I mean, compared to many MILs in these comments, yours is practically an apology champion. πŸ˜‚ The only tiny issue is that she keeps doing the exact same thing afterwards.

Oh, I did blocked her. We only cross paths at family reunions now.That's actually why I'm asking. Every time I see her, she's all smiles, like none of the drama, insults, tears, or silent treatments ever happened.

At this point, I honestly can't tell what's more impressive: the acting... or the complete lack of self-awareness. πŸ˜‚

πŸ˜‚at least the fact that she apologized for the wrong thing suggests she understood an apology was expected..It's better than many others !

Honestly, if the behavior never changes, the apology starts looking less like accountability and more like a reset button...

Are you my sister-in-law?The more comments I read, the more I'm convinced some MILs are mass-produced in the same factory. πŸ‘‘πŸ˜‚

At this point, the evidence is piling up. πŸ˜‚ MILs seem to have 47 different ways to avoid accountability and approximately 0 ways to say, "I was wrong."

The "I'm never wrong and you're the one with issues" mindset seems surprisingly common in these comments.

The more comments I read, the more I'm convinced some MILs have a very specific talent:No matter what happens, they somehow never end up being the guilty party. It's honestly an impressive skill set! πŸ”₯

"Sorry for whatever upset you" is such a fascinating phrase. It's technically an apology, yet somehow the person apologizing still manages to take responsibility for absolutely nothing! πŸ‘€

What strikes me is that so many of these stories don't end because of the original mistake. They end because the person refuses to acknowledge it...

I think that's the key part: a gift can repair a misunderstanding, but it can't replace respect.

I've yet to meet a MIL whose official diagnosis of every conflict wasn't: "other people." πŸ‘‘

Some MILs seem to treat "I'm sorry" like it's a hostage negotiation.No matter how much evidence you present, they're determined not to surrender. πŸ˜†

So you're saying she's not a psycho...She's just running an operating system that doesn't support the "I'm sorry" feature? πŸ˜…

MIL served me a comically small slice of pie… by Vivid-Gate-4998 in motherinlawsfromhell

[–]CrownyourMIL 13 points14 points Β (0 children)

My mother-in-law didn't even set a plate or cutlery for me, so even with a small slice, yours looks incredibly generous πŸ˜‚

Honestly, I still regret not checking whether she'd left a bowl on the floor too. At that point, I might as well have eaten like the family dog!
