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?

We take the good with the bad when we marry into a family. As much as hating your MIL can be cathartic and understandable in this case, the more constructive route is to win her over by letting her know that you are not there to take her son away. Instead, you are now her ally in making sure he is loved in all the ways a mother would want her child to be loved.
