[quote=Anonymous]This will work. "Is it important to you that they have jobs?" If she says yes then you can ask her why it's important to her. The point of this is to keep her on the defensive instead of the offensive. If she says no then just laugh and move on, or say "me neither". Let's practice: Her: when is your son going to learn to do his laundry? You: is that important to you? Her: yes and it should be important to you too. You: why is it important to you? Why should it be important to me? Her: everyone should know how to do their laundry. You: by what age should people know how to do their laundry ? You get the picture. Just keep asking her questions. I do this with my mother-in-law and it works like a charm, she now knows she's not going to get anywhere with me when she asks inane questions. [/quote]
