My MIL hates all women. Whether it's friends, relatives, anyone on the street. She always has a comment to make about how bossy a woman is with her husband, even though at times the woman is perfectly normal and not bossy at all. Any idea on why she would comment like this ? Is it out of jelousy or out of frustration ? She herself is very bossy with her husband. Am trying to understand why she behaves like this as each time I visit her, she always has a story to say about our friends / relatives wives ! Please can you advise. Thank you. Dimple replied. my MIL wants all the attention to herself. She never compliments other females and thinks that she is still young and delicate. Once she started crying while looking at her honeymoon pics and kepy saying how pretty she used to be!!!!

She needs to realize that her time is gone and now its her DIL's turn to bask in her youth:) replied. Hey what a coincidence. My mil is a clone of yours. All this time I thought I was the only one with this problem. prumessence replied. Same here. And when FIL says to her that you dont like anybody she brings up name of this one random woman(who happens to be my distant aunt) that she likes. And as soon she is done praising that aunt she will immediately jump on to how my mother is not like that aunt!!! She is impossible my MIL!! anu replied. hey..when I read your message, I realized that my MIL is also the same way. Even she hates all the women around her. I had never noticed this thing before...

My MIL:
doesn't like her MIL
doesn't like her SILs
doesn't like her SIL's only daughter
doesn't like her \";devrani\";( her husband's brother's wife)
doesn't like my sister
and needless to say, she doesn't like me either :-)

Now I wonder what the problem could be? Howcome she has problem with everyone ?
may be she is jealous with other women ! And my MIL always tries to find fault in other women and always praises herself.

I wish she could introspect herself- she will get an answer !
