My mother in law has a very strong personality. She's opinionated, patronising, rude, amongst others, however I have always looked past the bad to see the good - and she does have some very good qualities as well. I have also put her poor behaviours down to her upbringing which you wouldn't wish on your enemies.

But, after 15 years, I've had enough. I am actually are at a point where I hate her. I'm exhausted and tired of listening to her and the drama she creates. Her other DIL can't stand her either, but neither of us have really spoken back to her or pulled her up on her rudeness as we have not wanted to cause arguments.

How do you deal with difficult MILs? Do you stand up to them or just or just let them be?
