[quote=Anonymous]I have a similar issue with my mom - her criticism started with "I can't believe you think you can have a baby in your tiny apartment" and then repeated "I don't know where you're going to fit this stuff" comments aimed at making us feel like we are bad parents for having a kid in an apartment. I have the same issue where she doesn't see things from other peoples' perspective and if I brought up that it hurt my feelings when she says these things she was just say "geez, why are you sensitive??" (like, really?). I finally said "Mom, it would be great if you could focus your comments on some more positives, like how we've made a comfortable and cozy home for our family." Beyond that, I just completely ignore the comments and change the subject or walk away, and tell my family not to tell me what she says about me.[/quote]
