[quote=Anonymous]I like to take it to the generic “society these days…” point. Whatever it is, just let her yap. Ask her how things were in her day. Did she go back to work? Did she want to? If not, was it hard staying home alone? If she comments on your kids food, ask what she fed her kids. Does she know your dr tells you to cut up grapes? Is that weird, or did she have to do that? Eh, make it a time for her to reminisce if she is sweet, or for her to rail against the idiocy of modern parenting is she leans that way. You do not, ever, need to take any of her opinions seriously…you & your DH can commiserate later & laugh about it. Realize - this person has no impact on what you do. (Unless you somehow are depending on her financially, then that’s another conversation.) Look at it like humoring an elder & letting her reminisce/ chat without an actual “vote”, as you would hope your child (& their spouse) would. [/quote]
