[quote=Anonymous]When my ILs criticize something/comment on something that is none of their business, or when they try to intrude by "helping" with things that they really are just drawing critical attention to, I see how far I can stretch Cheerful Dumb DIL. It's almost a game to me. "Jane, you should let me organize your linen closet. It's such a disaster." [Big, bland smile] "Oh, you're so sweet! Don't worry about it. You're always asking why you can't see Little Billy more, so I know you want to spend time with him. You just relax and play with Little Billy." "Jane, you should let me stuff the turkey. I know you worry about cooking temperatures and bacteria, but I know how to do it the right way. You just leave the turkey to me." [Big, bland smile.] "Oh no, Judy! You're our guest. Please relax and try that new prosecco and let me know if you like it." [/quote]
