[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] 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 she listens to you and understands when you bring it up, but slips back into the habit when she's not thinking about it?[/quote]

Yes I think so - I mean she nods and says "yes, yes, you're right..." but then it keeps happening.

She lives 3 hrs away by plane. So she comes 2-3 times a year for 2-3 weeks each time (she's retired). DH works a lot (70-80 hrs/week), and I WAH 50% of the time so I actually see her more. [/quote]

Tell if if she doesn't stop her future visits will be much shorter or non-existent and make sure your husband backs you up. You and you're kids don't need this crap. My mother use to compare our kids obnoxiously (but not to their faces) until my DH firmly said stop. He has a way of looking at you and quietly saying something that can freeze the blood in your veins. [/quote]
