It seems like every three or four months or so, we are having to remind MIL that she is the mother and not the wife. I have no idea what make s her think that she can make decisions that impact my household without my consent, but it ain't happening.

She called me...at work...to say that she wanted to know why she hadn't heard from her son....so I told her that his cell number is still the same and she would probably have more luck asking him than me. I explained to her that my work number is reserved for clients and that she should leave a message on my cell umnless its an emergency in the future.

Give me a break, everyone can see what she's trying to say, insinuating that DH doesn't call her because of me. Not the case, but tough cookies.

Get over it, MIL!
