^^^ I have once, and I've been pretty blunt in other instances.

The one time I snapped was when I had just flown home from Australia... so, like, a 17 hour flight that landed at 8am Los Angeles time and it was 10 or 11 and I was in the super groggy jet lag exhaustion mode. She made some comment about how she "feels like nobody tries to acknowledge their lifestyle or work with it." My mom was playing with the baby, who is her first grandchild and she's terrified of losing access to, so she didn't say anything. But I LOST it.

My mother has altered every family recipe, gone out of her way to get special ingredients, met them at special restaurants and she had the nerve to say that? Oh hell no. I couldn't tell you what I said but I stood up for my poor mother, and made the SIL cry in the process. I am not sorry.

But other than that I'm the only one who will tell her when she's being an ungrateful bitch.

The stories I could tell about this girl...
