This happened when I was married to my 1st husband.
Years ago, we had to stay at my then sister in-law's house for a week and a half while our new apartment was being painted and carpeted. I had taken the kids out to the park after dinner one night to run off some of their energy. They fell asleep before I could get them into the tub for their baths. She screamed at me the next day because my kids went to bed with dirty feet. Oh the horror of it all the world ended that day because of it...lol
Anyways, we got into an argument and I slapped the hell out of her in the kitchen. She called my then husband and he actually demanded I apologize to her. I told him no "effing" way and packed the kids up and moved into a kitchenette apartment for a week.

I am so sorry you are having a hard time!
Also you are making me feel very blessed! My step MIL and I get along great! We actually show up to family events wearing matching outfits sometimes!! Atleast the colours are the same!Now that was not the case with the original MIL! I hope you get the job and things start getting better!!!

Maybe you should tell her you will be helping to pick her nursing home, maybe she should be a little nicer to you. I couldn't deal with a person like that and I'm sorry you have to also. Hoping things will be better and soon.

It is hard when you don't have many choices. Just remember to try to treat her like you would want to be treated and remember that being nice to someone who is being bad to you is like heaping hot coals of fire upon their heads. That knowledge alone has helped me be nice when I didn't want to be......lol.
