OP here: i love you and your post. thank you for making me laugh, yes, dd really said "where's the door?" MIl sometimes has pressured speech and she was going on and on and on and i think dd was trying to figure out what was going on with the conversation. weird little random comment. |
My mom says this about my children, too, and it drives me nuts, b/c she's said in the past she doesn't think I'm a very good mother and she'd do a better job with my kids. Ummm, no. She's crazy and will never spend unsupervised time with my kids. But when she says it during Skype sessions in front of the children, I just laugh and say, "that will never happen! You're so crazy!" And then change the subject. |
Why is your DD confused?
Why does she even think that going to live with MIL would ever be an option? |
I like this approach, and will probably adopt it as my own from now on! OP, I can somewhat empathize because my dad says obnoxious things ALL the time. I think the 'silly grandpa' thing might work. |
I just want to say that this is just TERRIBLE. So sorry your mom said something like that OP. I can relate because my mom is also crazy. I'm impressed that you still Skype with her. I haven't even spoken to my mom in ages. |
