[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's something anxious/nervous/kinda "wrong" with her. If you look at it from that perspective, hopefully you can find some compassion.

Might as well get over it, because it's not like she's suddenly going to stop doing that at 70+.

In a few years you might be kicking herself that that was your big complaint about her, as she ages and her health possibly deteriorates. Perspective.[/quote]Agree.  Sounds like anxiety to me.  And I know from my family and dh's family that people can hide enormous anxiety from you and it leaks out everywhere in things like chortling or in my mom's case, anxious sighs.  My mom used to make me angry when she did that.  I knew she was anxious and being indirect about it and I realized eventually that it made me anxious which made me angry.  At some point I dealt with it by recognizing my anxiety and telling myself that just because she was anxious there was no reason I needed to feel anxious.  Eventually her sighs did not affect me.  But it took me becoming aware of how they were affecting me internally.

Anyway, that might not be the case for you all.  This sounds just annoying.  But I pass it on in case it's of use.[/quote]
