Hi, Look at this ironic sentence:
My mother-in-law is a brilliant woman.
I wonder why the speaker said this in spite of the literal 'My ... is bossy, etc.' I know an answer could be 'to criticise'.
Anything else apart from that?
Thank you very much.

@carolgreen876,
Maybe the speaker loves his or her mother in law. People do, you know.
