My MIL spends a great deal of time trying to stir up things in the family. Luckley, we are all on to her.
I feel sorry for her because she truely "has it all" and is still a miserable person. He sons can't stand her and really make no secret of it. All of us DIL"S just avoid her and her judgemental ways, we are good mothers...regardless of what she implies.
When I search for a reason as to why we have people like this in our lives I feel like it is because somewhere is a lesson, with Martha, it is how NOT to be a MIL or mother. I wrote on her Christmas card that we would pray for her inner peace, because that is really what the problem is.
