mother in law

Entering into a family has got to be weird, and it seems like grandma here hasn't exactly warmed up to the idea of having two extra grand kids. Is she deliberately being a jerk or is she unfairly being obligated to extend her grandmalyness to two new in-law grandchildren? The internet deliberated. Family politics can have big ramifications, like when this sister was uninvited from a wedding for her comments

Nothing tops the sweetness of a successful petty revenge like being validated by others around you that you were in the right all along. Sounds like Karen was going way too hard on the salt with her cooking. So, a simple decision to hide those salt shakers resulted in everyone being pleased. Nicely done. 

The look on the mother-in-law's face must've been priceless. Yes, this woman's story of secretly understanding her mother-in-law's native language, and ultimately accidentally making that known to the rest of the family is pure gold. I think the pure shock value in letting the mother-in-law know that she could understand her all along makes all that trash talk worth it. 

We've seen petty onion-based arguments with mother-in-laws, but this is a whole 'nother level. In this advice column, a woman was suspicious that her mother in law was trying to poison her. Prudence said she should get her husband to switch plates at a family function and see if the mother in law had any objections. The following-up details how he didn't believe her, so she switched the food anyway, and while it was confirmed that the mother-in-law had it out for her, the plan didn't make her husband believe her. If your mother-in-law is crazy enough to be a serial poisoner, maybe you should be wary of your husband as well.

We get a kick out of people being petty like this guy who uses his imperfect lawn to drive his mean neighbor insane, but we've never seen someone cause family drama with the act of pitching a red onion as far as they could. To be fair to him, they already had some cut onions, but to be fair to her, it is just an onion.

The jury isn't out on whether allergies exist. Most people understand that. Most.
