[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My MIL makes it a general practice to ignore me whenever she can.  When she is not ignoring me she makes a point to negate everything I say and likes to go against our wishes for food, tv watching, and every other topic you can imagine.  It is very stressful being around her but she genuinely loves our DS so there is that.[/quote]

Thank you for your post!  OP here.  I am obviously thinking about this too much, I realize, but it has come to a head recently. I suppose I would feel better if she saw our children or showed any warmth.  I realize she is probably depressed, and I can not help her with that, but it is awful to see.  Kind of heart wrenching, as we see warm, involved grandparents, seemingly twice her age, every day!

This is just part of the problem.  Btu as an example, when traveling, we see 90+ frail women chasing toddlers around airports (or even hot weather!), for long periods of time,  as if it was normal for them.  I know Mil will never (ever) be that; be geez, apply minimal effort, get excited about something, anything.  As for me, I know she will always ignore me, which is fine.  But don't be rude to my kids - they are not stupid, they know. [/quote]
