[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Said by MIL to DD (age one!) who was swishing her dress on the hardwood floor. [b]"We don't wash floors, we hire people to do that for us."[/b] I immediately responded, "I wash floors. And she can wash floors if she wants to." The whole statement was so effed up, and I probably could've responded better but it was the only thing that came to me in the moment. Everything out of MIL's mouth is "princess this, princess that..." I can't take it! I have tried to tell her nicely to stop but it's not working. MIL already raised her own snotty, over privileged daughter (my SIL) and I don't want her instilling these ideas into my DD. I have no problem with a little bit of princess every once in awhile but "we don't wash floors?" ugh. We don't have a cleaning service so I do wash floors and clean many other things as well. And DD will learn to pick up her toys and help clean as she grows. Even if We did have a cleaning service, I see no reason for her to think she's "above" a little hard work/cleaning.
Sorry for the rant but I have no one else to share this with. DH thinks its harmless bc we only see MIL once a month but the older DD gets the more she will start to understand these kinds of statements and I really hope she doesn't take them to heart.[/quote]

"EWWW, MIL, that is something only the poors say out loud!"[/quote]
