[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“Wow Larla! Can anyone do anything right in your eyes?”

“Sounds like you have a lot opinions about how people raise their kids. It’s your lucky weekend that you’re here. We’ll certainly give you plenty to discuss with how we’re raising Pierpont.”

“So anyway, has anyone seen ‘Black Widow? I heard it was great.”

“So you didn’t like how the kids were behaving. Okay. Did anyone hear if it was going to rain later?”

Some variation of these last two could work, thanks PP.

I realize I could be super blunt, but one thing about my SIL is she's not completely oblivious, and she gives passive-aggression-- but also picks up on it. Being blunt may be both less effective and unnecessary.

I wish things weren't like this-- she really does have many wonderful qualities and can be very funny and giving. But she is deeply insecure and raised by a mother (also a lovely woman in many ways) who does the same thing and did the same thing to SIL's face about herself when she was a kid. So it's pretty deep. [/quote]
