[quote=Anonymous]I'm confused when you say that MIL wants a surface-level relationship, but also that you're involved with her to the degreee that involves confrontation and yelling. Surface-level implies to me that you stick to safe topics of conversation, don't share deeply emotional and private confidences, and don't spend a whole lot of time together. If that's the case, where is the friction? Why can't you just internally roll your eyes, say, "Sure, Betty, I am probably harming the kids by working outside the home/breastfeeding/sending them to summer camp" and laugh about her nonsense later with DH?[/quote]
