Probably when my mother-in-law texted me one day and used "lead" instead of "led." Just shows she's so fricking dumb she doesn't know the difference between an element and a past participle.

My mother-in-law is very cool.
THis morning, I got up and went into the living room. I said "Hey sweetie." My ex-wife in residence said "oh, thank you baby" and gave me a big kiss and hug (and breakfast).

This happened over 25 years ago but I will never forget it.
My in-laws had my 2 young children at their home 2 hours away for 2 days while I recuperated from periodontal surgery.
They brought them home at noon. They had passed hundreds of restaurants on their way back to my house. The kids asked for lunch and I proceeded to make them lunch even though I was still loopy from the pain medication. I didn't offer my in-laws any lunch. I figured the reason they didn't stop for lunch was because they weren't hungry.
So several years later they told my husband that I NEVER made them feel welcome in our house and that I NEVER offered them food. Then they mentioned this one specific time that I didn't offer them food. Oh you idiots! I was hopped up on pain medication and you stood by and watched me fumble around to make the kids lunch. Ugh!
Thankfully my husband put them in their place but they were not happy with either of us for years.
And it is amazing how they don't stop and think for one second why someone didn't do what they expected you to do.
This wasn't with in-laws, but when my mom started "dating" her current husband, after my dad passed.. I was in my early college years. He would come over and was to the point when I got home he was there, he would randomly stop by. If I was studying or doing something in general, I didn't always stop and say "Hello _______ how are you doing today". There is a point when you don't have to formally address someone every time you see them, if you see them on a regular basis.
Well one day my mom tells me "________ says you don't make him feel comfortable when he comes over because you don't address him and ask him how is he doing". There were more words exchanged, but I pretty much told her "well if he doesn't feel welcome he doesn't have to come over. Go to his house". And that turned into a huge deal for years.
If he drops by and I am not in his direct presence, I could not understand why was it such a big deal. He wasn't there to see me.. But I found out that he is just one of those assholes who wants everyone to acknowledge him when he is in the room, etc..But yeah, your story made me think about what I just told.

The house, they helped us buy the house then when we wanted to sell they wanted their money back + a % of the value over what we sold it.
Essentially bought for 120 and sold for 180 after improvements. They wanted a percentage of that extra 60k as interest. Of course none of this was discussed when they gave us the money.

Thanksgiving dinner. Came time to say grace. Nobody spoke up to say anything so my 4 year old son that has a speech issue decided he was going to say grace and started to talk about thanking God. They didn't listen to him and told him to be quiet. My wife spent the night at their house that night after she took their side....

My current in-laws simply do not get agitated....really good people.
My ex's parents/step parents is a soap opera.
My ex-mil used to babysit my son when he was young. One night I went over to pick him up and MIL was in a night gown. She sat down at a dining room chair while I squatted down to out my son in the carrier. She straight pulled a Sharon Stone leg cross on me.
Another time she picked up my 3 month old daughter from the daycare for us, but forgot to buckle the seat in. She didn't realize it until she hung a left trying to beat a light and the baby and car seat went rolling across the back seat. I had words with her after that.

Parents want SO and I to visit in Florida for Thanksgiving, however there are no beds available at the house. Parents offered to let us sleep on the pull out couch located in the GD living room. We are in our 30s, no thanks.
I said, we will just get a hotel and rent a car for a day or two and come see y'all. Easy enough yeah? Nope!
That turned into my parents thinking I don't want to see them for the holidays. Excuse me, frickers.
I deal with this with my parents. Whenever they come visit if I mention it could be a good idea for them to stay in a hotel it’s like I just said I hate the way I was raised and never want to see them.
If my wife and I want to stay in a hotel when we come into town to see them it’s like I just shot the damn dog

It was supposed to be an inheritance to the S/O from her grandmother who died. However, once we sold her mother said it was a loan.

I see your point so clearly. My in-laws, especially my mother in law, misunderstand so many situations. It's ridiculous.
What makes their accusations so outrageous, is that my husband and I always host his family for major holidays. None of the other 3 children do, just us.
Now we have moved near them and help them since they are in their mid 80's.

I think the divorce caused the biggest rift.
