[quote=Anonymous]I think you're reading too much into this. She's trying to let you relax and doesn't need the help. It's different when her parents come because she spent 18+ years living with them and therefore has different relationship with them: that doesn't mean you did something wrong, it' just that you are not her mother.

My MIL probably feels like you do. She's very nice, and helps a decent amount, but I don't want her to help cook when she offers because I don't need help and our kitchen is small and she frankly doesn't like to cook and isn't great at it, and I don't want ANYONE helping me with my laundry or getting my coffee. It's not personal. Still, my MIL talked to my DH and even my own mom (they talk sometimes) and how she felt she hadn't "bonded with me" and I was really put off: jfc, woman, we get along, everything's fine, what do you want from me - to do each other's nails and talk about boys?

Sometimes you just have to let go of the vision you had and accept the reality that is. Sounds like yours isn't bad, but that you're just upset about a perceived situation unnecessarily. [/quote]
