Unfortunately my wife and her mom do not get along.

I personally think it’s sad, as I cannot imagine myself not being close to my parents.

As for my kids, my parents mean everything to me but that’s beside the point.

The point is, I maybe appreciate more her mom than my wife appreciates her mom.

Just trying to be respectful.

Regardless of that, her mom doesn’t live with us but rather with her brother. I have told my wife and her mom several times that she is welcome to stay at our place but she refuses and feels uncomfortable.

The problem is that, once in a while, you have to know your place. But my mother-in-law doesn’t understands that and once in a blue moon, she is ‘forced’ back to stay at our place. So whenever she comes back, she tells us she’s back because she has a doctor’s appointment. But then I realized the real reason – she got ‘kicked out‘. So I ask my wife,  why does her mother lies about the reason she’s back.

She tells me it’s to not lose face. I instantly thought that my wife does the exact same thing.

She’s keeping me in a world of lies and nowadays I dont know what is real or not.
