[quote=Anonymous]OP here. I appreciate all these responses. It looks like consistency is the name of the game. Yes, it's tough when I am perceived as "cold" because I don't take this on myself, but working full-time, taking on most of the management of our children/household (even though DH helps a lot--"helping" is different from "managing"), I just can't take care of my family AND his. 12:33, wish I could be more social with my MIL, but that would just "open the floodgates." She already finds ways to offer unsolicited advice and make unreasonable demands at every turn, and I feel like if I give of myself even more, she'd take and expect more, more, more. It's sad, but true. I'm friendly toward her and do my very best to accommodate her, but it's never "enough." She doesn't just want some, she wants ALL.[/quote]
