Certainly not the kind of thing you get pissed off about for 2 days.
You can play peacemaker all you want but this is an issue that's going to come up time and again and she needs to be set straight...in the nicest possible way of course.
My wife comes first but that doesn't mean my parents come second all the time. A wife and a husband are suppose to understand that about their respective in-laws to make their relationship work .

Well said. I'm not a big fan of my mother-in-law. She's a very good person, but we just don't see eye to eye on a lot of things. But we play nice and are pleasant to each other for my wife's sake. Marriage/family involves lots of compromises.
