Don't Bother Asking
Dear MIL,
I was very flattered you asked about what was going on in my life and initially appeared interested in what I had to say. However, if you were not serious about listening to me and only planned on paying attention for two minutes, don't bother asking me to detail my life's events. In case you are wondering, it is not polite to jump up in the middle of someone's sentence to run over and welcome your "favorite" son (not my husband) into the room and then turn to me and say "Oh, you were done, right?"
Fondly,
Your DIL

clearly, she cared a great deal about what you were saying.
sheesh.
She just needed some back ground noise so the ugly voices that bounce around in her head would be drowned out for a couple of minutes.
You weren't done? Yeah, my mother (not my MIL) is guilty of that.
Okay, I've read enough....this is hilarious! I wish I knew about this site sooner. My DH and I haven't spoken directly to MIL since April, and before that, I think it was three times since January and then as far back as August.
