[quote=Anonymous]NP here. My mom sounds similar to yours OP and it stems from anxiety and insecurity. When I was getting married, my mom was obsessed with what my in laws were wearing to the wedding, what they were giving us for the shower/wedding, how many people were invited on their side because she wanted to make sure they had the same number if not more, etc. When I got pregnant, it was what MIL was giving me for my shower, what other stuff she was giving me, what she gives DS for bday/christmas, etc. Every time my mom did something that she perceived was better than my in-laws, she would always point it out. She'd point out stupid things like their grammar because she was a teacher so would always point out ways in which they appeared "dumb". It's exhausting and she also guilt trips me about it. No suggestions OP as my mom won't do therapy either, but I feel for you. It makes holidays and events very stressful. [/quote]
