Woman 'humiliates' MIL in front of family, says, 'I had to get revenge on this woman.'

When this woman is angry at her MIL, she asks Reddit:&quot;AITA for humiliating MIL at a family dinner ?&quot; I (27f) haven&#39;t gotten along with my MIL for the better part of my relationship with my partner (27m). She has said a lot of mean things about me that are honestly just childish and cruel (I won&#39;t get into the he said she said stuff).  I&#39;ve become exhausted with her, especially as I&#39;ve moved into my career, moved town and am in the process of getting married/ buying a house. In the past few years shes taken to outright ignoring me, speaking over me, pretending i dont exist.  As a result, I&#39;ve mentally checked out from trying to make things working with her and in part so has my partner. Let me make it clear, I support whatever relationship he wants to have with her, but I&#39;m done trying to be her friend.  We were at a family dinner party (my partner asked me to come along) recently where she started asking him about when he&#39;s having children. She kept pestering him and asking when she&#39;s getting grand babies and that she wants children around.  This has been something shes been harping on a lot about lately and its getting on my nerves. My partner asked her to stop several times but she kept bringing it up. I was sat there silent for a bit, but I think the wine got the best of me so I kinda snapped.  I turned to her and started asking what she wants to know about our private life?? What kind of protection we&#39;re using, what positions we&#39;ve tried, what toys we use. I started to list them all.  Lets just say I used very inappropriate language for a dinner table, even throwing in a &quot;do you have any pointers for me, or maybe it&#39;d be best if you just came and watched to make sure we&#39;re doing it right&quot;.  At this point she was yelling at me, having a go at my partner for &quot;letting&quot; me speak to her like that and crying about how mean I am. We got up shortly after and left.  I&#39;m infertile. She isn&#39;t aware of this, I&#39;d never give her that info to weaponise against me.

Her not knowing about it does not make your reproduction her business but she shouldn&rsquo;t assume it will always be easy for everybody to produce kids even if that&rsquo;s what they want to do.  There were lots of ways to shut that conversation down that were less brutal to the rest of the family (example: &ldquo;if you want babies around so much, have you considered being a foster parent?&rdquo;  Or even &ldquo;if we had kids I wouldn&rsquo;t want them being around somebody who can&rsquo;t show good manners and stop prying&rdquo;) but you don&rsquo;t really owe her that consideration.  What you did was no more rude than her trying to pry into and direct what happens to your body when you&rsquo;re not comfortable with that discussion. Well, looks like OP is NTA.
