[quote=Anonymous]Never. My mom takes it as a direct attack if I do something different from how she raised us, even something small. Like if I say, "oh, we like to wear socks with our sneakers" she'll huff and puff because we went sockness in the summer. We are white Americans and my mom did a great job raising us, but she critiques every move I make. It's constant. Our boys are really great children, and she doesn't let up: let them have more chocolate, stop hugging them when they cry ("they'll grow up to be sissies"), he has quite a temper (my boys are ridiculously docile), etc etc. When I explain our reasoning for things she gets angry and says "you read too much". Ummm. We've actually stopped inviting her to help and visit. I keep telling her that she cannot say anything about my parenting unless the boys are in physical or emotional danger. She claims it's her "right" that she has "earned" to speak her mind about how I raise them.[/quote]
