CatherineM Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 So this is the anniversary present my mother in law sent me for our 5th wedding anniversary. Should I read anything into it?

CatherineM Posted February 14, 2011 Author Share Posted February 14, 2011 She's just really upset right now because I got my citizenship. She knows now she can't get rid of me legally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luigi Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 You should send her something quintessentially Canadian that has a snarling, exposed-fangs wolf on it.... a copy of [u]White Fang[/u], for example, or a sports team's logo... for her next birthday. Or maybe a badger! You could inscribe it with, "I saw this, and I thought of you!" And congratualtions on your new citizenship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That can happen sometimes in a marriage with difficult inlaws. I try very hard to grin and bear it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If nothing else, your mother-in-law stories make me greatful for my in-laws, as much as they may frustrate me at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatherineM Posted February 15, 2011 Author Share Posted February 15, 2011 She sent me a valentine's present and card that actually had nice stuff in it. I'm basically in hand's off/ignore mode with her. Sometimes the only winning move is not to play. So she gets sweetly nice to show that I'm the problem, not her. I will of course send a thankyou note for the valentine's present, but I did not send one for the anniversary present. Maybe she will respond to positive reinforcement.
