Long story short, my FMIL plays head games....such as pitting the grandkids against each other, pitting the SILs against each other, playing favorites, etc etc.
Example: My future nieces (named Kaleigh and Haleigh - crazy I know) are only 2 and can't tell their names apart. If the correct grandkid doesn't listen to her when she calls her name, she spanks them. After I saw this, my FMIL turned to me and said, "____ and _____'s kids are complete brats" (in front of the mothers) and "you better have better behaved kids than these little shi**."
Needless to say, going over to her house is completely awkward and not a very joyous occasion.
I'm supposed to go over there tonight to have dinner. I love my fiance very much, and have of course bitten my tongue whenever his mother says rude things to other people (she is NEVER rude to me, just plays mind games).
What should I say/do when she tries to get my FSILs and me against each other? So far, both the FSILs *hate* me.
Any ideas?
