[quote=Anonymous]You know that your mom is just like this. So don't take it personally! First, ignore the sneaky, passive-aggressive comments. Take everything she says at face value. Never rise to the bait. Let the criticism roll off your back. Respond with polite, but non-committal and vague comments. "I'll have to think about that." "Huh, I hadn't thought of it that way." Or enthusiastically agree with her--"Yeah, the yard really is a mess! I just don't have time to keep up with it these days. Thanks for helping out--you are so awesome!" [/quote]
