[quote=Anonymous]My own mother is disapproving and difficult. My SIL has backup from me and my brother (her husband). So if my mother looks over the table and says "Oh, no olives?" Bro or I will say "Mom, I've never seen you eat an olive in my entire life." If my mom says "You let the baby climb on the couch?" we quickly say "You know, it turns out all our friends were allowed to climb on the couch as long as they weren't wearing shoes - we just lived in an uptight household - it's nice that Baby can be more comfortable than we were in her own home." If my mom says, "Oh, you picked this restaurant?" one of us will say "Yes, because you asked us to make reservations here the last three times you came to visit." We almost never leave SIL alone with our mom, and we answer so she doesn't have to be the bad guy.[/quote]
