| This is why I never answer the phone when MIL calls. Crazy, annoying woman who needs to cut the cord and get a life. |

I feel for you.
My mother will call over the summer to inform me of the temperature and make sure I don't take the baby out when it is too hot, I got the call yesterday regarding the snow, I have also gotten a call when I was driving cross country solo to remind me not to pick up hitch hikers. I told my parents it was too late and he was no longer a stranger but we now are good friends! But seriously, I have never shown lack of solid judgement. Do you think you raised an idiot? I believe the issue is that my mom has no hobbies, and has nothing else to talk about since I will not engage in a conversation about Obama's Hawaii birth certificate. I know this is her way of saying "I am thinking about you and I love you" but I really wish it was said that way (and at a time when I am not trying to get the kids down for bed) |

I think all the pps that are jumping all over OP and calling other "ungrateful daughters" and bitches, etc. are either the same person OR are the Mom/MIL from hell themselves.
OP has every right to be annoyed. Calling to state the obvious is insulting to anyone. By doing that, MIL is implying that OP has no common sense. OP never said she was rude to MIL. |

"Ungrateful" for what? Being nagged still at 37? "Hon, I just saw the news. It is going to snow 3 inches in Pennsylvania tomorrow. Are you sure you want to drive there?" THAT would drive anyone crazy. |

OP here. interesting responses.
not that you would have known, but i guarantee my MIL was calling b/c she thinks I would go out with a newborn and 2 year old b/c I'm crazy/stupid/impetuous and would drag her poor/innocent/sweet son out with me thus putting her beloved son and grandchildren at great risk b/c the mama is so selfish/obnoxious/self-centered because she wants a coffee/book/groceries/dinner. and she KNOWS exactly what time bedtime routine begins, what time dd starts falling asleep, and when dd is totally down for the night. she still likes to call smack dab in the middle and then is SO disappointed that she can't skype with dd. |

Well, she sounds about right on at least part of it. |

It's not only daughters that talk badly about their mothers/MILs. MILs talk about their DILs too. You should hear what my own mother says about my brother's wife (who is a very nice and polite person). It is embarrassing. So it's not only daughters/DILs. |

Honestly, no. I wouldn't take it that way, and it wouldn't drive me crazy. Nagging would bug me, yes. But not the comments you wrote. I can almost hear both my mom and my MIL say those very statements in a soft, kind but questioning tone. I appreciate their caring that much about my safety. |

| My mom called tonight (from L.A.) to remind me not to touch downed power lines!!!!! Easily defused, because we have no above-ground lines anywhere near my home. This is an argument she will accept. If I had tried to point out that I'm not an idiot, she would have had none of it! |
