deb, that would bother me a lot. That is so inconsiderate of your MIL. I really think you need to say something, to make yourself feel better. Not to involve your husband or be confrontational, but just to clear the air. It doesn’t have to be harsh. Just a comment about what you just said, that you visit her more than your side of the family, and in fact see her more than your own children! I know often when people get older, they say anything that’s on their mind…rude or not, or have a little dementia going on, so she might forget anyways, but at least you’d feel better.

Either that or decide to pull back and not invest yourself emotionally with her anymore.
