[quote=Anonymous]My mom and I have a complicated relationship and we're doing better, mending fences. She is insecure about many things and I usually don't tell her good things about my life because she immediately responds with bragging/referencing something about her life. Sometimes she even makes up stories to "outdo" me. I have accepted this for the most part. The thing that I am having a hard time with is hurtful things she says about my parenting. E.g. in talking about my very rambunctious and disobedient 3-year old, she will say, "When he spends time at my house, he is a different child, so good and sweet. Nothing like at his own house." I know I am being sensitive but it just hurts my feelings that the insinuation is my parenting is bad somehow. How do you get past those jabs from an insecure mom?[/quote]
