[quote=Anonymous]Just give the same response every single time. Do it quickly and every time. If she asks why you keep saying that, just respond with, “Well I figured you wanted some congratulations since you keep sharing how you were better at something. Is there some other reason you keep telling us how you are better?”

[quote=Anonymous]My MIL consistently and persistently says things such as the following:

Noticing the kids have a pimple: “I never had a pimple in my life.”
[b]Sounds like you’re the pimple winner of the family. Congratulations!”[/b]

When babies fuss: “My boys never fussed. They were perfect.”
[b]“Sounds like you’re the winner at mothering in the family. Congratulations!”[/b]

About herself: “I’ve always had an incredibly flat stomach.”
[b]“Sounds like you’re the winner of the flattest stomach in the family. Congratulations!”[/b]

Daughter is moody: “I’m always in a good mood. My sons were never moody.”
[b]“Sounds like you’re the winner in mood regulation. Congratulations!”[/b]

When people have freckles or any kind of blemish: “I’ve never had such a thing. They’re just awful.”
[b]“Sounds like you’re the winner with clear skin. Congratulations!” [/b]

“My guys never had sugar. I made everything from scratch.”
[b]“Sounds like you were the best mom on the planet. Congratulations!”[/b]
