Same. My dog is my 56 lb baby. I run on caffeine pitbull hair and cuss words shirt such a cuddle bug, and comes running to me when I call her for snuggles. MIL tries to call her over to pet her, but my dog ignores her. MIL is like, “Oh, she’s just not cuddly like my dogs.” Nope, my dog loves to cuddle just not with you, because you’re constantly yelling in her face. I’d be putting MiL in a time out -_- it’s YOUR party and YOUR dog. My dog is my baby, even if he’s 60lbs. She needs to respect that your dog is important to you.

I too have a pit mix, well, too. Thankfully, my mother is a normal human being and was annoyed that Dog1 kept jumping up on her. I run on caffeine pitbull hair and cuss words shirt watched and realized she was doing our command for “hug pls”. No more jumping because she realized she did wrong and why Dog1 was confused. He’s also a runner. So I was very infuriated and also swooned at your DH’s shiny spine. Very nice! Definitely sounds like a shit show! I would be so unimpressed by her behavior! Good on you for continuing to invite them even after all of this. I don’t think I would. It sounds like she doesn’t have a lot of respect for you, your space, or your dog.

You are not being whiny! This is just oil territory in my opinion! (She repeatedly put your dog, a member of your family, in danger!) Sounds like you handled it with grace. I run on caffeine pitbull hair and cuss words shirt sorry you have to deal with her constant disrespect and boundary stomping. This is the place for minor venting about annoying as shit MILs like yours. My MIL did the interfering with a strangers kid thing and it was mortifying. Also, people who undermine your dog training can suck it. Oh, you want your big dog to be well trained, how unreasonable!
