Ask Prudence: What to say to your mom-in-law when she tries to catch you

Dear Prudence: My mother-in-law found one of her father's handkerkerchief flattened out and hidden there.

Prudie : Should I say something to show I know she was trying to catch me out so she could do more negative gossiping about me? She failed to explain, but you've already won!.

I told my boyfriend I have had it. His sisters aren’t welcome over and if they show up with the kids, I’m shoving them out the door. My boyfriend told everyone to go home and took me to the ER . My arm is in a sling, and I can't raise it above my head. Even with my injury, my boyfriend’s family is all aflutter with outrage.

I think this might cause a real rift, but I am so sick of this. It could have been a lot worse..

He thinks of her as an aunt or the mother that he never had.

I want him to feel comfortable talking to me about everything, but I’m starting to have a damaged ego.

I don’t want this romp to end with him, but maybe his relationship with his old neighbor should be off the table.

He’s into someone who is not you!.
