One other thought.  if you're setting across from a person, your face is going in one direction. Especially if you're eating.  I got seated on an angle once and a person at another table was what I had to look at.  I really had to move my chair on a new angle.

Mine couldn't stand to look at me LOL I outlived her !

This is just tip of iceberg, you got 30 yrs to go yet.

I've been set free and it feels like sunshine every day !

Good Luck !

I've lucked out - I never had a mother in law. First husband's Mom died in the bombing of London during WW11, second husband's Mom a year before he & I started dating again. She would have been a real problem - a large part of why I did not marry him when we dated the first time.

Everyone in my family and my husband's family have manners and are polite. I would never marry someone whose family members behaved inappropriately. Isn't that the purpose of being introduced to one's family prior to marriage? Isn't it to allow everyone to know just what they are to expect after the marriage?

My dil does the at the dinner table. She'll burp the say something stupid about it. 

When my grandson started doing it I squashed it delicately by saying it's very rude to burb at the table and not ever do it again.He or she hasn't done it again.

I think most people marry because they love the person - bad in laws or not.

@151949   But you just said above:

So which is it?

I clearly said it was PART OF why I did not marry him then.

Wow.  That is some luck.

Considering her age, I think she's probably experiencing medical issues although I don't have a clue what it might be.
