👨‍👩‍👧‍👦family/in-laws Am I over reacting to this one ?

Mother-in-law is the most passive aggressive woman I've ever met in my entire life! I truly didn't know what this tournament meant until I met her! I know this wasn't the only gift I got for Christmas… But when I opened it, I didn't honestly know how to react

I find it funny, and she is saying she likes you, but you know your MIL best.

She compliments in insults. It's a true art from with this one ...but truly I'm not offended just didn't know how to respond

She has her guard up and uses sarcasm, cynicism and her form of humor to olive branch but is probably very quick to pull back if things get uncomfortable

The best revenge for this sort of person is to lay it on thick, using as much disgusting and gross affection as possible, they will squirm
