Today, I still don’t know how to act in front of my mother in law. She thinks that the Earth is flat and told her kids that all sunscreens cause cancer. She also has other theories that make me feel weird. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I finally got to see my favorite aunt after months of her living far away with her new boyfriend. She now believes the Earth is flat, gravity is fake, the government is run by reptiles, and that vaccines are the devil themselves. She won't stop trying to convince me of her conspiracies. FML
Today, my mom had a tantrum and screamed at me over my use of bronzer. She called me a selfish bitch and claimed that I'm somehow slowly giving myself skin cancer. FML
Today, I was trying to explain to my mother-in-law how I hated the way my father-in-law talks to me, the tone he uses. She thought I was attacking him and got mad at me. FML
Today, I can no longer tolerate my mother-in-law. She's not a bad person, but anytime she opens her mouth it is only to criticize, chastise, scold, or blame me. My husband is too terrified of her to ask her to leave our home. FML
Today, my mother yelled at me for standing too close to the microwave. Her reason? The radiation was going to seep through, kill my sperm, and cause cancer. FML
Today, I found out my girlfriend of 3 years actually believes that the Earth is flat. FML
Today, I had to explain to my husband that the Earth is not flat. He didn’t believe me. FML
Today, I had to listen to my mother painstakingly spell out to me why broken glass is extremely dangerous. Feeling insulted, I jokingly asked her if she thought I was "retarded". I then got yelled at for "swearing." I'm a fucking adult, but my overprotective and condescending mother seems to think otherwise. FML
Today, my mother asked me why I disliked her and my father's nakedness in the family pool. FML
Today, my mother told me the sun was the largest planet in the solar system. When I told her it was a star, she accused me of lying. We had to bring Google into this. FML

makes me wonder if your spouse is vaccinated with a mom like that

Fortunately we shouldn’t judge our spouse or partner by their parents. Which is is a good thing because there are truly some nut jobs out there! … Personally I’d suggest minimizing interacting with, arguing with, or discussing things (especially politics) with MIL. Hopefully she’s not a complete nut job and has some sensible behavior and beliefs too.

Benzene a well known carcinogen is in about 25% of sunscreens.

Benzene in sunscreen is pretty much only a problem in the U.S. It's banned in Canada, the European Union, and Australia.

All you do is say and act just as crazy as her. Have fun with it, I would! Say things like, "Well you know the dinosaurs never really existed" or "Fsirygodparents!" XD

You should send her to that 12-step program that help people who believe crazy conspiracy theories. It's called QAnon.
