I have posted before about my MIL. I have no children, which has been a source of anguish for MIL, not because she hasn't got any grandchildren, but she thought it would give her something in her life to be involved in. She has never cut the apron strings and remains jealous of anything or anyone that takes her son and daughter away from her. She can be downright rude to us if she doesn't get her own way and her share of attention. I would have loved to have had a supportive MIL as my parents are now dead , but I have accepted she is too selfish to see anyone elses point of view . We have been married 25 years and she cannot even manage to be in the same restaurant as us to celebrate ..she hasn't even wished us well.
