[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd love to not have any MIL drama! It's not all bad, in general a lot of the time is fine. I contribute to this for sure. Mainly because I resent how much she sees my own family as competition. No one in my family is a score keeper, and she is one, BIG TIME. It only engenders unkind feelings towards her. It feels so petty and small. I hope to be more loving, open and kind when I'm a MIL.[/quote] The scorekeeping and comparisons of who sees the grandkids more is so annoying. It comes from a place of insecurity. They wish they were young again and they can't help but hating the younger DILs. The relationship becomes toxic. How do you deal with the toxicity when, as others said, you're up against a wall and have to spend time with them?[/quote]
