[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with "actions speak louder than words". And with my own MIL I keep reminding myself that I am still the primary influence in my kids' lives, and that her bizarre statements will not immediately undo the things I try to instill in them. It's hard to remember, but it's the only way I can get past some things. They are going to encounter all kinds of people throughout their lives, and it's up to us to keep them grounded and confident enough to not take everything everyone else says to heart.[/quote]

I grew up with grandparents who had different beliefs than my family (around religion, not money, but similar).  It was very helpful for me in the long run, though painful at times, to know that we can be family even though we believe different things.  Your example will matter more to your children, not just about cleaning, but how different people have different values and priorities, but we can still get along and love each other.  You can have more conversations about these kinds of things as your daughter gets older, and meanwhile shoot down those kinds of comments from your MIL (bonus if DH will do it!).[/quote]
