[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you shouldn't be sharing with her, complaining to her, whatever you are doing.

Something has prompted this

OP here.  Wish I could remember what prompted her to say that, but I do not.  Our conversation is always innocuous, I know better than to say anything of substance to her.  I was so stunned (she said this in the presence of my husband) I turned to my DD (who isn't even two) and said sorry girl, you are not perfect but you will always be good enough for mom!

I think her "perfect" comment stems from the comment she has made since our DD was born.  She makes it a point to tell
ME each time she visits how [b]wonderful it is her son is so involved with DD[/b].  I have tried to handle this in various ways, but she loves to repeat it.  I know my husband is a wonderful person (I married him!) but sorry, co-parenting isn't an above and beyond behavior.  [/quote]

Maybe it's because her own husband (your DH's father) wasn't as involved, so she thinks her son is  so great that he is involved.  A lot of moms think their sons are "perfect". My MIL hangs on DH's every word.[/quote]
