[quote=Anonymous]OP here:

wow. that sounds like my Mil. a lot like my MIL. she actually said several times that i was too panicky to take care of my kids and that's why she had to stay and "help" out - yes, lady, i'm pretty damn panicky when my dh needs surgery and my infant gets super sick while husband is home on bedrest and then toddler gets sick. it sucked. and MIL was a total drama queen - as many of the posts describe.

a lot of "woe is me - my son is hurt. its me who is suffering. i can't cope" - she made a huge deal about calling out of work for a week and had no comment to the fact that I, who carries the lion's share of the income and the INSURANCE, had to take off work to take my husband to appointments, take MIl to the grocery store, and take the kids to the doctors. i don't begrudge my kids or dh, obviously; it was more the high drama - "how will we eat? who will cook?" as i was knee-deep in poopy diapers, a toddler who was crying all the time b/c her father couldn't pick her up, an infant who was febrile, and my dh sick as shit. it was SO damn hard. and this woman made it all about HERSELF.

as she continues to do.

i wish i could help dh - i guess i should have said "hey, sounds like that was a hard conversation with yoru mom. how can i help?" but i kind of don't have the empathy for her anymore. i have spent seven long years being the bigger person =- picking up the phone and calling her repeatedly when she is downright rude, mean, and obnoxious.[/quote]
