This line of thinking usually sets me on the path of understanding the relationship between MIL and my husband, rather than viewing her as a sometimes PITA.

Another "absolute must" is the necessity of your spouse putting you first, not MIL.

Carolina, wise words. Your second comment is VERY IMPORTANT. Very, very important. If that's done, pretty soon the meddlesome MIL should get the picture that her powers are useless with you!

Note to the world: Don't call newly weds!

Oh, lordy! Now we've paved the way to "The most annoying thing my mother in law ever did to us was..."

I'd turn off the phone if my mom ever did that, let alone my mother in law!!!

Same thing happened here with my MIL...and I did.

I have to say that after being with my wife for 15 years, my MIL and I have a great relationship now

Sometimes, you have to give to make your spouse happy.

My FIL, God rest his soul, and I always got along well.

Yes, you're right. Without that second part, you are pretty much "up the creek"!

You want back in? I might put in a good word for you with the Powers That Be, but it might cost you. Maybe some of the same package that you were supposed to send Allan. But then since Allan hasn't received his package, he might not be willing to support a request.
