[quote=Anonymous]Could DH have a talk with her? He could try a gentle approach before getting to "cut it out, Mom." If that doesn't work, figure out some kind of rote response. She says, "That sounds nice." You say, "Yes, it was!" smiling brightly and move on. Or, just completely ignore, and if she follows up, say, "Oh! I thought you were talking to the kids!" If you'd like to be more direct, consider, "You know, given how upset you get when we talk about seeing my parents, I'm surprised you ask the kids about it. Of course we see my parents more often--they're so close by. Of course we don't see you as often as we used to--you moved much further away--but the visits we make to you now are much longer. We're doing our best, and we don't appreciate hearing complaints about it." [/quote]
