[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mom creates reasons to be upset. She gets bad at the dumbest things, things that in no way have anything to do with her. The way you know she is upset is she gets cold in the conversation or ends it all together, bitches to everyone else in my family but me and my sister will sometimes mention it and never actually address or admit her feelings about it. Even if you bring it up with her she denies being upset about it while making it entirely obvious that she is so upset about it. She is a nutcase.

I limit my interaction with her and this is one of a million reasons.  I would try not to engage further when she continues the conversation about it. Your first response gave an apology, reason and confirmed that he was spending the night there. After she keeps engaging in that conversation, I would ignore or change the subject instead of keep explaining and keep apologizing.

My mom is also very competitive about everything with my MIL so she would be offended that MIL was babysitting and she wasn't. Even if she didn't want to she wouldn't want MIL to. And she NEVER wants to hear information from MIL, she wants to know everything first so if she knew MIL knew something before she did or heard something from MIL before she heard it from me she would be offended/upset/angry. Sounds like your mom might also be a little competitive and jealous of your MIL?[/quote]

Op here. I identify so much with your last paragraph. Yes, she's so damn competitive even though they see ds more and ds prefers theme.  She will subtly put down my MiL.  Always wants to know What gifts she gave, Etc.   My parents are away this weekend so we never even asked them.  I still think she's miffed I didn't.   It's just such a weird dynamic and it's annoying.  I thought she was going to disown me when I told her it really didn't concern her how much they gave us when we got married. [/quote]

NP here. My mom does that too with gifts. Always needs to know who gave what. It was ridiculous after my wedding when she asked me what her friends gave us as if she's the gift police or something. I chalk it up to old lady nosiness. [/quote]
