[quote=Anonymous]They sound insufferable. FWIW, my parents say shit like this, too. My automatic response is, "What a great gift idea!" or "Would you like to pay for it?" So, when MIL says "You need a SFH," the answer is, "I totally agree. Would you like to help with the downpayment?" Or when she says, "You need a nanny," DH should say, "Wouldn't that be wonderful? That would be such a great gift for you to give your grandchildren." (And all of these comments should DEFINITELY come from DH, not you. His mom, his problem.) She complains about towels? "Oh, I'm sure DW would love to receive some for Christmas." As for the parenting advice (pierced ears on a baby? More peanut butter? WTF?), tune it out and ask someone to pass the bean dip. "How about those Nationals?"[/quote]
