[quote=Anonymous]My MIl is good at cooking and cleaning. I ask her about recipes, ask if I can copy some (sometimes she won't share... Secret recipe), she shows me how to make things. She teaches my kids how to cook. Also she can get a spot out of everything. My kids will bring her a shirt when she visits and say, my mom can't get the spot out can you... And she does. She use to make comments about ... You just need to put a little elbow freeze into it, etc. I don't take it personally. Hey, I took her son from her, she needs to have wins somewhere. When people come over and she is there I say,I could ever make food this good, yea my MIL made this it's delicious, etc. The key is to actually find something she is better at, I am not being condescending. Also, I don't really understand not being able to relate to people because they are different. They are small town, big deal. People are people. Do you have problems relating to other people that are different than you? [/quote]
