[quote=Anonymous]"Betty, if you aren't willing to help with Timmy, please tell Bob or me.  Leaving him sit in a dirty diaper gives him a very painful rash and that's not fair to him.  You don't have to take care of him if you don't want, but don't neglect him either."  Bam!  Call her out - nicely.

Faucet - shrug it off.  But as for the backhanded comment, just a simple "Sorry you feel that way.  No one's ever pointed that out to me before"

I probably would have gotten the muffin too if it was a one time thing (are they visiting?) but after coming back I would have said "Oh I just came back and have things to put away.  I'm sure Bob will take you." Busy yourself with the kids or house and deflect straight onto DH.

"I'm sorry you aren't happy with the way I parent but this is how we do it so I guess you'll have to manage."

And yes, you probably will have to get a thick skin because she will keep saying things, but that does NOT mean you can't challenge her each and every time and it certainly does NOT NOT NOT mean that your husband shouldn't back you up!!  The fact that he lets these comments pass is even more cruel than her making them to begin with.    Sure "she's like that" but does he have to be too?  [/quote]
