[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP she is probably just jealous she has to work until her death because no one would take care of her. It's pure jealousy. Call her out on it. [/quote]
Why do people always call other women jealous to make themselves feel better? OPs DH said that drive and ambition are important to her and she's retired so she's obv not "working until her death".

I don't agree with her comment, but its quite an old sexist trope to accuse every woman who says something contrary of being jealous. [/quote]

NP. She may not be jealous, but she is insecure: secure people do not try to belittle others. They are simply too busy enjoying their own life and minding their own business. Only insecurity or jealousy motivates people to be unkind to someone they ALLEGEDLY love and/or have close ties to. [/quote]

Nah, I don't think the MIL is insecure. She doesn't likes OP and views her as a burden on her son. There are some type A personalities who are driven by adrenaline and look down at people not having a career.  [/quote]

This. Your job is to cut them off when they start belittling you or your life choices. Spend as little time around her as possible and do not give her information about how you are occupying your time. [/quote]
