Re: how would a clever DIL behave while shes living with the inlaws...
^ i dunno Straight_Up.. most people think its like being a door mat or something or not being straight forward enough.
Yes, if its something naive ur MIL says and all you want to do is explain to Ammi that thats not really how it is anymore.. and times have kinda changed. Say it.. but say it nicely.
But if its something that can be avoided and aint harming u or ur kids in anyway.. then move on from it. No need to correct everything thats out there. Work on yourself and raise your kids right... set a good example for them, rather than trying to change people around u, cus thats a lot harder.
