[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I have found that as my mother and MIL have aged (now in their eighties), that they have much less of a filter. Their deeply-held beliefs and opinions are voiced more often even when there are people present who could be offended. You are correct to think that she has probably always felt this way about you working. I think you responded appropriately. [/quote]

No, I don't think that you can assume that she has always felt this way towards Op.  It is just the topic of the week.  She could have seen something on t.v. that inspired those comments for all you know.

Just this past week my mom announced that she doesn't like ham.  Well, I guess that means that we won't be having ham at our holiday meals now.  Good to know!

She hasn't always disliked ham but her tastes have changed.  [/quote]

PP, You are too rational and sensible.  Are you new here? [/quote]

Lol, no.  I've just seen what ageing can do to an otherwise delightful, considerate person.  It happens.[/quote]
