[quote=Anonymous]Stop taking anything she does personally. You stand up against really inappropriate behavior--playing obvious favorites with your kids, for example--and just let the rest roll on by. Don't engage with it. Let her cook. Let her stay home while you go out and do stuff. Just let her judgments float by (imagine the "waw waw waw waw" voice of the adults in Charlie Brown). And think about the things she is and does that are positive--she does visit a lot, so she wants to spend time with you, for example. Think of other things about her that are good--is she a good cook, for example? Focus on those, and compliment them when you see her. Look for and reward the positive, and ignore the negative (unless it's really not okay, like the playing favorites). [/quote]
