[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mother is very argumentative and super 'respectttttt me, I'm your mother, you do as I say blah blah'. Anyways, I recently in my early 30s, came to the conclusion that I've let her down. She had big dreams of me (re: grandchildren) that my husband and I have no interest in. I don't dote on her because she's so unpleasant that I can nearly get through 2 days a year for a visit. Again, I let her down, and once I embraced the ridiculousness of that, nothing she says bothers me. I just smile and keep moving when she says something crazy. It's taken her by surprise, as she tries and tries to get me to scream at her like I used to, and thats the most delicious part HAHAHAH.

From what felt like age 10 - 29 was rough, now I'm smooth sailing. And like pp said, I grieved it and really wanted to move past her crazy, so I did. Helps to lean in to some of my friends parents who are always so kind to me.[/quote]

This is my MIL - summed up quite well.  Boy, they try to bait you. [/quote]
