[quote=Anonymous]I have pretty good inlaws. They're mostly respectful of our parenting decisions, they include me in things, give me gifts during the holidays, offer help whenever we need it. And yet they drive me crazy! Especially MIL. I find that I'm sensitive. They comment constantly on how DS looks like DH and their side of the family. There's a big push to teach DS their family's traditions, while dismissing mine. They show up with the entire contents of their frig, leftovers and all and cover my counters with their food. They take over the cooking (I'm too healthy for them). FIL will up and take my 2 year old out of the house without telling me where they are going. Or will just get DS up in the morning because he wants to see him. Obviously none of these are major offenses (except the disappearing act with DS), but somehow I find myself majorly annoyed by them when they stay with us. I'm a nice person, I listen well, I self reflect, I keep my crap in check. And yet..ugh! I get so grouchy by the end of their visits! I'm honestly ashamed of how I feel towards them sometimes. Anyone else sensitive like this? And why is it? Is it just the differences in our family cultures? I am dreading the day when I am the MIL. Seems like they all get a bad rap.[/quote]
