[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 592216, member: 14557"] I know the show but haven't seen that episode. However I'm sure my mother in law's garden parties will be usual successes despite distasteful corp growing next to her lawn. :bigsmile: She does entertain well. Her parties are always success. Interesting thing is that now when I'm not middle of this particular drama it is very easy for me to see how this will play out. When Mother's Day comes, we will all be at that brunch, also sister in law, and having good time after polishing both our shoes and our manners. This will again be lots of noise and nothing else. And I do think that I and other daughter/son-in-laws are only ones who even get bothered with these. father in law, husband, his siblings, our kids and their cousins just consider it business as usual and couldn't care less. So it is likely me who should change and not care even when I'm middle of it. But while I can see how it is, when I'm not emotionally too invested, I always work myself up when it is about me or my kids. I just want to be part of this extended family so badly that I always feel awful, when mother in law does something like that to me or my difficult child. And I really shouldn't. We may be unfavoured ones, but we are not only unfavoured members of this family and mother in law's fits are just that. She takes out her frustrations to us or uses us to create drama when she is bored or wanting attention. And that is just who she is and I shouldn't take it personally. [/QUOTE]
