[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My guess it's a habit that comes from being a teacher. She's used to correcting kids - it's part of her job. Either be direct with her that it's driving you batty, or let it go. [/quote] This is so interesting. My mother in law is a retired school teacher and is CONSTANTLY telling my kids (and her husband, but that's another story) what to do. Really micro-managing things- like "Drink your juice now," (does it matter if they drink their juice during the meal, or wait until they are done eating? Or don't drink it, period?), "put your shirt on" (uh- she is in the process of doing that. And what if she wanted to put on her pants before her shirt?). "Tell your mother about going to the library" It's like she is constantly prompting them to do things that they would do anyway or that don't really matter; like she thinks they are her little puppets or something. I wonder if it comes from being a teacher. I hate it.[/quote]
