    Dear All,
    I have been a silent reader and my first thread here. Live in a joint family MIL, FIL, GMIL, DH and my child. Work full time . Have all the regular joint family issues and somehow manage to keep myself sane and at peace. I can write a book on them, but unfortunately time does not permit :)

    My Mom and Dad live in a different city. I visited them recently and came back. On the day I returned, I got a call saying my mom is dehydrated and hospitalised. Though I wanted to go back,my dad thought it would be difficult for me to travel back the same day with a little one and told me not come. My mom recovered in a day and is fine.

    Two days later , today morning I got a call in my cell phone around 7:00 am. I was getting my child ready to school and in a hurry was searching for phone. MIL says " Call for you so early morning. Your mom is unwell. Hopefully no bad news". This just brought tears to me. DH completely understands the situation, but would not stand up because 'peace' will be spoilt.

    I am moving on, but how to let go of this. Whenever I have similar experiences, I thank GOD for teaching me 'How not to be in Life', and belive this too shall pass.

    have a nice day, Lovely ladies.

    Dear Gita,

    That is so rude of ur MIL. Her comment is not just hurting , it shows how cruel mentality she has!.

    Kudos to your patience.

    This too will pass on is the good idealogy. At times we have no other better option.

    Hugs to you..

    Cheers,
    Sweetlife

    Whenever I face similar situation, I console myself saying that "this is how he/she is bought up. My parents have bought me up in a better way." I tell this to myself 10 times and pity on them. It works for me . :)

    And Yes.. This too shall pass...

    Hi gitasri,

    I suppose this is some word that your MIL blurted out.
    some people do not think of how their words would affect people.

    They do not talk purposely but then they are not aware that they are talking something bad.
    Just chill and tell this to your DH so that he points out next time MIL makes such comments.

    If she goes on to make that a trend, just ignore her words and behave as if she does not exist.. that should give her the clues.

    dont worry about things and concentrate on your mother and child now..

    The OP can not chill. Because as you r saying the MIL has not blurted out those words unknowingly. It is an act of willfull preplanned hurt by her MIL.

    As MILs are themselves women, they know it too well what hurts a woman maximum. Then the MILs plan their words.....rehearse it a few times within mind......edit it with more venomous words......then speak it to the DILs. The DILgets hurt......that is seen in her face.......that brings cheer to the MIL.


    The above would be the oft-repeated sequence in 99% of MILs. Of course 1% of MILs are really good and free from prejudice too. Not all women r lucky to have the later.
