[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just stop giving your MIL information. When MIL asks about “E”, simply respond, “She’s great and growing everyday”. Keep it vague and change the subject.[/quote] +1. Sad but true. She seems like the kind of woman who puts others down in order to prop her and her daughter up. Don’t give her any information. Eventually, when she wants to compare the two girls and can’t because she doesn’t have the necessary information about your daughter, it’ll drive her nuts.[/quote] This. It is the rare, highly self-aware, empathetic and open elder who can handle being called on their shit. Keep things cordial and don't look to her for kudos. When she compares detach and don't take personally. Change the subject if needed or make an excuse to go if it bothers you too much. You cannot change someone set in their ways, but you can change how you respond.[/quote]
