My mother-in-law is a nightmare: literally! I had an awful dream about her last night, how she was snappy and mean to me!
In real life, she’s fine. I wouldn’t say a dream mother-in-law, but pleasant enough.
I think this stemmed from a conversation I had with her last week. I had met up with her and my sister-in-law for lunch, and my mother-in-law felt the need to remind me that my husband, HER son, works very hard, and that I need to take good care of him. She proceeded to grill me about whether or not I’ve been cooking, what I’ve been cooking, if he gets enough to eat, if he’s healthy, etc. She was decently pleasant about it, albeit incredibly annoying.
MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS!! is what I was thinking in my head as I smiled politely back at her…
