[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mine makes comments about how lucky I am for owning all kinds of fairly common household objects (like a Keurig) and manages to tie it back to her son's generosity.  My DH is awesome but I'm the primary breadwinner in our family.[/quote]

My too. I hate it.[/quote]

Do you all not just say you make more money?  I'm pretty sure I'd say something like, "Well, since I make more money than your son, it's actually due to my generosity"[/quote]

I wouldn’t be able to resist saying it either! What do you ladies stand to gain by feeding her delusions?[/quote]

I'm one of the PPs. I avoid talking about money with her, period, because she's generally pretty crass and talks about how lucky we are and we have it made, etc. etc. so I see no need to invite comments. Plus the comments aren't explicit "you are so lucky to have such a great coffee maker because Bob makes so much money" but more insidious than that.[/quote]

Tilt your head, smile and look puzzled: "What do you mean by that Samantha?"[/quote]
