That way they have no hold over you. Even if you have to cancel cable or something. <BR/><BR/>Just a thought.BandKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10111197063546332024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17409854.post-25611706833750471912008-09-08T13:44:00.000-04:002008-09-08T13:44:00.000-04:00Ah, yes, the passive-aggressive "But I was just jo...Ah, yes, the passive-aggressive "But I was just joking! Geez!" And then you get that "You don't have a sense of humor" look when you don't think it's funny.<BR/><BR/>Yep, I've met a few of those in my life. My hubby being one of them. Using "joking" to disguse a pointed remark, and then accusing you of not having a sense of humor when you get upset. Yep. Been there, own the t-shirt.<BR/><BR/>*Sigh*BandKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10111197063546332024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17409854.post-43018393061221964042008-09-04T21:06:00.000-04:002008-09-04T21:06:00.000-04:00I think we have the same father-in-law.

Because he no longer has underlings who kiss his ass, he wants everyone else to do so. He singles me out for belittling in ways he would never, ever consider with his other DIL. Then he gives us money and it's supposed to make it all right. And then he's got the "we'll take his money but we don't respect him" argument if I sass back or stand up to his abuse. Sometimes I hate that MoFo.Bunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12955817346800123054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17409854.post-68473363472453995672008-09-03T20:50:00.000-04:002008-09-03T20:50:00.000-04:00this is where I say, "it's nice to be divorced, wi...this is where I say, "it's nice to be divorced, with no inlaws!"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17409854.post-91300092128964668702008-09-03T11:54:00.000-04:002008-09-03T11:54:00.000-04:00this is pretty much what I say (in my head) all th...this is pretty much what I say (in my head) all the time. i feel better that you said it out loud. so thanks.MsPicketToYouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12304288663203185972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17409854.post-15060628583006671202008-09-03T10:19:00.000-04:002008-09-03T10:19:00.000-04:00Your story and mine are very similar.

But like yours, he won’t stand up to him, unless it's really bad. And if we try to talk to FIL, he gets so defensive that a cathartic, get it all out there conversation to resolve these issues is impossible. I feel your pain, deeply. I hope you are able to find the inner strength to deal with it. I hope the same for me, too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17409854.post-34959772812580870652008-09-01T09:52:00.000-04:002008-09-01T09:52:00.000-04:00i actually threw my husband out for letting his mo...i actually threw my husband out for letting his mother try to run our lives and told him he could kiss her ass from her own house, not mine. i'm the only bitch running my household and needless to say MIL and i hate each other, so i totally feel your pain!Britthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01836233504325584572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17409854.post-9374495838731535942008-08-31T21:11:00.000-04:002008-08-31T21:11:00.000-04:00That just sucks.

Not that you asked for advice, but have you tried sitting down and having a serious conversation with your FIL about how he treats you? Granted, it should be your hubby having that talk.

I think your FIL sucks out loud. <BR/><BR/>Something to say in response to "I was only joking": "If you're the only one laughing, maybe it's not such a good joke."<BR/><BR/>But I know, you can't win with people who will just tell you to lighten up as if everything is your problem. <BR/><BR/>Possibly the greatest blessing of my married life (aside from the offspring) is that my inlaws live on the other side of the continent.

He's all about taking care of her and I respect him for that. <BR/>But, she's here all the time and is constantly questioning ridicules bullshit in my parenting, things that don't even matter, and he won't say anything to her because he says, that's just the way she is or it's a little thing, it doesn't matter.Shonda Littlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14411603868888972136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17409854.post-32023514985406304922008-08-30T12:28:00.000-04:002008-08-30T12:28:00.000-04:00Girl, I feel for you!
