my mother in law always lies and exaggerates things . sometimes the same story is told two different ways to both my husband and i . i 'm glad you and your husband communicate enough to know that ! it 's frustrating though , never knowing how she 's going to interpret something and then share it with others . some of the things she 's told our kids have been just horrible . what do you say to your kids to deal with it ?
The mother-in-law's tendency to lie, exaggerate stories, and share distorted information with others, including the kids.
