[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here- though some examples might be useful. For instance, MIL will ask

1) So, how much weight have you gained!? (in pregnancy- I honestly don't thing she's being bitchy, but I don't want to talk about it)

[b]"I really don't remember"[/b]

2) So, C section or a vaginal birth

[b]"I'll work with my doctor on that"[/b]

3) ME: I don't want you to put make up on my baby
HER: But we have so much fun! Why not!? THere's nothing wrong with it.

[b]"I am very uncomfortable with that, and she is my baby."[/b]  <---- assertiveness necessary here, and if she pushes, [b]"please don't question my parenting decisions."[/b]

4) HER: But [my SIL's kids, her grandchildren by her daughter] are allowed to...

[b]"I suppose that works for them - but not for us."[/b]

Yes to all of these.
Print this out and tape it to your bathroom mirror. Immediately after saying any of these responses, say "I wonder if it will rain tonight. What do you think?"[/quote]
