[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m just always waiting for the next negative thing she will say or do.

Like today, family dinner, and her comment on something I prepared: “Hmm, welll that’s an interesting way to do that. I don’t think I’ve ever seen it like that. I don’t know if that was done right.” And no, NOT in a nice way. And no, NOT just a observation.

Or when she saw us let DS do something: “Well, I don’t know if I like it that you let him do that. Hmm.”

I feel like she’s always judging or criticizing me. Our furniture, where we vacation, what movies we let the kids watch, why we did this, why we haven’t done that, why we do this that way, etc. It is always something. ALWAYS.

Your response every time should be "Hmm I DON'T like your comments and did not ask your opinion."

I’ve probably worked myself up and created a complex. I never know what to say so instead I stew internally. But even my DH reacts when she says certain things, so I know it’s not just me.

I’ve tried ignoring it. I’ve tried making it a game, anthat helps, but then I’m still annoyed in the end. I wish I was more “quippy”. Help![/quote]
