I really hate my mother in law. She gets jealous easily. She made such a big fuss and cried when my hubby gave me a gift for wedding anniversary. My hubby is at his wits end. We bring my in laws out regularly and buy things for her occasionally too. How do I tell her to grow up?

Probably you can try letting your son date her instead, without you. The both of them can go for a meal and coffee together.

i am sorry but doesn't seem like there's anything you can do about it really. just ignore and be yourself.

Suck it up, don't hang out around with her often. Some people don't change unless they want to change.

That's funny. See you can't please everyone. If you think you have tried enough then just let it be.

Your husband should know how to wayang in front of your in law. Treat you good behind of her;)

Its a very common MIL behaviour, maybe its not jealous and just insecurity of losing her son.

Should tell your Mother in law to stop being a millennial.

Can get your father in law to help to see what exactly is wrong.

When ur hubby give u gifts don't need to show / tell her.

thanks
