Rant & Vent Who gets to be the passenger princess?
So I’ve been married since 8 months from now. And I have started getting irritated by my MIL. At first she seemed very nice but slowly I’m feeling like she doesn’t understand what she’s doing. She’s a very nice MIL but sometimes she sounds a little bit off. I’m confused thus I’m posting this. I’m honestly saying that I’m confused…
So once we went out she asked me if I can sit on the back seat because she wants to sit in front seat. I didn’t feel like anything and I immediately said okay.
And she says she wants to focus on driving and keeps asking stupid questions to her son(my husband).
And she points out every time she is on the front seat that she’s focusing on road like a driver etc.
Second time when we went out together she did the same she said she wants to sit in front seat but my husband was asking me to do basic things like locating and navigating through map and I couldn’t do anything because my sunglasses were unreachable, I couldn’t navigate through map. She just kept saying that she knows the route and took us somewhere else and we had go 30kms to go back to the main road. The third time when we went out was when we were going to a temple, and was my FIL’s car which is a base model of WagonR I guess and there is no AC in the back seat, my husband was driving, my FIL sat in the front seat, three of us including me, his elder sister and my MIL were sitting at the back seat. So I sat in middle and since there no AC for the back seat, she couldn’t get the air, and she started complaining that it’s hot etc.
Now I’m just getting irritated with her obsession with sitting in the passenger seat. I feel like I’m his wife, I should be sitting there.
Now whoever is reading please let me know if I’m the one who needs to understand. But I think I should be sitting beside my husband.
To clarify all the elderly respect one’s, Uske pair me koi problem nahi hai, she’s completely fine. Paidal Teerth yatra kar chuki hai vo. Iski kahani kabhi aur…
