[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. To answer the PP's question - my mom is from Germany. Interesting that all responses were consistent with my experience. [/quote] My German MIL is pretty positive to my face although she is a deeply critical person so I think she was hard on her daughter whose kids are nearly grown now. She's also old (dh was a late in life surprise) so she may have mellowed. I do think that my naturally straightforward, WYSIWYG temperament has made our relationship work. I unintentionally called her out several times early on and she got the hint that if she says something mean, I'm going to look her in the eyes and say: that hurt me, why would you say something like that? Of course, the baggage with your own mom is harder to overcome. As always, work on yourself cause ain't nobody else gonna change for you. [/quote]
