[quote=Anonymous]Does FIL drive? If so, let him go get the muffins and the prescriptions. If your MIL tells you you're a bad mother to two, just look at her with surprise and say "what an oddly rude thing to say" and then pleasantly change the subject. Politely set limits where you can, and if youre matter-of-fact and not apologetic, there's not much they can do. I agree completely with the approach to be calm, pleasant and non-committal, not letting her get to you. Treat her comments in your mind as unimportant (do you really care what she says?) and the rest of it as the actions of someone with mental illness. If you treat it like water off a duck's back, it might needle her and more importantly will help you not waste energy being upset by her.[/quote]
