Thanks busdriver, that helped a lot. I will try and say something to her and I do think that she has lost her “filter”. We notice it more and more and usually I try and ignore it. I know that there are some relatives who are avoiding my MIL because she seems to becoming mean lately.

Sometimes I forget and still get upset by my MIL’s behavior.

I think this is a hard age. I’m dealing with my kids growing up and becoming more independent while our parents age. The problem is that I don’t want to deal with the parents and wish the kids needed me more.
