[quote=Anonymous]OP, I have seen a very similar dynamic with my MIL and her mother. My MIL is a very kind, unassuming woman - but for some reason when her mother (i.e. my husband's grandma) is visiting , MIL is constantly snapping at her and being mean in a way I've never seen her act with anyone else. I assume it's some old family dynamic playing out, but it really reflects badly on MIL. It's great you recognize this and want to try to change how you are acting. Can you come up with some mantra you can repeat to yourself before speaking out? Or give yourself small rewards for sucessfully surpressing yourself from lashing out? Or at least make an effort to balance any meanness with outward expressions of kindness and appreciation, as well as apologies for when you realize you've been unkind? [/quote]
