[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, like the PP said, you cannot change the other person and only control yourself.

In my case, my MIL tends to be selfish. She does not like the baby stage and never helped us. She said she is "not into babies". When she came to visit during my pregnancy and I was on strict bed rest, she would go out for dinner and never offered to cook for me. When she left, she stripped the bed she was sleeping on and put the sheets on top of the washer for me to wash, etc. You get the idea.

I told my husband that I will NEVER forget that. She can forget about asking us for any help in the future. What goes around... Now my DD is older and she wants to come around more, but she has an older car and needs a new one. She does not have enough money to buy it. She knows better than to ask us for help. I sold our extra car at Carmax instead of giving it to her. Control what you can and don't worry about the MIL.[/quote]

Never forget the sheets thing?  Maybe she thought she was being helpful by stripping the bed at all.  We have had may guests who just pull up the covers when they leave and don't remove their sheets.  I always appreciate it when they take the sheets off for me.[/quote]

Yeah I don't really see that as a big deal at all.[/quote]
