[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I am with you on this.  I love my MIL, but when she goes on and on about how stressful parenting is for my SIL (her daughter) who is a sahm, lives in a much lower col area and her DH makes as much or more than us combined and she has a nanny 4 days a week and someone who cleans and cooks for her I come close to losing my mind.  We all vacation together and MIL talks about how she needs to get up early to let her daughter sleep in because parenting is so stressful for her, it is insane.

Luckily, SIL is great and completely competent and sane , this is all in MIL's head.

MIL is generally great and loves all the grandkids.  [/quote]

OP here ... yes it is so frustrating! I feel crazy sometimes, like who could actually think like this? But she does. It really hurts my feelings like she thinks I don't work hard or care enough to offer help ... or something. I almost can't put my finger on what the actual feeling is. My relationship with my sister suffers because of it.

To those who have said that my mom probably talks about me non-stop to my sister ... I know that's not the case. I've asked my sister.[/quote]
