Hi Anita,

You can call her dominating. Honestly, if she stops talking to my my father-in-law stops talking to me automatically to.Even If  I haven’t done anything. I use to find this strange but I think I got accustomed to how they behave. Like If I call my father in law he will always ask me if I have spoken to my mother-in-law or not. So many times my mother in law has told me her kids only call their father when she doesn’t take the call because they are close to her. I found that odd because I don’t think there should be a competition between parents  about – who is more loved? but then I figured as long as it doesn’t affect me I am not bothered. She never wishes me on my birthdays but if I don’t call her she gets mad. Sometimes I wonder why my husband doesn’t say anything to her.
