So...a way back I posted a few things about my in laws: bigots at best and that's the best thing that I can say about them.
My fil died and my mil is ill. She, the grand dame of society is paying her other son to live with them. (He never made a living on his own.) She has become, if it were possible, even more bigoted, stupid and nasty as she ages.
The saddest part? While her son is devoted to her (or her money), her other dil despises her. "Happily" she is blind so she doesn't see sil sticking her tongue out at her. Passive/aggressive much? My husband cares that his mother is dying...but my children and I don't care. I think that the absence of feelings is more devastating.
Lessons to be learned: I will become, in the next few years, a mil. Do my husband and I have valid concerns about the significant others? Yes. Will I voice them, unasked? NOPE.
.......reminds me....I have a birthday gift to get for son's girlfriend.
