Combine this facial expression with this one and add a sigh. To get a general feel for the sentiment behind it, think of a time when you were stuck listening to someone else's spoiled brat throwing a tantrum in the mall because the parent lacked the spine to discipline the kid.
Which really isn't too far off the mark. Your MIL is acting like a child, and your wife lacks the courage to say something to her about her behavior.
Need advice. I need to know if I have enough ammo to talk to my wife about some of the stuff that my MIL has been saying. I also want to talk to my MIL and let her know how uneasy I feel about what I perceive to be her flirting.
But I need to know if this is appropriate for a mother in law to be saying to her son in law:
"I was going to take a pic of you shirtless while working in the yard to send to your wife"
"take off your shirt tomorrow, don't be shy. I wanna see that shirt off"
to daughter: "if you mess things up with him, I'm keeping him"
to me: "tell my daughter I'll trade her men", says this while slightly touching down the lower end of my back.
She also has been making it a point to tell me how the relationship with her husband is dead, and that he is not "getting any" from her.
I mean is this all normal stuff that a mother in law tells her son in law? Is this just her being friendly? She said some of this stuff when she was drunk, so could I chalk it up to the alcohol?
Point is do I have enough to go to her to tell her that it's inappropriate or will I look like a fool?
It doesn't matter. At all. Leave it alone and ignore her.
What I meant was if feels like if I'm a total jerk and she's not after me then I just shunned a woman who needs help. But from what everyone here is insinuating she is verging on it
Does she call and talk to your wife for a couple of hours? Does she text your wife a lot?
If her interest in you is more than her interest in her daughter, you have your answer.
Even if you are wrong....you can still ignore her. If she's really troubled about something, she needs to look elsewhere. You aren't the best source of help for her.
