Well, that is going to make the holidays awkward. 

Slate is a online magazine about news, politics, technology, culture and more. It takes a insightful and often humorous look at social issues, politics and news. One of their columns is Dear Prudence, which is written by Slate contributor Emily Yoffe. Yoffe receives about a hundred letters a week, and she sorts through them to respond to them and giver her honest advice on reader's issues.

Dear Prudence had a "Worst Mother-in-law of the Year" contest and I really hope that this letter was the winner. I'd hate to see what could be worse than this. A reader wrote in to Dear Prudence to ask for advice on the worst/possibly homicidal mother-in-law ever. Check out the letter below:

Dear Prudence,

 My husband, our three young children, and I recently went on a vacation with my in-laws. We provided the accommodations. My mother-in-law tries to act more like our children’s mother than a grandmother. She loves her grandchildren, but she is very interfering, judgmental, and disrespectful to me and my husband. On this recent visit she brought a children’s book for our 5-year-old daughter that was missing the last two pages. The book was about a girl who visits her grandmother for the summer every year; my MIL wrote an ending with my daughter that said the girl’s parents died and she got to live with her grandmother forever. It was written like a happy ending! When we confronted her (away from the children) that it was inappropriate, she blamed our 5-year-old saying it was all her idea. I am so upset I can’t even look at this woman; and now she is suggesting we get together again next month to go camping. What should we do?

Uh, maybe you should run! Never go camping with that woman! Dear Prudence had a similar thought, telling the reader,

"she’s gone off the rails entirely with the fantasy book ending that refers to the joys of orphanhood. I think (your husband) should tell her that an extended summer get-together is on ice this year. He can say you two are so steamed that you’re going to go away as a family without including the in-laws."

I'd also throw in there sleeping with some pepper spray at the ready, just in case her mother-in-law has been watching too many Snapped episodes. Like I have.
