[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mom was like this and when I pointed out to her how her remarks stung, she'd gaslight me and insist that I was too sensitive. There's no reasoning with her. Best thing to do is ignore.[/quote] Yes, this was my mom too. At least OP's mom offers to help. Just say thanks for the help and ignore or don't respond to as much criticism as possible. I can understand it stings even worse when mom insists on telling other family members you aren't meeting her standards. [/quote] My MIL is a huge gossip and trash talker. I just ignore it now. The one thing I cannot stand (especially as my kids get older and start to understand her) is her trash talking me and DH to my kids (telling them bad things about mommy and daddy and how she hopes they don't grow up to do things like mommy and daddy).
