Great article! My MIL is the queen of unsolicited advice and throws in digs in as well. Last night, I told her how worried I am about my son who lost his job and has several mouths to feed including yet another baby on the way. I also wanted to discuss some other serious issues with her. I was really upset and needed to vent. Instead, I got a big lecture about how I shouldn't give him money, etc. She also managed to throw in a miscarriage I had in the 80s, bringing me back that pain, and she sat my husband on a throne about his accomplishments while demeaning mine. I'm still so upset today about the things she said. If she wasn't old with failing health, I'd have nothing to do with her again. I really regret talking to her about this! I won't make that mistake again.
