Feel sorry for your mother-in-law. Can't imagine how she much feel.
This is such a healthy attitude your husband must be proud of you.

I would love to give you some good advice that will work. However the common sense answer you dismissed. You need to move out. You are 52 and I am sure you look great. Why the heck would you marry a man to move in with his mother? A woman you already had problems with when planning the wedding (RED FLAG) You did not say how old he is but you should have your act together by now. Bottom line, your mother in law doesn't like the idea of you free loading and living there. Sorry to be harsh but this is why she dose this to you. She enjoys her son and wants him to stay not you. Your husband is NEVER going to side with you against MAMA. What you see is what you get. If I was you I would be looking to better my life and be self sufficient so I don't have to live with people who abuse me.

Even though you can't stand your mother in law, you do love your husband. That is why you married him. Therefore you have to accept his family. Make the the dinner and don't complain about it. And don't expect she will appreciate it either. You are doing it for your husband. And he knows it, and will love you for it.

you need to let this women know that you are in control of your home and if she don't like it she can leave. Well what i mean is cook the meal, be nice , but don't go out of your way to be nice and if she starts running off at the mouth or causing problems, come back at her, run your mouth and if it comes down to it, tell her to get out of your home.

What does she do to you? I would not tolerate her if she is rude to you. Call her on it and let her know that she cannot treat you like that. I complained to my husband once about his mother and he told me not to tell him to tell her. When she knew that I was not going to let her act like that she stopped. Occasionally she will try and he will tell her. She hates it worse coming from him. We also do not see the in laws much anymore and it is her fault. Don't let her ruin your day. Good luck.

My daughter-in-law invited me to dinner once. She said she couldn't find anything at the grocery, so she ordered pizza. You could try that.

Do the " RIGHT " thing.
Cook a wonderful dinner.
Be a fabulous hostess.
Treat your MIL with incredible kindness.
You will have nothing to regret.
Your hubbie should love you more for it. Besides that, you will like you more.

Tune out all the bad and irritating stuff she says, and listen to everything else... It will be a long dinner, but you can do it...

If your husband won't stand up to her, you have no choice but to be nice to her.
If your husband doesn't understand why you feel the way you do, you just have to suck it up and be nice.
Its only one day - do you want to stay married or not??

Kill her with kindness and keep your mouth shut.
Sorry, but this is one of those problems that cannot be solved. Your best bet is to just dig down deep and deal with it.
