were in our own bedroom.聽 It's not the first time something like this has happened.聽 Maybe not the end of the world, but annoying, don't you think?

Funny or not, how much would you like your MIL weighing in on even the tiniest of arguments from you and your husband?

If she wasn't always perking up anytime we disagreed, it might be worth laughing about.

Well it wasn't an argument. But right before my first son was born (hes 7 months now) we were out doing some baby shopping with my MIL. At the time, I thought we got along quite well...

But anyway, we're at walmart, and my husband picked up a thing of Listerine with a whitening rinse attached in a bundle and I was like, you're not gonna use the whitening rinse, so we'll just pick some listerine up next trip if you need some. It was a display, and we were almost to the register to leave so I didn't want to back track and make those with us wait.

As we're standing in line his mom keeps going "why don't you go get your Listerine" etc like how dare she say you can't buy it! LOL

It wasn't even an argument, nor did my husband care one bit and to be honest, the entire shopping trip she pissed me off. I brushed it off at the time and didn't think much of it, but now I realize it was only one instance of many! She had such a view of me that I was this horrible wife in SO many ways, I found out all about how she talked about me behind my back like I treat her son like crap and I'm a lazy good for nothing, etc.

WE haven't talked to her in 5 months now.

I know what you mean but to be honest I would of probably of done the same thing maybe not meaning to butt in but just to have some peace. Don't let the stupid things in life interfer with yours and your husbands life. I have the mother in law from hell and I could say some things that would make yours look like a saint so don't sweat the small stuff I wish you and your husband best wishes and hope everything works out

If she had thrown it down to be nice that would be one thing but quite another if it wasn't. If it wasn't I would have thrown it back up and said no thank you I don't need it my stingy significant other is just a spoiled brat! Yes I would be annoyed by her behavior and giving in to her son for me because it's her fault that he isn't considerate and selfish by not sharing the pillows.
