[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t know but my mother (and MIL to a lesser extent) are the same way. It drives me insane. I don’t judge them for making different choices! But at the same time I’m allowed to be my own person and make different decisions for my family. Very frustrating.[/quote] I am opposite my MIL - DH chose me for his reasons, and I respect those reasons. MIL takes it personally, because everything is about her, and this "personality trait" (narcissism) gets worse with age. So, I can do no right, and that is fine with me, because no one else has had such a problem with me in my life, so I know it is on her to correct her attitude. It has spilled over to our kids, and MIL's favorite kid has (surprise!) spawned MIL's favorite grandkids, as predicted. They can do no wrong, also as predicted. Some people are very black and white OP - in MIL's case, it is called "splitting". So gross.[/quote]
