You go, girl!!!!

Nobody! but nobody can wreck your marriage but the two married people! The solution is simple. Stop allowing malicious gossip to affect how you respond! Mother-in-laws or mother-outlaws have no power, but the power you give them over your lives. Relatives do not have any rights when it comes to your marriage and family.
So stop whinning about your mother-in-law and set the boundaries to prevent problems! Your mother-in-law bothers you because you allow her to bother you. Just stop-it ! Take authority over your lives and children. You can not reason with someone who is unreasonable!
Keep people out of your married life and family life, that is your right! Mother-in-laws have no rights, but the rights you give them! So get a backbone!!! Clearly, this woman understands relationship issues in all facets of life, not just family issues. It's Called self esteem. No one has that kind of power over you unless you give into it. It took me 19yrs. to figure that out. People will bully you if you let them. Your right- you can't reason with an unreasonable person. We have two sons and have always taught them that in order to get respect, you have to give respect in return. They have come from humble beginings with a spiritual background. When they leave the 'nest', I hope that we've installed in them a sense of self respect, integrity,morality,compassion for their fellow man and self love. I actually like my kids and are lucky to have great repore with them, even through their teenage years, and bullying at school . If I may quote a phrase from Peter Finch in the movie "Network', "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it any longer". A man is not defined by who he is, but by what he does.
