MIL stress

My MIL is gone finally!!!!!!!!!!! Aleluya!!!!!!!!!!

I'm back to be a happy woman again What a relief

I did not mean to offend you by offering my advice of staying away from your MIL. I wish I had some moral support for you. I only meant, if this isn't working for you, do not let it get YOU down. Get out, take a walk, stay away, etc. Sorry, I can't relate to your situation and hope to goodness I never have to!

hey no worries...i took your advice with the same spirit as it was meant to be, i understand what you are trying to say...and i do try to keep away as much as possible, i dont understand her point of view, approach to life nor emotional or behavorial issues...i cant understand her at all, never in my life have i dealt with anyone so raw and rustic, all respects to her, but i find it chaotic to live with someone with an entirely different outlook, since there is no other way, i decide to take care of her silently and keep emotionly away...i hope and pray no-one has to endure living with in-laws so befuddled in mind and jealous in approach.Most of the times i prefer to close my eyes and think of her as the mother of my husband whom i love so much--there is no other way to handle her keeping my temper in check.

these days the cook isnt coming, so i cook the whole meal before leaving for office...well well she added chilli poweder to the Lentil curry i made.for whose happiness is i cant comprehend , but yess she did it...and i just kept silent only because i didnt want to give grief to my husband.

On a daily basis, i need a lot of strength to tolerate this.Btw, today is my Birthday--and DH gave me a diamond pendant...and we plan to go to a pub in teh evening all by ourselves..ha! i cant be happier.

I asked my husband not to tell my MIL about my B'day, i didnt want to be fussed by a lady to hates me to hell...

but whoo hoo, its my B'day...so who cares:)

I hope you were able to go to the pub and that everything works out perfectly for the two of you tonight. As I stated earlier, I really don't know what I would do, and I hope that will never become an issue!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU BIJNIL!

thanks you ...i dont know your name ...so it's eeyore46 for me...but in any case i'm thankful for the wishes coming for al corners of the world....

Thank you all:)

Happy Birthday, Sweetie!

Thank you all for helping me retain my sanity during tough days ...and being there when i needed a shoulder to cry...just so taht i could smile when i wanted to..

Give us an update, Bijnil. How are you doing?

Hi beline, feels nice to hear from you and know you all are around…depression got better off me , so I thought to turn the negative energies into something concrete and started a food blog, cooking has always been a passion, I love all forms of art…but off late I stopped all the cooking as my MIL does not like whatever I do…she has a peculiar problem of criticizing everything which is not according to her palate and licking the plate clean if she happens to like it...but never ever saying a word of thanks as if that gesture would belittle her…to top my dilemmas, if I cook anything extra she refuses to have it the next the , just adding in to the already long list of troubles which I face in my daily life…am I downloading all my miseries…??!! I’m sorry, but I could help but burst all as you are the only person who happened to ask the miseries of my everyday life. But anyways, I tred to fight back the situation by staring food blog, journalizing all my recipes, which I love, and hoping people might love too… And thanks for asking me about my wellbeing…

my MIL is on hiberbation for a month..'grin'

Aww! Isn’t that too bad…?
Sorry I’ve taken so long to respond. I’ve been on vacation for two weeks. I hope you had a bit of a rest as well, you know - with your MIL being away. Where is she, and when is she coming back?
