[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, kudos to DH for trying to do the right thing.  This says a lot about his family and how he was raised.  You are a very lucky woman.

SIL sounds like she is being picked on, is MIL a bully?  I have seen PLENTY of wolves in little old lady sheep clothing!  You are also doing the right thing by being concerned, you sound like a pleasant, decent, even-keeled person (in that you are not threatened by SIL - not that you should be, but you would be surprised at how some grown women act!).  SIL is lucky to have you.

OP here.  Wow thanks, that was really nice.  I don't actually think SIL is being picked on at all.  She and BIL are just a little bit of the world-is-out-to-get-them mentality, although on the whole they are good people.  It's just a bad combination with my MIL, who is also a good person but just snarky sometimes, and has no idea how truly bitchy she comes off.  She's always been this way to an extent, but once we had a kid the floodgates really opened.  I do think it's a good idea for me to talk to SIL and make sure she realizes that I feel just as judged as she does.  On the surface our parenting choices are probably more in line with MIL's preferences than SIL's will be, but even if we did everything her way MIL would find a way to judge b/c she is dissatisfied with her own life.  Thanks for the good food for thought.[/quote]
