[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]God yes. My MIL has all these bizarre romanticized ideas about her kids and what an awesome parent she was. She even commented that my daughters crying was so very much louder than her sons’ polite noises. Her kids never fought, not a once. Everything was amaze balls. It’s amazing because she’s incompetent, filthy, undisciplined and disorganized so, mind blown that she had these dream children. [/quote]

My MIL was the same way, she has since been diagnosed with dementia.

My husband has very negative memories of certain things/actions/situations/people that she ABSOLUTELY refused to recognize because it conflicts with the romanticized version of her role as a "perfect" mother.

Good times, good times.[/quote]

Same here. My MIL and DH remember his childhood very differently. She thinks she was the perfect mom while he tells me stories that clearly negatively affect him still. My MIL is still extremely judgmental but then acts like a wounded animal any time you say anything that could be construed as critical to her. [/quote]
