MIL bashing

[christidee]

Let's discuss this. My mom posted this on FB. Not only is she bashing my grandma, in a way she is also bashing my dad. This is when it becomes painful. 

uuuuugh. I really wish she wouldn't do this. It is bad enough I have to hear her bad mom my grandma to my face, but this is just an entirely different realm of inappropriate.

Yeah, I've seen that thing before; I can see how it's meant to be light-hearted teasing, but if someone has a tense relationship already, it's pretty rude.

That's just bitchy and unnecessary. That makes me sad for your grandmother.

I know it is supposed to be light-hearted, but I know it isn't that way for her. I am also very sad for my grandma. She is seriously the sweetest old lady ever.

One time my grandparents visited my parents, and once they left, my mom posted something about thanking god that it was over and how painful it was and how she needed alcohol.


I know that I don't get along with my mom very well, but I will never ever talk negatively about her to J because at the end of the day she is still his grandma.

I think it depends on who posted it. Like, I'd laugh if it came from EmmieB1025 or lauranicole91 or thedahliharpa.  They have some crazy MILs. 

ETA: I wouldn't find it funny if it came from luvmy2sons.

Ugh, that's so inappropriate. I have the same view as you - no matter how I feel about my parents (I have four of them, lol) or my ILs, I'll always TRY to remember that they're all equally Kai's grandparents. If I were you I'd leave a somewhat snippy comment on the photo, just something about how great your grandma is and how lucky you are that she raised such an awesome dad for you. I wouldn't be able to let it sit there uncommented upon.

I also will be a MIL some day so and that would make me sad, I would not want someone to say that about me raising my boys
