[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My MIL keeps comparing my two kids with each other in front of their face. 
My older one has a spunky personality, makes friends easily and does really well naturally in whatever she tries (school, sports, music). 
My younger one (2 years younger) is much more shy, less excited to try new things, and has a tendency to get moody and wants to cling to me or her dad. She's also particular about various things (foods, clothing textures). But she also does well in various subjects, and has several very close friends. In fact, she's probably more hard-working and focused. 
MIL is constantly making negative comments to younger kid, about how she is "stubborn and inflexible" and "why can't you be more like big sister?" now frequently and makes her cry. She makes these comments when my DH is not around. 
Advice on what to say to her ? She clearly doesn't understand kids. I've told her comparing does do anything good and just hurts feelings and she listens but then does it again a few days later. [/quote]
So, you are married to my brother? She won't stop. She did the same to us when we were kids and my (older) kids just roll their eyes now.  [/quote]
