Re: Weird culture trends that you don't get.

nayrt but I was thinking of that subreddit! My own MIL woes aren't nearly as dramatic or extreme, but... I see this pattern. My MIL wasn't a particularly nurturing mother, she spent most of my partner's childhood more interested in dating than looking after her kid. She is and was a terrible cook. She only wanted to spend time with her child if she didn't have anything more interesting to do or a man to chase. But if you asked her, she was sooooo into being a mother and she loved her little boy oh so much! I think she'd be one of those Facebook "boy mom!" types if that had been a thing back then.

So when I started dating him, the little offhand comments started up. Oh gosh, he spends so much time with me and not her, isn't that funny? Oh, your cooking is so good, here let me try to compete by making a Mom of the Year type meal and then getting upset when people eat it more out of out of politeness than enjoyment.

We're not having kids, she doesn't have the skills to host any holiday dinners and I don't put up with her bullshit and neither does my partner. She FAFOed a few years ago by throwing a tantrum about how I was late wishing her happy birthday and now she doesn't get even a text from me, including updates on her baby boy - who of course, doesn't bother to keep in touch with her at all.
