You totally cheered me up. I should print that and read it before I have to go to anymore family (dis)functions.
We actually very rarely attend any of her family crap because she always freaks out and is miserable if we don't totally kowtow to what she wants. This, in fact, may be our last Hanukkah over there. We've been doing holidays here since last Passover when MIL screamed at us the whole time she served the seder, while playing the hanging scene from Mississippi Burning in the background. MIL is seriously whacked.
I just generally avoid her. I don't go over there unless it's a family function, I avoid her calls (ever since she ever so pleasantly asked me what I was doing answering her son's phone), and things are happy.
Oh well, at least my family's welcoming and accepting of our plans to run off to Vegas.
