[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stop trying so hard then. She keeps nagging/getting pissy at you b/c she knows it produces a response/results. You've realized that nothing you do could appease her. So stop. Distance yourselves. You do have to be prepared for extra nastiness upfront, but it's like training a toddler, don't reward her bad behavior with your good effort. [/quote] You're right. It probably wouldn't kill me to actually relax with that little bit of time I actually have not working instead of making sure I bend over backwards to make MIL happy. My own mom stops by to see DD or even pick DD up to take her to do something fun so that I can get work done. It's extremely helpful. DH has pointed out that I make more of an effort to take DD to see MIL and not my own mom. My own mom isn't as difficult so I don't work as hard. I do feel bad.[/quote]
