I understand that, and I am sorry for your experience with your mother in law. but you must understand that you are stating quite an extreme opinion based on your personal experience of an extreme personality (your mil). I think its terrible that she's made you feel SO uncomfortable. you have to understand that on the OTHER hand, people cannot offend you in your own house...eg my parents are religious jews and I would never bring non kosher food into their house, even though I eat it in my own house..it boils down to a level of basic respect...they do SO many things that aren't part of my life philosophy (many of them to do with eating and drinking) and I never say anything!!!I truly am sorry for whats happened with your MIL but I am SO not one of these people that are stuck in their own way...I just really became offended...
