I have a mother in law, who is 80 something years old and she is so old fashion it gets on my nerve. What I mean by that is, if I was to wear a skirt she would have a problem with it. My daughter had a really cute dress on the other day, my daughter is 3 years old and she asked me, do you send her to school that way. I was like what are you talking about.. This is the weekend and it is hot out what do you want me too put on her. She also has a comment to make about everytime that I talk to my husband. She treats him like he is still a baby and I try to tell him to tell her to mind her damn business. I am trying so hard to be nice and not curse her out and I am about to blow up and let her have it..
Please tell me what I can do to avoid having a bad situation develop? My husband is to hard headed to understand and he keeps telling me that i am overracting...
Thank you all for responding....

Live your life in your household and just smile and keep moving forward,, no need to cuss the woman out its not going to get you any where but a big fight with your husband it appears his a mom ma's boy..
Just over look her and and be you unless she is paying your bills, buying your clothes and feeding you to?

Why do you let it bother you so? Sounds like she won't be bothering you too much longer. Not to be mean but she's pretty old. Maybe just act like you didn't hear her and get up and leave the room. Avoid being in the same room alone together. How she treats your husband is between him and her. It's really not your place to make comments about it. You'll just push him into feeling bad against you, not her. That's his Mom, you know unconditional love and everything......you can't compete, I wouldn't try. hang in there. If you do say something to her (which probably wouldn't be a terrible thing) be sure to think your words over before sharing them with her. If you insult her, you may indirectly insult your husband in the process.

don't feerl bad my mother n law is about the same way when ever me and my husband has a fight or a argument she thinks that she should put her 2 cents in and most of the time the best thing for her to do is just mind her own business because you know sometimes most of the fights is going to be about her any way because if your husband want put his foot down honey believe me you better because that is what i done i finally got enough of it and finally went off on her and and i kept telling my husband to do something about it and he woudn't so i did and he didn't say a word and besides it wasn't going to do him any good anyway so eventually you will get tired of it and you will feel better in the long wrong if he want do anything about it then honey you do i promise you will feel alot better

my god she is 80 how would you feel cursing a 80 year old out, your husband should become a man them because my mother is 82 if i had a mate that disrespected my mom like that he would become my ex. its time he drew the line and put you in your place stay home dont go to her house if you dont like the things she says she is his mom and he has the right to go visit her without you being there nit picking

Well to start with she's 80yo... she probably won't live much longer... ignore it... she's to old to change... and when people get old the only thing they have to throw around is there opinition... I know how the husband is I have one just like him... tells me to ignore his mother... well she died in march 82yo... that shut her up... hate to sound morbid but the woman was so jealous of her son and me ...that she run me into the ground every chance she got and for 25 years she never let up... Ignore her!!!

yeah normally to something like this I would say let her know how you feel to avoid blowing up at her but I would just let it go,if it bothers you that much and your husband is not helping just leave for a while and see what happens.
